Can't believe Kelly was one of the callups. Ugh. Is he really THAT much better defensively?

Jimmy has a soft spot for Kelly. Didn't he cry when Kelly got sent down earlier this season? lol

Tigers hitting 8th inning,

Jackson line drive to left center all the way to the wall and it's a triple Austin's 10th, that sets or ties some Tigers record, and he leads the AL, and 3 triples for Tigers tonight first time by Tigers since 8/30/08 vs. KC,

Boesch check swing strikes out,

Cabrera fouls it back, again, takes fastball low and away, low again, ground foul past third, foul sliced down right, fouled back, soft fly to right and it drops in for an rbi single and Jackson scores, Miggy now batting .332 with 111 rbi,

Tigers lead 5 - 0,

new pitcher heath,

Tigers lead 5 - 0 going to the top of the 9th,

 

[kalinecountry]

Scherzer: 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 K. 113 pitches, 80 strikes.

 

[kalinecountry]

Miguel Cabrera's 3 hits up his average to .332 -- would be 1st Tigers player to hit .330+ in back-to-back years since George Kell in '49-'50.

 

[servinthed]

Lol Pierzynski all pissed off after Valverde struck him out. Sit down pussy.
