2-1 Tigers, bottom 4.

Gosh, even though it's 2-2 in the 7th, I still feel like we're down a couple of runs. It's felt like that all night.

Maybe this is a discussion for another day, but what's the logic of batting Cabrera fourth when the team so obviously doesn't have three legitimate hitters to put ahead of him?

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

I suppose the only advantage that I see is that if Miggy bats in the 1st inning, he's guaranteed to have someone on base. And Boesch has been pretty decent lately, this game exempted.

This whole game has been tough to watch. We're not hitting, and we've made enough mistakes in the field to make it feel like we're down 5-2 instead of 3-2.

I know teams are going to adjust eventually, but Albaquerque has something like 37 Ks in 20 innings or so. That's just ridiculous.

Welcome to the last month or so of Detroit sports talk radio.

Ugh. We could have caught Cleveland tonight, but Santiago grounds out to 2nd to end the game, just seconds after nearly hitting a walk-off bomb. He was pinch-hitting for Raburn, so it's not like Raburn would have done anything better.

Yeah, about three feet foul.

Answer my own question about Seattle: their pitching is pretty good, even though their offense sucks. It's like playing the Baltimore Ravens. No Ichiru last night, either. Now we get to face their top two pitchers. Our semi-AAA lineup really bit tail last night.

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

It wouldn't surprise me if, when Ordonez is activated, it's Raburn that gets designated for assignment to make room. They're getting to the point where they're going to have to throw Danny Worth into the water and find out if he can sink or swim.

Oh, and Scott Sizemore had the GW triple for the A's last night against the White Sox.

Don't look now, but the Twins are only 10 back and 8-2 in their last ten.

/not going to count them out until they're ****ing mathematically eliminated.

It is a long summer, and we never do know when exactly the wheels might fall off.

Let's see if we can beat King Felix today. Tigers have the best average in baseball so far in June at .325. Indians have played 2 fewer games, but nice to see the team trying to keep it together while they have injuries. The series against the Indians will be huge.

This inning got messy in a hurry.
