I give up on that game. It's not all that fun and it just pisses me off

Rodney is our new closer....

I'm listening only so I can put updates... I'm reading at the same time. But the Rodney information is interesting,

Zumaya hurt.

Rodney coming in

According to announcers Jones is still on the team but he will be used much less.

Turns out Zumaya hurt his shoulder

That's what I meant. Hopefully that's the truth

He was due to get hurt. No surprise there.

Are you praying that he is used less or praying that he stays on the team?

He seemed to be arguing about whether to be taken out.... so He probably isn't that bad.

WHEN DID MATT COME IN THIS GAME?!?! I think I missed that.... He is in LF now.

Used less. I could care less about the other part

This inning I think. He's replacing Thames defensively.

haha. Okay, then you can tell him... and I hope I'm not around because he is going to be very.... angry.

Come on tigers....

2 runs score. 6 - 4.

A homerun and they take the lead for the first time today.

I'll just tell him the truth, Jones is terrible. His numbers all say he's arguably the worst closer in baseball. Saves mean very little as any ML-caliber pitcher will give up 0 runs more often than not. Closers only need to go 1 inning (or less sometimes) and get leads as big as 3 runs. I mean you have to really be awful to blow a 3 run lead in an inning and I can remember Jones doing it several times in key games.
