With a runner on third, that was especially bad since if you draw a throw, there is always the chance for the unexpected. I made a mental note about Inge not running on the dropped third strike, too.

Inge- ok its really in his head now. Not running on the dropped 3rd strike was bad. and his bat throwing in the 12th, not a good sign. I was also going to comment on just how many check swings he is taking! C'mon buddy, snap out of it! Rodney had a good outing, which I was glad to see. Craig- He country strong!

Better in my book to be playing poorly with a better record than you deserve than to be playing well with a worse record than you deserve. Off to Toronto this afternoon to see the Tigers play Saturday. A great year for a spring trip to see baseball under a dome . . . Good points, Mr. Smith.

The Tigers are 5-3 and could EASILY be 1-7. 2. Robertson and Verlander look awesome so far. 3. Granderson & Polanco... maybe Pudge The Bad News: 1. The Tigers could easily be 1-7 2. Verlander has an ERA of 0.00 through 13+ innings and no recorded win yet. Huh? 3. Everybody else except Granderson & Polanco ... except maybe Pudge Toronto will not lay down as easily as KC and Baltimore... need to start firing on more cylinders if we hope to at least split this series The Good News thru the first eight games:

1. The Tigers are 5-3 and could EASILY be 1-7.

3. Granderson & Polanco… maybe Pudge

Thanks Craig, we needed that hit. Hopefullly all the baserunners are an indication that the offense is coming around. All we need is some more big hits. I forsesee a good start in Toronto tomorrow nite... P.S. Somebody get Inge a beer or something. he looks like he's ready to kill someone. Ok, so what’d I miss?

We have Grilli available as well tomorrow night. If Maroth struggles, and against that Toronto line up it is very possible, then we can probably expect Grilli to pitch for 2-3 innings. I am just not sure if that is necessarily a good thing. Here is to hoping Maroth takes his Frank Tanana Crafty Pills and gives us a solid 6 and 2/3rds.... Bilfer,

Makes my dream prediction wrong. But hey, I DID dream about them winning by three or more. And I got Inge's first hit. So put that in the books, Billfer.

Hmm, 5 Tiger victories, 5 saves for Jones. There's a connection in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to figure it out now. Wow, what a marathon. Great win Tigs. So Jonesy DID get the save.
