JV made it interesting again but went the distance. Hitting 100 when he is over 130 pitches is incredible

I was screaming to get him out in the 9th, thought he had lost his control, then he gets a bases juiced strikeout to win the game.

What a ride, I was worried he would lose another game in the 9th, but then I remembered he is not human. What really gets me is how smooth he looks throwing triple digits, as opposed to Zumaya (sp?) who had the most violent release ever.

We got clobbered by the Rangers. Although Verlander's continued success and Smyly's outing were nice to see.

I didn't know Smyly had that strikeout ability, so that was very positive. Texas is real good, so not a huge deal to lose a few

Man, that last game pissed me off.

And jeez the Rangers are good. Too much pitching, too much everything....

[ajaX82]

Colin Balester suuuuucks

[Snakebites]

Come on, Fielder. Average and OBP are solid, but we sure didn't pay you 200 million to be a singles guy.

[ajaX82]

oh Delmon I thought your stupid days were past...

[m23uza1hem36]

JV struggled. 10-10 now, 7 losses in the last 8. Not going to lie, though we'd be at least + throughout the year.

[Snakebites]

Disappointing start. There's no way around that.

11-11 doesn't even tell the story properly, though that would be disappointing enough. We started out well and have gone a horrific 2-8 in our last 10. Something needs to change and it needs to happen now.

[Manocad]

Wow. Considering that 100 wins, which equals a 61.7% winning percentage, is a high water mark, the Tigers would be 14-8 to be on track for a high water mark. Point being, after 22 of 162 games they're 3 wins short of where you should expect them to be as a "high water mark" team.

CHIIIIILLLLL...

Bad loss tonight. Dotel blew the save and it was not pretty.

[Lionlifer]

Interesting game last night, I don't think I've ever seen JV so riled up. The umps were killing me with the calls, I've never seen so many strikes god down as balls in a single game, it was madness.

at least we got the win though

[ajaX82]

Another dumb loss tonight. Leyland over-managing as per the norm.

Something that I was thinking about tonight is Cabby at third....for such a big offseason story, its gone as good as anyone could have hoped. Nothing spectacular, but man he has been solid there. And he's playing there all the time...has he even DH'd or been removed for Kelly or someone yet?

Alot of frustrations with the team right now, but the third experiment has been a rousing success
