Need a rally cap from the onset. Lets go.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's 4 HR for Ronny, 1 for Miggy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Back to back after Dixon's long ball 2-0.

 

[Mitchrapp]

2-1 after 2.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Anyone remember the movie Major League when Wesley Snipes character had to do pushups any time he hit the ball in the air? That's what we need with Jones. Hit it on the stupid ground, jeez.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Turnbull throwing a lot of pitches.. Bases full now after back to back walks B3.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Gardi tossed. About freakin' time.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yay, GB. 63 pitches after 3.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Another Ronny Bomb, 3-1.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nasty pitch. After 4, 3-1 83 pitches.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Turnbull needed that inning. 3-1 after 5.

 

[manchild98]

RR finding the seats today. At least the 3 run offense showed up so far today. 3 solo shots.

Before todays game we had scored 121 runs in 35 games. The F'in Marlins have only scored 104 runs in 38 games.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I generally don't complain about the ump but he stinks.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh well . 3-2, RP coming in.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Jones you suck.

Nick Castellanos opens up about his lame-duck status with Tigers: 'It's uneasy'.

This story tells me that Chris Ilitch wants 24 players making less than a million per year and Miggy makes $25M. Yeah, Zimmersucks well he will be gone asap too.
This was the mandate that stupid Al Avila had when he said "we are open for business", to wit, sell off every high priced player.
I will believe if I/we see them do anything in the next 2/3 years when the good young pitchers come up and if they do any signing of position players in FA.
Because God knows they have little if any impact position player bats in the system.

Tigers activate Hardy, call up Gregory Soto.
Lefty reliever still managing tendinitis in elbow; Soto to start nightcap Saturday.

Tigers? Drew VerHagen sent to Toledo after clearing waivers. Good place for him.

Extra base hits all around lil Miggy and he goes 0-4
