2 guys that I have a feeling are not long for this roster: Santiago and Brayan Pena.
Tigers were trying to pedal Santiago anyway. The guy has digressed as a MLBer, but stays on because there isn't anyone else the Tigers feel is ready to bring up or spend to trade for. Same with their back-up catcher. At least in 1984 we had Castillo as a back-up. But name me a WS champ that worried about having a productive back-up? The only time that comes into play is long term injury. These are fringe players that give the regulars a blow. Great teams get production from them when in the lineup, especially now that the roster sizes are limited from what they were in the past. It is definitely a weak link for the Tigers.
As for the pitching staff- unless our starters go longer in games, the reliefers will be exposed. Plenty of potential and lack of consistent execution. We knew this coming out of Florida. Villareal, Albuquerque, Downes... all unproven. Coke, Benoit, etc- we know what we are suppose to be getting.

Well, that was a fortunate win. By last count the Tigers have piddled away three games this season. I'll consider this one as one they earned, maybe even stole.
Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Verlander nearly at 130 thru 7. He gave up 2 runs in the 7th, but our offense has been stalled in Seattle. 2 runs in 21 innings.
Yet, he took the responsibility for hanging a curve that drove in the winning run. Gotta like that.
Tigers haven't done well against Seattle the last couple of seasons, so I'll take 2 out of 3... shame your ace didn't get any run support, though. It's like giving back the game the night before that they were fortunate to win.
