Tarp’s on the field. No word on how long the delay will be.

he was a real pro, one of the best in the business.

Tigers on and an Indy channel is showing the Indianapolis Indians at the Mudhens. double me up!

Now that is a Big Boi!!!

He has made more great plays this year than anyone else in the outfield besides Grandy, with limited playing time.

Living among 10 million Lakers fans can be trying in these times. Wish I had a Red Wings flag to fly from my window, the sea of yellow and purple must recede. But I’ll take a Tiger victory in the meantime.

And thanks for the Vernor’s vintage ad. I get mine in bottles at Galco’s in Eagle Rock(ish). They also stock Rock n Rye and pretty much all your Faygo flavors.

NICE CATCH MARCUS.

I think his infield time definitely helped him on scooping up the ball and making an off-balance throw on Juan Pierre’s grounder.

Ain’t no problem there. That is good to see.

Two straight games with a stolen base.

things are going our way

I think Rod’s as in love with X-Mo as Joe Morgan is with K-Zone. Now he just has to start referring to it like a person.

“X-Mo says Berroa tagged Guillen.”

Maybe I’m imagining things, but I think that inning was a sign of how he’s become more comfortable with being a catcher. Galarraga walks LaRoche, Inge trots out to the mound to calm him down. When he first started playing catcher again this season, I don’t think he was doing that. He seemed far more concerned with acclimating himself back to the position.

On the mound right now for the Hens. I will give you a synopsis when he’s done. Supposed to be going two innings….

Two K’s and grounder. One man did reach on an error, but he then stole second and third on consecutive pitches. Nothing earth shattering. His fastball looked good, not great. Same good movement though. He’s looking like he hit the weights.

has seemed much more comfortable at third recently.

Yeah, I think you have to keep Marcus in the lineup.

He brought the big boy bat today ;)

there are some who call me…..... Thames.

Nice piece of opposite field hitting by Granderson for a double.

Man, I hope he isn’t hurt..

that in mid-June so far the Tigers’ best offseason trade would be Michael Hernandez for Armando Galarraga

I think Miggy’s settling in

Maggs flies out to the warning track in left, followed by Cabrera taking a ball deep to the opposite field. Not for a home run his time, of course.

that all of sudden there’s a TON of Tigers minor leaguers who somewhat unexpectedly are now up in the bigs? I wouldn’t have been surprised if we went a whole season without seeing: Dolsi, Galarraga, Bonine, Rapada, Larish, Hollimon, Clevlen, Raburn yet they’re all up at the same time. And that doesn’t even mention Clete and Joyce…

Is that 4 straight quality starts for the Tigers?

anyone know his pitch count?

curveball there…

We got this guy for someone named Michael Hernandez (who isn’t even with the team we traded him to this offseason). This has shades of the heist of Carlos Guillen from Seattle a few years back.

looks like the white sox just took the lead against the rockies in colorado.

I know Leyland liked what he saw out of Dolsi this spring but still, he’s been unreal. He only had ONE inning above single A coming into this season.

Oh how you have to love it when they trot in..

This is the way they’ll climb back in it, gotta start winning series, maybe get a few sweeps.

last team in the majors to get a shutout behind that glowing arm of wunderkid armando gallaraga… now if only those pesky chixox would start losing ugh
