You seen the prediction here first! LOL

**tigersrok** · 05-01-2012, 07:29 PM

Finally the vaunted Tiger offense shows up.

**PuNk42AE** · 05-01-2012, 07:33 PM

Nice play there by Kelly

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 07:34 PM

Good thing Young is suspended

**Antrat** · 05-01-2012, 07:35 PM

Nothing like the Royals to fix a slump.

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 07:37 PM

Jackson looking good tonight. Shoots another up the middle

**jackson_cannery** · 05-01-2012, 07:37 PM

I cannot express how happy it makes me when Jackson leads off an inning with a sharp line drive up the middle.

**Big Frame** · 05-01-2012, 07:37 PM

that Jackson hit reminded me of another Jackson hit today.

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 07:43 PM

Nice job Jackson! He needs to run more

Are you comparing the Royals to the fat chick at the bar?

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 07:44 PM

One of Miggy's ugliest ABs I have ever seen

**clark1mt** · 05-01-2012, 07:54 PM

Guy in the seats behind the plate with a bright yellow shirt that says "Inge Sucks". You're about a week too late, buddy.

**CapitalTigers** · 05-01-2012, 07:57 PM

I think I just saw Vmart in dugout!

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 08:00 PM

Back to back walks for Avila and Peralta. Good start to the 3rd.

**Shelton** · 05-01-2012, 08:00 PM

Who's winning?

**PuNk42AE** · 05-01-2012, 08:00 PM

Wow 8 straight balls, I feel like we're watching one of our pitchers!

**Yoda** · 05-01-2012, 08:01 PM

His control is toast.

8 straight balls... 2 on, 0 out.

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 08:02 PM

Just gave away an out with Kelly up next. Smh.

**pyrotigers** · 05-01-2012, 08:02 PM

I can't believe they're leaving Hochevar in

I also can't believe that up 5-0 coming off 8 straight balls Jim Leyland called for the bunt

**Yoda** · 05-01-2012, 08:03 PM

Nice bunt Ramon...

Avila forced out at 3rd.

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 08:04 PM

Jackson is on fire!! 2 run double!! 8-0

**copper95b** · 05-01-2012, 08:04 PM

Damn it feels good to be a Tiger!

**PuNk42AE** · 05-01-2012, 08:04 PM

Wow AJax get's locked in some games, 3-3 now

**MC24** · 05-01-2012, 08:04 PM

**Yoda** · 05-01-2012, 08:05 PM

Wow.. they're killing the ball.

**kdog** · 05-01-2012, 08:05 PM

Alright what are supposed to make of Jackson right now?

**Shelton** · 05-01-2012, 08:06 PM

Ajax will go 7-7 tonight.

**robgrave** · 05-01-2012, 08:06 PM

Jackson to Shelton:
How ya like me now, fella?

We had better remember how to play the dang sport by that time.

How far of a drive is that?

Victor in uniform on the bench in the dugout. No WONDER we're up by 8.

Just a miserable old coot.

Yeah, I don't like him and I really think we would have better seasons if he were replaced. Finding the right replacement is the key. While I want Brookens, his inexperience worries me. Just my opinion, as usual. Feel free to disagree.

Francona? That would be a dream!

His record when he had quality players in Boston?

Boston Red Sox 8 years games;1296 Wins;744 Losses:552 Winning %.574
2 Pennants and 2 World Series Titles

I like smokes and Francona was woring with a top 3 payroll every year. The tigers have been up there, but not consistently

Still not that much.

They said they were trying to get him to lengthen out his throw by getting the ball further behind him at the start of the throw. Velocity was supposed to follow from that.

6 hours with traffic. 5 and some change if I drive fast and leave at night. Worth it though. I don't know how else I'll get to see them besides the series against the angels in September.
