The Price is Right is definitely the case tonight. What an impressive performance. Just what was envisioned when the Tigers traded for him.

Nitro is definitely Nitro tonight as well. The Tigers need to carry a multi-run lead into the ninth inning to have a chance of winning. And even then it is very likely to be a nail biter.

I agree with not singling out a player in the media. However, Brad Ausmus better be "talking" to his hitters. The Tigers will need to score runs because the bull pen is suspect.

Good experience for Mercedes. Hopefully he can become a little more seasoned down in Toldeo and <future> become a part of an improved Tigers bull pen.

 

Tigers gain a game on the Royals - now only 0.5 game back.

Well OK, the Mariners are up by a TD. I'm going out for a while and grab a bite to eat. When I get back, maybe some better news from the ballpark...or maybe not. At least I wont be hungry.

 

That was ugly. No hitting, no pitching, no win. Fans should get a refund.

 

u forgot no fielding.

*HELP* *REF*

 

My bad.

What ever happened to home field advantage? Big road trip on tap. Hope they straighten things out.

Its been strange in Copa with fans booing, sloppy play, silent bats ...

Thanks for that, ml. Looks pretty scary to me. Tigers better turn it around and in a hurry. I cant believe there's such little time left to do so. They certainly cant fall back any more to KC and they better hand them their hats when they go head-to-head.

It is officially scoreboard watching time.

Keep the reports coming in, please.

Sorry Lutz but the Tigers lost 1/2 game tonight.

Lately, even when the Tigers don't play, they still seem to lose.

nothing that can't be fixed with a big crock pot and a little patience
