Why is Inge swinging 3-0?

Inge does not swing, he flicks his wrists.

Swinging is for mortals.

It's funny cuz that's really how he thinks.

Missed the last inning but it is great to see them pick up a couple of insurance runs. Go Tigers.

Did Leyland really put Raburn in as a....defensive...replacement...?

If he put him in for Young, well, he made the right choice.

Porcello pitched like shit yesterday, but he would have made it out of the 3rd with only giving up 1 run if he had a ML LFer out there, i.e., a LFer who doesn't stand at the warning track every pitch.

He did and we are all worried about it..

Man nothing I hate worse then when one of our pitchers saws some guys bat in half and it drops for a hit.

 

[sggatecl]

I guess I'm the only one that thought Inge got a good swing on that ball...just a bad break (no pun intended) with the bat.

Freaking Ichrio K'd with the bases loaded no outs....Darn it..

Ramon trying to get everyone killed out there tonight.

 

[jdbaker1]

Jeez, Ichiro Ks, at least they scored with the sac fly from gutierez

 

[biggunsbob]

and the next guy hit a sac fly... 3-2 M's 2 outs

 

[mjsb2]

Mariners pull ahead 3-2 in the top of the 9th.

 

[cmlfactor]

Seems like we're getting last years' Benoit for the stretch run...keeping my fingers firmly crossed...

Beasted!!!

Your to fast for me....LOL

 

[dpinsea]

The outfielders aren't used to a 2b getting out there to make that play...ps m's up 3-2

Exactly.

Benoit 8th inning, mudhen rightfield uh oh,

jaso grounds out to Santiago,

rodriguez pops up to Kelly,

joyce broken bat single to left,

damon fastball swings and misses, again, fastball outside, fly to shallow center and Santiago races out again makes the catch and collides slightly with Jackson,

Benoit last 37 appearances has a 1.89 ERA before that inning so say the rays announcers,

3 more outs,

Tigers lead 4 - 1.
