I agree. Though a sweep would be nice. Let's just actually win a series.

Note: Dontrelle Willis has a hyper extended right knee after slipping on the mound in the 1st inning.

Aquillino Lopez has replaced him, he gave up 2 runs in the 2nd inning, Chicago leads 2-0.

Inge drives in his 9th RBI of the season which is among the most in the league, tigers down by 1 now. It's a Chicago 2-1 run.

...he knocks in two, they take the lead 3-2, 2 on base still.

Dontrelle injured? Ugh.

Oh well, at least we have a lead.

Yeah, he was able to stick in the game but threw terrible pitches then was taking out though it says that he said he's O.K on the other hand Lopez has been lights out other then that 2nd inning, he's retired 5 in a row now and counting.

Good stuff. This is the sort of win you wanna see from this team as they work on their recovery.

Some early issues with losing a pitcher and a few runs, but we scored when we needed to and the relievers came through.

down 4-0 bottem of 8th...we're being shutout for 3rd time this season, last year, we were only shut out 3 times.

5-0 lead now...

m23uza1hem36 · Post #17 » by **m23uza1hem36** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:20 pm

We're also being 1-hit,.

Verlander goes 8 innings, doesn't bother the bullpen, allows only 1 run, our offense can't score, now 6-run inning for Beltran from the bullpen, down 7-0 now.

m23uza1hem36 · Post #19 » by **m23uza1hem36** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:30 pm

NOTE: Carlos Guillen, 1B did not play in this game due to a mild hamstring strain.

Post #20 » by **Snakebites** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:04 pm

Wow, just wow.

A really good outing for one of our starters and it all gets blown away by the impotency of the offense and the ineptitude of the bullpen, and the fact that Verlander blew the outing at the end.

You can't blame all of this one injuries, either. And even if you could, theres no way to guarantee thats gonna get better.
