Tigers vs. redsox Game Thread April 5

Always a treat to see Al Kaline. Thrilled that he never followed through on plan to retire 10 years ago. Now in 60th year with Tigers.
Kaline: "As long as I feel I can go to the park and not feel I'm getting in the way, I'll keep [working]."

AJax with a hit!

DP on Boesch. Boo!

 

[Monster]

damn it boesch!

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers batting 1st inning,

Jackson takes the first pitch cutter and lines a single to left center, great,

Boesch first pitch grounder to third and a 5 / 4 / 3 dp,

Cabrera takes a low strike, fastball outside, broken bat liner to third,

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Miggy lines out. What was that 3-4 pitches? Geez. All made good contact if there's a silver lining for the quick inning.

At least AJax got a hit. He is incredibly streaky so it would be awesome if he started the season out hot.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Pig Sloppy doubles down the line.

It was one swing.

 

[spockmaster]

Verlander's control looks a little off today.

 

[theTutor]

It was one swing.

[kingofdetroit57]

Got out of the inning without giving up the run. Nice job.

Need the admin to fix this forum to add a tool to make a backwards K, that would be cool.

 

[Monster]

and prince with his first hit!

 

[Thumb]

Damn, Delmon needs to bat 7th so we dont get doubled up so much.

 

[spockmaster]

and this is why hitting young high in the lineup is a BAD idea. fucking double plays...
