Good job Harper!

[Danchat]

Y'know, for as flukey as Harper's pitching seems to be, guys just don't seem to be hitting him that much. I know the Tigers lineup isn't great, but they had no idea how to hit that curveball.

[Nine of twelve]

That was masterful pitching by Harper. He has earned his way to more high-leverage innings.

[Nine of twelve]

OK, boys, it's time to take hold of this game.

I'm going to Comerica to see tomorrow and Sunday's games. It will be my 9th MLB stadium. Can't wait. Let me know if any of you all have been there and what you thought.

"Hey, you can't bring duffle bags in here".

 

"It's not a duffle bag. It's a duffel bag."

 

"Oh... in that case, welcome to Target Field."

 

Another life lesson that The Far Side taught me... you're never in the wrong when the fine print is on your side...

[operation mindcrime]

[LaBombo]

Nelson Cruz... the answer to the question "What if David Ortiz were right-handed and used a Stairmaster?"

[Aggies7]

Got another two innings in ya, Taylor?

[IndianaTwin]

Boom-Stick!!!!!

I've seen baseball in Detroit but it was in Tiger Stadium back then, so my info is out of date. I found the powder blue paint job in the outfield memorable in a not-good way.

[MNT1996]

Just remembered we won't have Taylor Rodgers tonight...oh boy...

[operation mindcrime]

This is for earlier CROM!!!!!!!!

[ashbury]

Nelson Cruz... the answer to the question "What if David Ortiz were right-handed and used a Stairmaster?"

You don't know the number of times I've pondered that one during a sleepless night.

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!!!!

[MNT1996]

Marwin have a night. Wow.

[Nine of twelve]

 

OK, boys, it's time to take hold of this game.

 

 

Yeah, kind of like that!

And that!

[bighat]

What a game for Marwin!

[John Kelsey]

If you thought our bullpen was bad....

[Nine of twelve]

No, I don't care if quoting oneself is considered bad form.

The context sensitivity of powder blue's appeal approaches infinity...

Yeah Marwin!!!!!!!

[ashbury]

Finally Marwin has a RBI to show for his 4-4 efforts.

[John Kelsey]

Willians is not good.
