I have wagered another 600 on the Tigers today to win 500.... GO TIGERS.

Won yesterday...letting it ride. I see the Tigers are playing their regulars, if at least for an inning or so.

Prediction: 7-2 Tigers.

Yeah we will. They'll forget about Inge's error in the OF yesterday.

For what it's worth an error in the OF is more pathetic than one in the IF. IFers make far more errors than OFers.

I had gameday last year. I click on the green gameday icon and nothing happens. This is a different computer from last year. Is it possible the computer is not allowing it?

OK. TEAM total errors 162! I did see Cabrera was tied for 2nd in most E's in the NL last year.

Hmmm...The only thing I can think of is that you have a popup blocker on preventing it from opening. Try turning off your popup blocker and see if that works.
