Game 121 Afterglow Thread

by Ian Casselberry on Aug 22, 2009 1:15 AM EDT in Detroit Tigers News

This wasn't the prettiest of wins, with some defensive mishaps and bad luck on a couple of hard-hit balls in the later innings. But Edwin Jackson settled into a groove after a rough start, Ryan Raburn brought his Big Boi bat (he's not being sent down), and the Tigers got key outs when they needed to be made.

Put it all together and you have a pretty sweet 3-2 win over the A's (especially since the White Sox lost), instead of a frustrating loss.

Full recap sometime tomorrow morning. (We think. We'll try.) Until then, enjoy the afterglow!

Well, I gotta get up at 7 AM, so I'm off to bed

I will most likely NOT be joining you guys tomorrow. I’m baby-sitting (though I’ll probably be able to watch the game). So I will see you guys on Sunday.
