I swear I'm getting a contact high just from looking at that photo. Good times, good friends.

Pretty sure the guy on the right is the "horse tooth" guy from the game thread a few days ago.

Drew Smyly, LHP vs. Bruce Chen, LHP

These photos are by Tom Hagerty and all these guys are people he knew back then, from what I can tell. Tom is the the same photographer that took most of the photos I used in the Spring Training threads as well. He's been a brilliant photographer for a long time. Every time I see a perfect photograph he is usually responsible for it. Just amazing work.

Wings on two networks already but FSN bumping the Tigers to do a 3rd feed. Grrrrrr.........

Did I hear during the last Sox game that Chris Sale is from Lakeland?

Well, I can't say for sure whether you heard it, but it was indeed said.

I'll trade a Tigers win for a Wings win tomorrow

That he is! 2007 class I believe. Also pitched for Florida Gulf Coast University where he was 11-0 before he was drafted.

wanting the wins isn't the issue, it's the need to be able to switch back and forth and watch both!

Unfortunately I have to work and will miss both

Does he know we're using them? He might be flattered.

Wait, so they are moving the game to FSD plus or what do you mean?

Don't worry. The Wings won't be playing much longer.

Blasphemy!

The Tiger game is on Fox Sports Detroit Plus

I love the tube socks he is wearing.

[Jeff6851]

Blasphemy!

It's the other way around when the Tigers are in the playoffs :D

[IdahoBert]

He does, through Roger.

[John_Brian_K]

The dude on the right looks SUPER creepy.

[KleShreen]

FWIW - I'm only 24, but I own that exact same Big Bird stuffed animal the guy in the back is holding. Still in my "kid's box" back home.

[KleShreen]

Tuesday's #tigers lineup: AJax CF, Boesch RF, Cabrera 3B, Fielder 1B, Young LF, Avila C, Raburn 2B, Santiago SS, Dirks DH; Smyly LHP

Umm...Dirks DH'ing...Delmon in LF...got it.

[lesgoblu02]

Gotta keep your superstars happy.

[Vonlenska]

I didn't have FSD+ last sports season, thankfully do now.

[MC24]

No Peralta? What the heck?

Jhonny is a lifetime .111 hitter off Bruce Chen.

Jackson is a career .133 hitter vs Chen. Why isn't he sitting?

[Antrat]

From a Gage tweet:
Inge on strikeouts: "Such an over-rated stat, such a stupid stat. You won't hit the ball with any authority if you worry about K's."

I can live with Santiago at shortstop on the 11th game of the season. I'd be more upset with Kelly at CF on the 11th game of the season.

"Oh so NOW we don't care!" responds Jackson.

I'm upset with either starting in the 11th game of the season. There is no reason to give Peralta a day off this early in the season.

Leyland: Peralta not in the lineup tonight because he is 2-18 vs Chen.

[diaspora04]

Peralta has had a hot bat, which argues in favor of him playing tonight. That said, I am not too bothered by him resting an being available off the bench.

[MC24]

If that is why he is sitting then I am a little confused as to why Jackson is playing.

[Charles Liston]

Bruce Chen is like the dead guy at the end of an opera who sits up and starts singing again.
