Wow, this is just one of those strange games. Unlucky, but lucky.

Yeah, not feeling very comfortable with this lead.

Yeah, not feeling very comfortable with this lead.

Once again, I am a little slow on the draw, but I am feeling much better now thanks to Vmart.

 

[tycobb420]

an Avila hit should seal it

Tigers 7th inning,

Raburn takes curve low, again, strike call, chases some crap low, grounder past third single,

Lester Oliveros and perkins warming up for twins,

Cringe with a sacrifice bunt and Raburn to second, give him another 2 year extension,

Jackson takes curve low, strike call, fastball inside, fouled down right, fastball inside full count, changeup fouled back, inside for a walk,

Coke now warming up,

pitching coach out to talk/stall, come on ump,

Maggs off the corner strike call, fastball outside corner grounder to right single bases loaded,pinch runner is Santiago,

pitcher out with 91 pitches, perkins in,

Young first pitch grounder down third is fair and run scores and safe at third,

Tigers lead 3 - 1,

Cabrera swings and misses a fastball, fastball fouled back at 96, another fouled off, again, in the dirt small backstop bounces back no advance, check swing no but he's called out on a suck call, fu ump,

Martinez changeup outside, fastball low, lined to the wall in left center for a double and two runs score,

Tigers lead 5 - 1,

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

second and third,

Avila takes a fastball low, fastball swings and misses, grounder to second,

Tigers bust it open enough to breath easier,

Tigers lead 5 - 1.

curses!

 

[spockmaster]

thats a bit better.

 

[tigers99888]

I thought V-Mart was a decent signing.. I figured he would be on track to hit .300 and drive in 70 runs but man, he's having a career year as far as BA goes.. WOW!!

 

[tycobb420]

Curses as in Avila did not bust it open

 

[kalinecountry]

I'm really thinking he ain't going to be getting his 100 RBI's this year.

I blame Leyland for all the times players with less than .300 obp batting in the top three spots, but still Cabrera's homeruns are down.

 

[tycobb420]

Let's cut that magic number down some

 

[tycobb420]

Sox and M's are underway

 

[tigers99888]

Walks aside.. Porcello has a decent line going..

Walks aside.. Porcello has a decent line going..

It's deceptive though, because look at the lineup he faced.

And even then he was not sharp.

 

[MalFunkShun]

Kiss of death right there showing bullpen stats...

Coke throws more pitches a week in the bullpen then he ever did as a Starter.
