I don't mind Kelly. Though I'm still not quite over that dropped ball in the Metrodome.

That's not that uncommon. Weather is still iffy in the midwest this time of year, so they'll take the warmth of natural daylight as much as possible.

Really? When was the last time the Tigers played in 7 straight day games? I'd bet you that it is, indeed, pretty uncommon...

**TigersSlappy** · 04-09-2010, 11:09 AM

Well since no one has said it yet, I will.

MUST WIN!!!

**kdog** · 04-09-2010, 11:12 AM

They also want to avoid TV conflicts like Wednesday. If the Pistons and Red Wings were in the playoffs, it would be a nightmare early in the season. Weekday games give you clear tv windows.

**Antrat** · 04-09-2010, 11:14 AM

I didn't realize that Scherzer had a no-hitter going into the 6th.
Wouldn't that have been silly if he had pitched a no-hitter and we missed most of it because of the Pistons.

**Antrat** · 04-09-2010, 11:18 AM

I saw Coke and Scherzer being interviewed this morning. Both seem to have pretty cool personalities. They seemed very happy to be Tigers.
I was impressed.

No hitters are tough because you are not allowed to talk about i t ---

I wondered what they would doif he continued with the no-no so early in the season

and I am sure they didn't mention it in the Piston game ---"He you ought to tune into Detroit, history in the making"

**FloridaTigers** · 04-09-2010, 11:32 AM

Some White Sox fans say Cabrera is getting fatter. What say you all?

**will the thrill** · 04-09-2010, 11:33 AM

I say he can get as fat as he wants if he keeps hitting .550

I'll start getting concerned when he gets as fat as Hawk Harrelson's head.

He's using a new undetectable steroid called Carl's Jr.

They should sell Irish Coffee

**IdahoBert** · 04-09-2010, 12:00 PM

Not that it means a lot this year, but according to billfer, "Porcello faced the Indians 4 times last year and went 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA over 25 innings."

Game 2010.004: Indians at Tigers

Hey if he stays on this tear I don't care if he starts looking like an offensive lineman.

**lordstanley** · 04-09-2010, 12:17 PM

So what time is the "2009 AL Central 162-game Co-Champion" banner being raised?

**Kdoogie24** · 04-09-2010, 12:24 PM

day off school + free MLBtv Preview = a happy KD24

Not to mention --- from the radio version -- it seems Miguel has been pretty good defensively

**Titus Tiger** · 04-09-2010, 12:52 PM

Have anyone figured out how to get mlb audio to start when the pre-game audio
right now I have the browser waiting

and listening to the radio feed with iTunes --- one will eventually be blocked, but I should be able to hear this via mlb.

edit: just hit refresh on the browser and it is playing

it is misleading to see "audio will start when game begins" and know it should be playing

**Porcelain God** · 04-09-2010, 12:54 PM

I'm expecting a very big day from my AAT. Go Tigers!

**Antrat** · 04-09-2010, 12:58 PM

Lordy. Who the heck was that horrible singer?

**Vonlenska** · 04-09-2010, 12:59 PM

This guy singing the national anthem is kind of :/

**Antrat** · 04-09-2010, 01:01 PM

Was L.L. Cool J already booked?

**Kdoogie24** · 04-09-2010, 01:06 PM

can anyone point me in the direction of a good radio stream? Cleveland feed is showing on the MLBtv feed, and 97.1's website wont let me stream from Canada.

**Porcelain God** · 04-09-2010, 01:10 PM

K

**Porcelain God** · 04-09-2010, 01:11 PM

oops sorry

**Titus Tiger** · 04-09-2010, 01:12 PM

Porcello K

Keep rolling Rick,

Laird throws out his first baserunner

two outs yeah baby

**rube** · 04-09-2010, 01:13 PM

Good to see Laird woke up from his three-game nap and actually did something.
Getting that ball from glove to hand is always tough for a pro catcher.

**rube** · 04-09-2010, 01:13 PM

Wooo that pitch was tailing -- great start for the kid.

**EchO** · 04-09-2010, 01:14 PM

I have Sizemore AND Choo on my fantasy team but I hope to God they both strike out 4 times each. (Or we are blowing Cleveland out and they both hit 2 HRs each) :-D

**hammb** · 04-09-2010, 01:14 PM

Another K for Rick. I expect that his K numbers will rise this year. I would not be at all surprised for Porcello & Verlander to be the best 1-2 in the AL this year, and the next 5.

**diaspora04** · 04-09-2010, 01:14 PM

Porcello looks tough today.

**Titus Tiger** · 04-09-2010, 01:14 PM

wow

Two K's in the first inning

**Kdoogie24** · 04-09-2010, 01:14 PM

The Defense looks sharp

I'd suggest signing up at MLB for the radio package. Either $14.95 or $19.95, I forget which, but for the entire season. So it's a reliable and cheap. Works out to around a dime a game even if you only listened to the Tigers.

I am hoping the K numbers climb in April, but the rest of the season the first pitch ground outs to take over

Be good to see those guys in the All-Star game
