Win the game and maybe be 3 1/2 games out of the wildcard with 3 weeks remaining.  Dreaming too much?  Maybe.  Probably.

 

 

 

 

Hey, why not?

[Motor City Sonics]

Every Halloween the trees are filled with underwear,  Every Spring the toilets explode. 

[CaliforniaDreaming]

Might as well win this series and leave the Colosseum forever on a positive note.

19 remaining games. A 9-10 finish and they would finish .500. Baby steps.

Am still in Spain, still enjoying it, you’re right about the weather being ideal. I might have the Tigers game on for the first few innings in my hotel room but will be fast asleep for the Lions. I’m doing the Camino de Santiago - Frances route on foot, starting in St Jean Pied de Port just inside France a week ago today, up and over the Pyrenees, and now making my way across the top of Spain. Around 425k completed 8 days in, around 350k to go, done next weekend at some point if all goes well.

Good for you. Not for the faint of heart

Marvelous! I still have the Camino on my "to-do" list. I hope to do the Camino Primitivo, but we shall see. Enjoy the early innings of tonight's game. By the way, for the 13 inning game a couple of days ago, I woke up just in time to hear the game losing hit.

[IdahoBert]

Riley Greene takes the no-hitter off the table with a first inning single. 

[IdahoBert]

Dan and Bobby keep talking about what a pitchers ballpark it is and how hard it is to hit home runs at the Colosseum but somehow the bash brothers figured out how to do it. I wonder what they were up to?

[Tigermojo]

Must win! Minnesota and Boston lose. Seattle is winning 9 to 2.

[IdahoBert]

I had a feeling no one was gonna catch that foul ball

[IdahoBert]

Got out of that inning by the hair of our chinny chin chin. 

[IdahoBert]

1-22 road trip for Tork. 

[IdahoBert]

Aside from this basically being a pitcher’s ballpark, all three of the home plate umpires this series have made sure that if you’re within an inch or two of the strike zone it’s called a strike. 

[Tigermojo]

Sweeney!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

probably the last Tiger HR in this crappy stadium.

[IdahoBert]

Trey Sweeney homers (3) on a fly ball to right field.

[IdahoBert]

Sweeney has hit 3 home runs as a shortstop in 20 games and it took Baez 80 games to hit 6. 

[IdahoBert]

Jung doubles. 

[IdahoBert]

Carp singles and it’s 2-0. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Carp knocks Jung in. 2-0

[Edman85]

I don't know if this is worth monitoring, but it may be interesting. That pitch that hit Greene got him in his Tommy John elbow.

[IdahoBert]

Madden doing a Ryne Duren impression with balls so far out of the strike zone they don’t register in AtBat. Got out of the inning though.
