Even though it had only been two losses, with the big E-Rod and Greene injury news the past few days this felt like a stop-the-bleeding win.

This was issued yesterday before the Greene injury

Today’s E-Rod injury has taken the wind out of my sails.

Not touching it is dumb. I think Yzerman always touched it. I saw Vegas even skated with it this year.

The Tigers season could play out like the Red Wings' completed season. Play OK for the first several months, hover around fringe of playoff contention/.500, win against teams they should, lose against better teams against which they are clearly outmatched, then if there is a selloff at trade deadline fall off the rest of the year.

My only issue with Dan, that I've noticed this season, is that he occasionally calls the pitch based on what the automated strike zone says, not how the ump calls it. Examples: "That's a really good slider that just nipped the plate ...(two seconds pause) ... you've got to be given those calls, hard to pitch at a 3-1 count now when you know the count should be even at two". "Fastball low and JUST outside ...(two seconds pause)...really don't understand how you can call that a strike". That's hard as a listener relying on the radio and not seeing the TV scoreboard.

This clip popped up on my Twitter feed. I will never forget this shift.

Nice hit.

Twins lose. Tigers are just 1 back!

Great work by Lange.

Tied! With some help from the SS.

Greene triple with some help from the CF.

Now amazing that both an NBA and NHL conference final this year could see a team come back from 3-0 down to win the series.

85 pitches through 3!

Grand slam! How to turn around what looked like it was going to be a very frustrating inning.

Yikes, door opened for the White Sox. At-bat of the game here now.

12 up, 12. down for Lorenzen.
