I like Granderson a lot better in CF than Inge

Get well soon! Faster than soon!

Homerun Sheff. Good job.

Come on Tigers!

2 - 0 tigers at the top of the second.

Sure hope we hear how Curtis is doing...he said he wasn't hurt very much yesterday!

Magglio is really doing awful in ST. I hate to say it but his head does not seem to be in the game. *sigh*

Oh God... I hope he doesn't have a bad year. I hope he can get it together before we get into the real season.... I don't think we can make it anywhere this season w/o him

Going to the bottom of the second. Still 2 - 0 tigers

Wish it could be different. I was just glad to see him hit that HR against the Astros before the game was rained out. Since then...ground out...pop out...hardly ever gets on base. Geez! we need that hitting power! (and sheffie did great on his HR today!)

I think he will get back into the 'swing' of things once we get to the regular season. I hope so. I have faith in him though..

Where is everyone? I know it's easter, but the tigers are on!

Going to the bottom of the third. Score remains the same.

LETS GO TIGERS

Now Al Avila, one of the higher ups, said Curtis broke a bone in his right hand...out 2 weeks! Holy Crap! this is not good!

hi just got home from church

Grandy has a broken bone in his hand, out for 2 weeks!

These guys are hitting the same chopper-type hits always to 3B! What hell?!?!?!?

They're saying at least 8 games out for Curtis. Ugh. Clouds are darkening my outlook again!

Now you see why Leland said they are not ready for the season

I know it's sad. at least it is the beginning of the season though

Hope Byrdak does better today!

They are lacking some unifying force or shared outlook or SOMETHING...they are just not performing as a TEAM...

and of course, now I have to go to work!

On easter??? Sorry to hear that.

Well, I think they got too many new guys in one year! We may not see them gell right away, but the should be a force for many years to come!

Two on one out Martinez batting in top of 4th

AWESOME out at third!!!

out at third!!!!!!! good throw pudge to Miggy!

Byrd walks batter
