at least we didn't lie down on this one! We fought hard and it was well played!

Too bad they still had to pitch!

well, yeah...

oh those pesky elements of the game...

I think a new pitching coach will help. Chuck was not right for Detroit since the pitchers did worse each year!

Justin could've had a stellar year, but he changed so much since 2007!

Does anybody know the lineup for tomorrow? According to tigers.com posts, all the big names are out of the lineup except for Sheffie, still trying to hit #500....

guess this is a pre-Spring Training game?

My vote goes to Todd Jones...

That would be great! My guess is he might miss it so much he'll want to work in some capacity in baseball! Just writing about it is okay, but.....

I think writing about it is a dream, thats what I want to do when I grow up if I cant play professionally.

It was not 84 degrees at Game Time

More like 74

It hit 87 on the board during the game

More like 77


Why are the Tigers posting higher temps?
