E-Rod at 104 pitches after a clean 8th, with Lights Out Lange warming up it appears his day is done. Another job well done Eduardo!

E-Rod shows off the art of pitching by striking out the side in the 7th, BTW good call on that last pitch Blue.

Are we sure there aren't 10 fielders out there when Tork is up? It sure seems like it.

Not that 19 years old is old but it seems like just yesterday Campos was the 14-15 yr old wunderkid that Avila and Co. signed and stashed away where nobody could find him.

Of course we're right by the Seahawks after the debate yesterday!

I expect an electric afternoon down at Comerica! Seriously though if I didn't have to work Id love to be down there for this. Between the sun, Verlander and the Tigers playing better it would be a nice time to go.

What's funny is Max didn't want to be second fiddle but then he went to Washington with Strasburg who was the most hyped pitching prospect in eons and after getting hurt early in his career he bounced back and was coming off 2 really good seasons when Max got there. If Strasburg kept up that projection it's very likely Max wouldve been second fiddle there too since Stras was the home grown guy and was so hyped up.

Yeah same here. Sutton would be a great fit if the price is right.

Leyland: " you guys are gonna be co-pilots" Verlander: "so Pilot and Co-Pilot?" Leyland: "No Co Pilot and Co- Pilot" Verlander: "That maybe confusing to the guys cause they look at me as their Pilot." Leyland: "Max will run the day to day things while Justin you focus on big picture stuff."(starting opening days and Game 1 of playoff series) Yeah this doesn't make sense to people that don't get the reference from The Office but anytime I see something with Co infront of it I think of that scene with Michael, Jim and Wallace.

If the White Sux hold on the Tigers will only be 3 games back in the loss column of first place!

The "returned to Toledo" wording is what makes me laugh, like not optioned back or reassigned but "returned" like he was a shopping item or lost pet.

With our offensive explosion today we now finally past the 100 run mark on the season, last team to do it of course but we're trending upward. We're only 1 run behind the Royals who have played 1 more game than us, like a week ago we were like 25 runs behind the 2nd to last team.

To update my previous post, they are actually 0-5 in series against AL East teams not 0-4, I forgot about the Blue Jays series.

Another series win, that makes 4 out of the last 6 with the 2 losing ones being both against Baltimore. For the season we are 0-4 in series against AL East teams but 5-0 against every other team.

We've scored 7 runs four different times this year but this is the first time we got to 8. Well done Gents!

Shep: "The Tigers have scored as many runs in 5 innings tonight as they did in 8 innings in the first game." lol Usually when you start out a tidbit like that it leads to something like "as they have scored in the previous 3 games combined" or something like that, not something like scoring 6 runs in 5 innings vs. 6 runs in 8.

Riley rips a single to right to make it 6-1. That's his 2nd hard hit ball to the pull side this game which is a good sign. Feels like most of the year anything hit to the right side has been weak contact.

And the Ding Man just misses another HR, has to settle for a 3 run double!

Speaking of Vierling I liked how Shep tells us earlier that the players call Vierling "Sherman" but then never follows up on it to tell us why so now it has me wondering.

Vierling crushes one to the Mets bullpen to make it 5-1 Tigers!

The Pivotal Prospect Dillon Dingler stays red hot with yet another homer, that makes 5 straight games now.

I was gonna half jokingly mention a few days ago that Haase was just waiting till May to hit before he starts hitting cause that is what happened either last year or the year before for him.

I know we don't want an Avila ever employed by this team again but I thought Alex did a good job the limited time I listened to him last year. I wouldn't mind hearing him do more broadcasts.

TORK rips a double up the LCF gap to make it 2-0 good guys in the 1st!

Is this the first time we faced Max since he struck us out 20 times?
