Cle won, but Baltimore lost. 4.5 games out of the division, 1 game out of 2nd WC. Gotta keep winning.
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Tyler Collins, CF
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. Victor Martinez, DH
5. J.D. Martinez, RF
6. Justin Upton, LF
7. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
8. JaCoby Jones, 3B
9. Jose Iglesias, SS
Looking forward to checking out JJ
I’m looking forward (perhaps not) to checking out how we do without Maybin.
I’m also wondering how we will do against Ranaudo and his 9.61 ERA. Perhaps we can scratch out 3 or 4 runs.
perhaps – plus given up a lot of bombs in such a small sample size
20 IN, 15 BBs and 6 HR for Ranaudo prior to tonight
An LS and U Tiger and now real Tiger at third tonight!
MIN put up 2 in top of 1st, CLE in the bottom of the 1st has a walk, double, triple & HR (obviously not in that order) and only scored one run… very DET-like
In 24 inning in the march to the playoffs Tigers have basically 3 home runs and nothing else…this is sooooo hard to watch another crap pitcher dazzle them!
Chicago bullpen no match for Jacoby Jones!
Sox starting pitch, batters hitting .188 first time thru..Batters hitting .428 third time thru…..I GUESS SO!!..worked tonight!…
Congrats Jacoby Jones..Mc Gee was ok but with only 1 rbi since being called up he was another part of the Pussycats!
We need Maybin…period!!!
I hope he uses JJ in center until Maybin is fit.

always nice to see a positive debut for a Tiger rookie – especially a rookie with some speed on the base baths
DET faces Sale his afternoon – and CLE plays the Twinkies – so back to that reality…
Norman, as you know the Twinkies have given the Indians all they can handle in their current series so we need to keep winning. I still say we should wear our retro uniforms to see if Sale gets rattled.
the odds against Sale got a little worse – Cabrera not in the lineup today because of ‘a flair up in his surgically repaired ankle’
…which means JV may have to throw a shutout today

The sloppiness of our broadcast team amazes me. Today in the pre-game the went on a totally fabricated and/or poorly researched story on how hard it would be for Jacoby Jones to transition to the outfield. It made it sound like he’s never played there. Don’t they research anything? JJ played 57 games in CF in Toledo and has been their CF until the call up. He also had 20+ games in CF at Erie. Where do they get their info? I have always thought that a new manager should be a priority for next year. Replacing the entire TV staff might also be a good move.
