DeTrOiT TiGeRs BaSeBaLL

Royals, Yankees, no score in the 3rd.

 

1-0 Yankees. Jeter with the RBI.

I feel dirty.

 

lol, i hear ya, will - but hey - it's business.

 

2-1 Yankees in the 7th.

 

Jeter with another RBI hit, 5-1 Yankees!


If Jeter was named Cabrera and played for the Tigers, I would be a fan.

 

Yanks pounding them 8-1 now.

Fans in KC were pretty cool. A very loud standing ovation for Jeter as he took his last at bat there.

 

i saw 2 or 3 tigers games in 84 at kaufman stadium. always had a good time, the fans were great.

 

84 was a good year. Thats a really sharp stadium too.

Its a final in KC...8-1 Yankees. They will travel to Detroit tonight to play 3 against the Tigers. I am now switching to Yankees hatred mode...

...ahhhh. It's nice to be back.

New York tries for a season-best sixth straight win Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers. So, the Yankees are hot and the Tigers are desperate. A good mix to create a good game.

Porcello will square off against B. McCarthy.

Cabrera should be good to go... Tigers must take this series... Yankees in town... race for the play-offs. Sounds fine to me.

Seems to be some concerns Sanchez may not pitch again during the regular season. Hope thats not the case, but if it is, thats going to mean more spot starts by Mud Hens and we saw how well that went.

 

The start of tonight's game will be delayed by rain. A start time has not been determined.

 

First pitch; 8:15.



Things are looking better. Tarp coming off.

 

1-0 Tigers in the 3rd.

No score between the Twins and royals...3rd also.

 

2-0 Tigers, 5th.
