This game sucked; Glad I was busy doing stuff with friends earlier tonight and chatting online with that woman I met before I got banned

I didn't watch much of the game or the replay



Tigers totally sucked

Another thing that sucks


I like how the Umpires wore light blue shirts the first three games in Fenway

And I bet they will wear em again on Thursday

But that never happens at Comerica


Umpires haven't worn the light blue shirts 3 times in the last month at Comerica; let alone in one series
