The Tigers are 0-4 when allowing less than 3 runs in the 2nd half, after going 24-1 in the 1st half...

that sucks,

DD, PLEASE GET US SOME NEW BATTERS, and is NOT ENOUGH!!!

It was 77 degrees at the end of the game; The sun came out and heated things up; I had a feeling it would; So I sat in Section 329 last row [ in the shade] with my friend Doug; lot of empty seats in the upper deck; hope it like that for Game 1 against the Sox.

I saw Catbox before the game;


Hope he enjoyed Comerica Park

Too bad the Tigers lost;


They better win at least two games from Chicago this weekend
