Game 118 Overflow Thread

This game has a familiar feel to it.  Rick Porcello took a good start into the sixth, before tiring out.  And thanks largely to Felix Hernandez, the Tigers weren't able to give Kid Rick much run support. 

The Mariners have broken through against Bobby Seay, scoring two in the top of the eighth.  Detroit is down 3-1, heading to their half of the inning.

Re: topic from other thread

I can understand your dislike for this move. I know I’m not exactly feeling great having that guy on the Wings.

I didn’t like him even before the Moore incident. He’s not a good player anymore, he really isn’t. If they wanted a third- or fourth-liner for depth purposes, they could have found someone less douchebaggy. Depressing.
