MLB TV isn't very helpful.... they answer the phone with a real person... only to take a message to have someone call you back?? I'm confused, I was actually on the phone with someone... wouldn't it have made sense to have just helped me at that moment?

All you can do is follow on the box score huh? tata didn't do well. U of M is tied with the Mets. It is bad for Inge that he hit a homer in his on AB. That means he will be swinging for the fences for the next two weeks.

Wednesday's game will be broadcast by WXYT on Detroit radio. I'm listening to WXYT now on the internet. They might be blacked out during the game if MLB.com has the audio rights to it.

I'm not sure which of you can help me out with this, but there was a catcher in today's game named Bowen. Is that Rob Bowen that the Tigers lost somehow once before? Back then they seemed to think a lot of him as a catcher. Is it that Rob Bowen?

Oops. Now I see it is a Joe Bowen. Not the same guy.

Glad to help! During the regular season we can get WXYT on the web except during the games, pre-game and post-game shows. There is an Ohio station that was broadcasting the games on the web last year, but I had it on favorites on my old computer that died. I'm sure somebody on here knows it. HELP somebody!!!!!!!!!!!! I found it! It's WMTR in Archbold, Ohio. But I don't know if they'll be doing it this year.

Hey there!
I was at the game. It was GREAT! The grass is green. Lots of smiling faces. Hot dogs, beer, the sound of a fastball hitting a catchers mitt. It was wonderful....
