Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version
So I'll be at the game tomorrow afternoon, somewhere in the upper deck. I don't have the tickets, so I don't know which section. On the shots of the outfield, I don't see where they've put anything resembling a statue behind where they've painted his number. Be prepared for a rant if there isn't one.

As Sparky once said, "We ain't ragamuffins no more!" Back to first place alone (for now):
In honor of that and the series win:

Leyland is going to get a couple games for tonight's rant. He was wrong as hell, but it was worth it.
And the Tigers continue to not treat Sparky right, even when they do honor him. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for not giving him a statue in right-center above his number, just like the other 6 numbers retired. This whole thing looks like it was thrown together about 2 weeks ago. The ceremony was nice, but that wasn't right. If you're going to give Willie Horton a statue (which I have no objection to whatsoever), you **** sure should give your HOF manager one as well.

I have never in my life seen a pitching staff that throws so many pickoff attempts away.
And Jackson took a horrendous angle to get to that ball. I don't think it would have mattered, but still.
They've hit Porcello hard early.

Dear Ricky Porcello:
We are fully cognizant that the calendar indicates that July 4 is near. Fireworks are a nice part of this time of the year. However, the pitching mound at Comerica Park is not an acceptable location to launch such fireworks. We have plenty of other options elsewhere.
Many thanks
Detroit Tiger fans everywhere
PS This goes for you, too, Mr. Schlereth.

Dear Mr. Schlereth:
We realize that from time to time you may experience difficulties locating the general vicinity of home plate. In the event that this occurs with a runner on 2nd base, we do recommend that you do cover the plate upon commencement of launching such balls toward the backstop.
Thank you for your patronage

Suh's safety got us on the board and hopefully knocked Sanchez around a little. Now we need Stafford to get out there and lead us on some TD drives.

4-0 Mets after 1.5 innings. Coke is about as effective as crack.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version
Coke's biggest problem is that once something bad happens in an inning, he cannot recover and ends up giving up 2-3 runs minimum.
The bigger problem is, Porcello has been worse. There's 2 starters that probably going to need immediate attention soon.
It's 5-1 now. Raburn hit a bomb. Yippee.
