If the Tigers don't rough up this nobody KC has pitching for them today, Kevin Duckworth, it will be very disapointing. I don't mean to trash KC, but this should be no contest.

They should win the rubber match. I can't stand the thought of them losing an early season series to KC.
Duckworth? Come on, they'd better hit him around.

Tigers carved up in the 1st. Go down 1-2-3. Sheff stood there like the house by the side of the road.

Still a better start than opening day, but Bondo gives up the lead as has become the norm with a HR to Teahen.

Bonderman is pitching pretty well, his slider is on. However he is trying to be too perfect. This is because the offense is absolutely horrible. One hit against a scrub pitcher. pathetic.

Yeah, but when a manager decides who hes going to play he decides on who the better player is right now, not how he did in his career. Neifi for the tigers last year batted .200, and Inge batted .253.

Whew! Reminds me of last year a little with the late inning heroics. High fives to Maggs for starting off the ninth with a double, to Guillen for working a walk, and of course to Pudge for knocking one out for the win.

I'l just say this - the word is patience. Hitters have to be patient at the plate and the pitchers have to think a little about their pitches on the mound.
Just stay at .500....that's possible. It's not possible to maintain what the Twins are doing all season, law of averages.
Go Tigers!!!

Why doesn`t Ordonez drive the ball to right and right center more often? He did a lot of that in Chicago. At least try it more when he is behind in the count.
