A day like this might by the only time where I miss Kyle Farnsworth.

I'll tell you what, Assdribble Cabrera. If you've got a problem with the way Porcello is pitching to you, go ahead and go to the mound and do something. Ask Kevin Youkilis how well that works out for you.

Especially since Youkilis probably gave Porcello his herpes.

I was going to make a comment about Inge striking out with the bases loaded, but two hits later it's 9-1. I'll leave him alone for the time being.

That 415 ft blast is going to draw a column from Lynn Henning.

The Tribe screwed that one up a few times, from Brantley dropping the ball to the 3B not handling the throw.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Also, I haven't bothered to look. What options are there at catcher once the rosters expand?

Both of Toledo's catchers, Omir Santos and Max St. Pierre, are in their 30s and are batting sub-.200 in AAA this year. Erie's catchers, Bryan Holaday and John Murrian, are not ready for the majors yet. Santos spent some time in Detroit back in April when Martinez was on the disabled list, and was the Mets' starting catcher in 2009, so he would probably be the one most likely to get the call on September 1.

Very nice win tonight. The Tigers definitely need to win this series since Cleveland had caught up to Detroit in the loss column. Granted, winning three out of three games, which Detroit had in hand over Cleveland, is no small feat for anyone in this division, but it's still a little too close for comfort.

Inge? Eh. Maybe a little better fielding at 3B and not really a significant difference at the plate. I can't complain too much since it's not like they're taking a valuable asset out of the lineup for him.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

They're calling up the 29 year old Inge that can catch and give Avila a blow, right?

No? It's the worthless 37 year old? He's is going to start at 3rd about 80% of the time? Awesome.
