[biggunsbob]

Just heard is was AJ?s 6th no hitter in his career as a manager. Ties him for second place.

Tampa Bay has lost 7 in a row and are still 22 games over .500. (57-35)
Baltimore has closed within 2 games of first.

Man Monroe tried to jinx it so many times. Glad he didn?t !

I appreciate the broadcast from the players Jones, Petry, even Craig. Love the players broadcast and Jones was really emotional after the game. Baseball is so hard and we all want so badly for the Tigers to be good again. Maybe we are getting a tad closer. Man just some hitting and we could snag this really bad division.

There's a Godfather riff in here somewhere, but it would be wasted on this group. No one picked up on this one, after all

Anyway, I'm thinking either Carlo on the phone or Pentangeli testifying before the Senate. Chances are that 1 in 15 regulars here even know what the hell I'm talking about.
You being among them.

I didn't realize we had to post to prove "we got it."

We live in Michigan now. You know that

Tigers right-hander Matt Manning through 6 2/3 hitless innings yesterday, combining with Jason Foley and Alex Lange to throw the ninth no-hitter in franchise history.
While the decision to pull a starter in the midst of a no-hitter is always a controversial one, manager A.J. Hinch shed additional light on the decision following yesterday?s game, noting to reporters that Manning had been struggling through the outing and was evaluated by team trainers between each inning.
Manning expanded on Hinch?s comments, noting that he tweaked his side during the second inning. Fortunately, it appears Manning avoided a more serious injury, and the 25-year-old hurler will have the opportunity to rest during the All Star break ahead of the second half.

Is this kid ever going to stay healthy? Looks like he avoided what sounded like a lat strain?

Matt Manning, Jason Foley and Alex Lange chipped in and bought Eric Haase a beautiful Cartier watch as a gift for catching their no-hitter. Tradition lives on.
