I think this has the potential to be a 12-11 type game with these 2 guys starting.  They both pitched well their last start but the total is 8.5 runs and I would be surprised if at least one of the teams didn't beat that on their own.

Errol Mann will hit a last second FG

I no longer know what to expect, predict, or extrapolate, etc. My projections, hopes, or fears tend constantly to be thwarted by real outcomes that pay no heed to my fantasies.

A former brother-in-law of mine once said, “Yew git watt yew git and yew don’t pich a fit.” I guess a broken clock is right twice a day and I think he might be right in this case.

Whatever happens we’re going to get what we get.

He did faceplant last night. Hopefully there's no I'll effects from that.

Hopefully the blow to the head will leave  him with amnesia about his approach for the last 6 weeks.....

I wish I could forget about the mustache touching.

Yankees beat the Astros. Houston is now 2 back of the Tigers, Seattle is 3 back.

[Motor City Sonics]

Greene just getting a sort-of day off today, hopefully.    If it's a close game, he'll play at some point.

Benching Riley has already cost them a run.

[IdahoBert]

So I’m wondering how much MLB teams are paying for the secret dossier on how to get first inning runs against Tigers starters?

Jones better homer to make up for that terrible route.

Yup. That should not have been a tough catch if he reads it correctly. Probably forgot about the breeze.

[lordstanley]

Morton strikes out the side and has 5 Ks through 2 innings. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Wenceel triple to left. nice going.

[holygoat]

There we go!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Ibáñez ties it up with a single.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Javy doubles off the RF's glove.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Jake SFs Ibáñez in, 2-1 Tigers.

[holygoat]

Wait, did they announce Lou going into the HoF, or is Dan just talking stuff?

[IdahoBert]

I have nothing against an appreciation for the psychological and affective aspects of this game, but all of the chatter about “momentum“ rubs me the wrong way.

I don’t think ball players or teams are empty vessels pushed around by statistical probability, but I’m not a big fan of the voodoo of “momentum“ either.

Momentum is only as good as the next game's starting pitcher (Earl Weaver)
