lies, damn lies, and statistics

batting average through sunday: (full stats here)

Shelton - .363
Ordonez - .333
Guillen - .326
Polanco - .324
White - .307
Rodriguez - .297
Monroe - .292

and that doesn't even include the young call-up Granderson, who is hitting .400. Why oh why have the Tigers only won half of their games thus far? oh right--spotty pitching and a nearly mythical ability to lose 1-run games.
