Short with an RBI double, Five-2 Tigers!

Tigers are playing some solid baseball today, so far at least.

This is looking like a replay of last nights game.😠

Greene with a homerun!

Looks like a tie to me.

Got the lead back thanks to Carpenter.

Thanks for the advice. I remember that the area around Tigers Stadium was pretty run down and that didn't scare me. I never had a seven year old with me before so I will have my head on a swivel.

Thank you for the suggestions, I will look into all of them.

Same here!

Looking into the future, I have purchased tickets for game two of the Houston/Detroit series on August 26th. My youngest son, son in law and my seven year old grandson and I will be making our first trip to Comerica Park. I haven't been to Detroit since the last game I went to at Tigers Stadium. I would imagine that Detroit has changed a lot since then. Since we have an eight hour drive to get there, lodging will be important to secure for two nights. I'm hoping that one of you fellow Tigers fans can recommend a place to stay close to the stadium. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

The Upper Peninsula has historically fielded a number of hardball teams every year for decades. Guys in their twenties, thirties and a few in their forties would form travel teams and play out their baseball fantasies in front of avid fans. Back when I was in my forties or fifties, Felch (near Iron Mountain) had a great team. They had a Sunday game scheduled and word was that former Tigers John Hiller, who played regularly for Felch, had invited Fydrich to pitch for Felch. My cousin and I, not really expecting that to be true, took a ride down there to catch the game. I don't recall the score but Felch won and that's the only time I saw "The Bird" live. It wasn't long after his major league career was over and his "stuff" was still pretty good.

The headline says the game is at 1:10 but it's actually scheduled for 6:20 EST.

Tigers sweep the Giants!

Short with a two run dinger, 5-1.

Oh oh, Ibanez hurt sliding into second.

Baez with one of his typical swing and miss at a ball low and outside for strike 3.

At least we got Cisnero out of there with little damage.

Tork with an RBI, 3-0.

It's hard to keep track of all these pitchers moving around here, there and everywhere.

I like Badoo but his defense and his arm, not to mention his bat, are a question mark for me.

I'm thinking that Torkelson, Greene and Carpenter are a decent core to build around. Vierling, McKinstry and Rogers are also decent pieces for now.

I was thinking that maybe on the east end they can pick up a downstate station. Maybe that's not even possible anymore.

I sure wish we could get the Tigers on the radio here in the U.P.

Wellll, today is the last time I will attempt to watch the Tigers on either Apple or Paramount. They have too many technical issues making watching very frustrating. Give me Bally back!

Whew, I finally got the game back but I missed an inning.
