This game doesn't look promising for the Tigers.

He struck him out!

Former Tiger Troy Percival now pitching for the Rays.

Inge flies out. 0-4 puts his AVG to .204 for the year.

ridin' that rollercoaster!

2 more outs to go!

Tigers win!

Tigers: 7
Rays: 5

Notes: Tigers won't lose 90 games unless they lose the remaining games AND lose the make up game, IF it's played. Rays will not win 100 games Rays won't clinch today unless Bosox lose.

Tigers won?!

It was great! Maybe because the pressure was off! Santiago starred in this one!

Adios Batting Title for this year

Go :dusty: :hessman: and :rodney:

Such a difference from this time last year!!
I wonder if he is in cahoots with Chavez. Trinita says no.

Boy, that home plate ump either really likes the Rays or really hates the Red Sox. Those were some pretty crappy strike calls that inning.

Glad I watched the replay. We were a little homer-heavy but ah! who cares! we'll take the win!

I bet Leyland benches Santiago the rest of the weekend.


Get rid of Renteria


Santiago can do it all

Doug Eddings Sucks!


His trademark is always wearing a black shirt behind home plate.

Whether it is 87 degrees [ like it was today

or 37 degrees


Plus his strike zone sucks
