Nice start.

 

C'mon Coke! Time to shine.

 

Hell, Castellanos got caught cheating at 3rd. Cant blame Coke for that.

 

Al-Al gets the strike em out throw em out double play... wOOt!!!

 

Joba in to close this thing out. Hang on!

 

Oh my...

 

Royals won their 7th straight today. If the Tigers lose this marathon, the lead in the Central will be just a half game.

 

...and we go to the 17th inning. %)

 

Ridiculous! 19

 

Blue Jays win it in the bottom of the 19th, 6-5. Damn!

 

I always thought of Joba as the Bumble. Note the similarity in pitching styles.

With today's loss, the Tigers now have no cushion left. Brad Ausmus has the opportunity to show (once again) that he was the right choice to replace Jim Leyland.

Next up, the Tigers have a Home and Home with the Pirates. And while the Pirates have been struggling, the Tigers need to not overlook this team.

Krol, Justin Miller up from Toledo, contract of RHP Kevin Whelan purchased, Casey Crosby released, Hardy and McCoy to Toledo; Soria on 15-day DL. I hope i got that right.

 

A bases loaded triple? Tigers are depressing lately.

 

After a 19 inning game...this happens. JV given up 5 in the first already.

I cant look!

 

JV leaves game with a sore shoulder.

The problems mount.

 

the scorekeeper in pitt is very generous. the tigers should have about seventeen errors now by my count.
