okay I for one am ready to get on the plane to Seattle!

Wow, look at the fantastic ERAs of today's Tiger pitchers!!!

smokin'!

Seems like Perry and Rodney can really limit runs. I think they're both in for a big year. Seay is always quietly good.

Being ahead helps


Too bad can't lower his pitch count

Then again would yank him before the 9th even if he only threw 70 pitches

They mentioned today, on the radio, that in Venezuela they do not have pitch counts and that, in the past, one Tiger Pitcher threw over 200 pitches in an extra inning game!

EEK! I just saw the replay this morning. Perry almost became Farnsworth there for a couple of pitches! Control, dude, control!
