That was not one of Betemit's better at bats. Still better than Inge, but that's like saying something stinks less than a 3-day old dead possum.
He sees that Leyland lets Inge play 60+% of the time at 3rd hitting .180 so he figures if he starts doing the same maybe he'll get to play some too.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
I remember one night a couple years ago where he had a walk-off walk and he stood there at home plate jumping up and down with his bat over his head. Someone had to tell him "hey, fuzznuts, you gotta go to 1st base".
EDIT: After watching the replay, I hope he remembered to step on home plate.
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Follow up Santiago's heroics with a three run 8th inning rally to hold off KC, 5-4 on wednesday afternoon. Tigers now ar ein the EXACT same spot as in 2009: 26 games to go, 5.5 and 6 game lead over their chief competitors. The make up game is today with Jacob Turner going. Then, the 3 games against the Sox followed by three at Cleveland. We should know where we stand come next Thursday. The good news, though, in case we stumble is, the Sox and Indians have to play each other multiple times as well. 14 home games left. 12 on the road. Go 13-13 and finish at 88-74. That should be good enough to win the Central. BUT, the Tigers could also jump over Texas if they make a run, too, and finish with the 2nd best divisional record. Worth noting.
Interesting comments by Curt Schilling on ESPN baseball (NYY/Sox) last night. When setting up the series with the White Sox, (Sunday night on ESPN, BTW) it was noted that Detroit is streaky offensively, average defensively, and only has two consistent starters. "No chance" to advance in the playoffs if they win the division. On Chicago: "underperformed" all season, but still dangerous. Ozzie's job is on the line.

If you can, you want the Yankees. The Tigers only have two starters. As far as I can tell, the Yankees have one.

Well I know who one of the "two" starters is....but I wonder who is considered to be the second.
Based on recent performance who is the second pitcher considered to be worthy of mention ?

Fister.

Streaky offensively and inconsistent starters = No chance. Okay. So what if the offense and pitching is streaky good that week, Curt?
