It's on mlb.tv's radio - the Blue Jays announcers are doing it. No Tigers announcer is doing it though.

Vernon Wells:

Ball (first one so far), foul, called strike, foul, 6-3.

1-2-3 and Verlander is 3 outs away from a perfect* game.

Obviously it isn't a real perfect game but if you're only going to pitch 2 inning, 2 perfect innings is as perfect as you can get.

I got MLB radio last year... best 14 dollars I have ever spent, especially going to school in Indiana, I bumped up to MLB TV, so I'm watchin Santana get lit up while listening to the tigers.

Santana just gave up a 3 run HR in the first inning!

4-0 but here are the bad things from What little I can gather from gameday.

1 We scored 3 runs, but left 18 on base.
2 We have now saw I think 5 rookie cathers now(Skelton, Ryan, Trzesniak, St pierre, and I believe another one.) That gets me worried that Wilson is worse of than we thought. This is soldifing my belief that Inge will never catch for us again.

Things that was good

1 Porcello going 6 up 6 down.
2 Raburn fighting to make the roster with the 3 for 3 performance.
3 only 1 pitcher gave up a walk (Beltran but he had 3 Walks in 2 innings)

When only 3 score its not that hard at least to me. Its just ST, but that is something that can kill a good offense.
