Might as well sweep Oaklamento.

Did anyone else hear the fans chanting "Let's go, Oakland" when the A's were making their noise late last night? That was a thing.

I heard that during Friday’s game, too.

We called it Excremento when I was stationed there in the late 80s.

Tork continues his hot streak with a 2-RBI double.

And Keider doing his best Dominick Hasek impersonation. Wow.

[Sports_Freak]

Is Riley hurt? He came up limping last night.

Manning woulda broke a foot.

[holygoat]

Max is quite smooth in CF.

[Sports_Freak]

Clark made that catch look easy. It wasnt, that ball was smashed.

[holygoat]

BALLSY challenge by Max in the 2nd inning. That was CLOSE.

[monkeytargets39]

Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle are making me question my heterosexuality.

He seems very comfortable already.   Thinking his pal McG being there helps.

Cocky Clark challenges a ball strike call in his very first weekend in the majors.  Back in the day, rooks knew their place.

I like that umps can't just squeeze rookies anymore like they used to.

[NorthWoods]

I know they feel the need to do this but come on.....right now Skubal is being talked about like a cross between Mother Theresa and Cy Young.

[holygoat]

Zach having issues judging fliy balls in right the last two games. He almost misjudged that into a double.

Oh yeah? How many Cy Youngs did Cy Young win, Mr Smartypants?

It’s happening on the radio broadcast right now. Dan Petry talking about “the little things he does behind the scenes for people that are hurting”. 

[holygoat]

Did that hurt? It looked real painful.

[NorthWoods]

I'm more on the bright side - think how excited we should be if they make/continue this run into a pennant race while playing 5(!) rookies nearly every day.  McG, Lee, Malgeri, Valencia, Clark.   It seems that would set a sound foundation for the future.

Yeah, I'm still sanguine on the Tigers future. Lots of high-end young talent across the board. Just need a pen...
