Even with the Tigers woes, this is a great day for Detroit sports fans.

The team is sick, but it’s just a chemical imbalance. Nothing serious.

Be Advised…another sweep by the Twins is on the way….no pitching, no offense..after a great series of that….this team is just sick….

Be advised you need to relax. Good grief, they lost a game, that doesn’t mean they automatically get swept.

Also, I’d argue that this isn’t just Galarrag’s first bad start, he was showing signs of returning to earth in Arizona (5 BB’s, twice the amount of flyballs than groundballs) and he was roughed up by the Red Sox (could give him a pass for that).

Optimistically:

the one bad outing for Armando Galarraga for 2 more starts. Tigers hit the hell outta the ball the last two games, so it’ll take them some time to reload(Much like the Braves after killing the mets in their 4 game set, they sucked tonight with a 11-1 lose)
Willis hit the strike zone. And Pudge did some good.

The Ugly:

Armando was just really horrible tonight. Tigers were only playing for an inning tonight,(like they have for the last 4 games scoring a lot or all of their runs in one inning.). Willis goes one, but allows one run UGH. And yea our lefties are out for tomorrows game more then likely.

So there you guy got my side of tonights game both bad and good. Brenden is more the likely right but Ill stay on the optimistic side for a little while longer. I say 1-2 in the three game set. With a big outing for Verlander on Sunday.

Lets not get carried away with the “great” series we had against the M’s. Seattle ran out Carlos Silva, Jarrod Washburn, and Miguel Batista all while batting Jose Lopez 3rd. The M’s are terrible.

Leyland will get thrown out of the game early tomorrow so he can catch the Wings and Pistons games on T.V.

Well, you did what you could, then. NOW it’s time to fire Leyland and trade Guillen. DFA Cabrera, too. And Raburn to the DL!*

* He popped out. Glory days are over.

You know, I get the impression something’s up with defense when I can’t follow a game without seeing at least 2 “infield singles” and virtually any ground ball with a man on first netting only one out. That’s not intended to be funny. Weak defense just seems like such a strong subtext in so many games, even when other failures are more obvious. Am I wrong? This aspect of play seems like a “chronic fatigue” that is just dogging this team relentlessly.

Bad calls at the plate tonight, huh? Well, that’s a drag, but from my seen through a glass darkly perspective, there were enough poor at-bats to take away that excuse.

Armando pulled 6 despite the horrendous 2nd. That’s a silver lining, I guess.

Dave BW, just got home and I could not have said it better. The fireworks were good, though.

Sean, I did indeed have a cheeseburger. I give up!!

Western Tanager, very nice (yet to see one myself). But you must get rid of the bird at once, or surely more losses to the Twins will follow. My Eurasian Wigeon brought home the Seattle series and is now gone. It’s all on cib now, and she must have gone off the cheeseburgers tonight.

A bit verbose there, Dave. Could you just summarize?

Ha! You’re right, that post does look a bit drunk. I had a lot stored up for that inning, typing fast to get it in, knowing that I was probably so much more out of sync by then because of that hangup I experienced with Young batting (1-2 count) with 2 on and 2 out for the Twins in the top half. No TV, dial-up connection – I might as well be on the moon. Or live at work.

That out of sync quality annoys ME, reading through. A failed experiment. And I’m 5-3 now, too. Sinking fast.
