    I’m surprised that Don Kelly isn’t batting clean-up.

      Exactly–he’s playing 1st, and that’s where the cleanup hitter plays, who the heck made out this lineup, Gene Lamont?

    RA Dickey pitched well tonight and he doesn’t even have an ulnar collateral ligament. There’s hope for Willis.

    I wonder if Jackson is a little gun-shy and doesn’t realize it.

    Is anyone else a little uncomfortable with the June 4th promotion (behind the Mariners on deck circle).

      Felix Hernandez train night? Oh the possibilities.

        Disappointingly, fans will find that it’s just a night where before the game King Felix stretches, does a bit of long-toss, and does a couple of drills with the pitching coach

            Mom, can you make us all some grilled cheese before you put on your face cream? You promised!

                See, she said it was guys night out at Bilfer’s place. So I joked back that mom should make us grilled cheese before going to bed.

                Sigh.

    I think Figgins struck out twice while working that walk.

    Four of the following Five are current Metro Detroit headlines. Which is the impostor??
    * Kilpatrick imprisoned, faces 1½ to 5 years
    * Riddle: ‘It’s a great day to go to jail’
    * Inge: How I learned to lay off the breaking ball
    * Spokesman likens Kilpatrick sentencing to apartheid
    * Man sought in robberies of Family Dollar stores

        Oh man. I wish it were the apartheid comment. A race baiting administration to the end.

        Hey I didn’t start watching the game till the 3rd…did Inge go into the stands?

    AJax has 4 ABs in 4 innings. We’re gonna score about 5 more runs tonight.

    Verlander’s play on Ichiro’s grounder was sick.

    It’s a bit irritating being beaten by The Belligerent Board Game

    The Mariners announcers are proud of their 6th win of the month.

      Wakamatsu’s neck is on the chopping block if they don’t start winning.

    I disagree actually. Assuming things are at least somewhat as presented, Miggy made a commitment to stop with all the drinking, and be a better, more mature family man, and presumably ballplayer. By giving him the time off, the Tigers do their part to be partners in this. I think the long-term benefits of this could easily outweigh whatever effects it has on this 2-game series.

      I was beimg sarcastic, Coleman. Although, we could have used his bat.

      And, considering when she became “with child”, I’d say he’s definitely doing the right thing.
