Al Al had a bad bad inning, but at the same time, we've got to start getting more than 5 innings out of our starters. We could have 4 Mariano Riveras in the pen, and we're still going to have problems if we've got to run to the pen in the 6th inning every night.

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.

"The Tigers struck out 21 times on Wednesday night and won?
They also set a major-league record by striking out 37 times in the last two games — yet won both?
Correct on all three counts."

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.
Catching the Angels at a good time, too.
