Nope, Dickerson and Price call every tigers game.

Alex Avila, 3-for-41 while hobbling on bad knee last postseason, gives Tigers 3-1 lead on HR leading off bottom 5th,
The home run by Avila now matches his RBI total for each of the two series he hobbled through last year.

Is anyone listening to ESPN radio? Some idiot calling the game keeps referring to AA as OV-ula.

that;s actually how Al Avila Sr. pronounces it, in the Cuban style with a soft a.

all we're going to hear all series now is how the Umps screwed the A's.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander strikes out the side in the sixth, sitting on nine strikeouts (postseason high is 11). He's got 105 pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

Verlander now has two career playoff starts w/ 9+ Strikeouts -- matches Hal Newhouser for most by Tigers pitcher in club post-season history.

Off speed, Delmon don't do off speed, but hey he's taken a couple of pitches tonight at least!

JV has dialed it up and is dealing now.

I get that Miggy and Prince are hardly "in shape" but they are big guys...Delmon has to have put on 15-20 lbs of FAT since he was drafted.
