Game #2 - Tigers 10 - Blue Jays 9

Magglio Ordonez should be shot, though the wind was probably playing havoc out there. For that reason I can forgive the bloopers that fell in, however the attempt at the sliding catch was a silly mistake. I don't know what he was thinking other than maybe playing on tilt (poker reference) given the bloopers that fell in earlier that same inning. He did make a nice grab to eventually end the inning.
Another player who gets the finger of shame is Curtis Granderson. Yeah, I'm giving the finger of shame to a player who hit a grandslam. I know it will definitely be a lesson learned for him and I'll only get pissed off if he does it again, but not scoring in the bottom of the 7th when he was on third almost turned out to be disasterous. I understand we were up 10-2 and you don't want to pile it on, but Detroit's mantra last season was "9 Innings", and he simply should have scored on the Polanco flyout.
I never have confidence when Rodney is in any ball game, he's just too inconsistant and it's been that way his whole career. Just when you think the light might have turned on and he gets it, le starts laying eggs again.
Todays game has been postposed and will be made up in September.
