KELLY!!!

1-0, 1 out in the game.

And now there's someone yelling in the background of Rod and Mario, presumably in Spanish.

I've generally been happy with what happens when Don Kelly puts on a mitt, and he tried to make the right play by coming home, but he made one helluva mess there.

yeah, that was ugly. Not a way to win a job in the infield.

The wheels have come completely off of Coke since Kelly lobbed one to the backstop from 95 feet.

I saw that. That's also at least the 2nd time the Tigers have drafted Colin Kaline, too.

They're late-round picks. I don't have a problem with it at all.

Cabrera just saved Coke's buttcheeks, and someone from the Rangers might get run because of it.

Upon further review, they've got a legitimate beef.

Jim Northrup has died.

Don't forget Ed Brinkman:

Finished 9th in the 1972 AL MVP voting, despite hitting .203 (!)

Oh, I remember Eddie. Got him in the same trade I think w/ Washington with ARodriguez and Joe Coleman for DMcLain. They were all serviceable players, although you are right, Brinky couldn't hit his weight. (Remember his brother was an umpire, too?-Joe) Very few SS who could then- Concepcion for Cincy being the exception, and that was in the mid 70's. Reminded me of Baltimore's SS-Mark Belanger or the NYY-Gene Michael. Even later when Ozzie Smith came along he wasn't a big hitter. Ah, the young days.

Jim Northrup has died.

One of the guys I emulated as a LHer. Good glove, decent running skills, decent power. One of Alma College's finest products. RIP, Jim, your 1968 fingerprints will never be forgotten, unlike your color commentary on PASS. Northrup hit a 3 run hr against Oakland in my first game I ever saw at Tiger Stadium live- 8-5 win for the home team in 1969.

Good win tonight for Verlander and the boys after coming in real late from Texas. Maybe they can stay hot at home and get over 10 games above .500
I can't believe how poor the Mariners offense is... how have they won 32 games this season-except that they cleaned up on the Tigers earlier this season.

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

Going to catch the game Saturday......on our way to Adrian College golf outing !
Hope they maintain their winning ways.

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

Was that outing today or tomorrow?

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

We could really use a win tonight. Just saying.
