The Detroit Tigers kick off the second half of the MLB season in Kansas City on Friday night. It was a rough first half, with injuries decimating the starting rotation and a power outage at nearly every position. All the losses — including 25 of their past 28 games at Comerica Park — were enough to have folks wondering if maybe, just maybe, the Tigers could make a run (or is that a fall) at their American League record of 119 losses, set back in 2003.
