PrintEdwin Jackson's pitching great. But does anyone reading this feel good about it, with the Tigers giving him only one run of support?
Tigers 1, Orioles 0 going into the bottom of the eighth inning.

he manages by feel and instinct
i think he’s been reading too much Malcolm Gladwell

Could Laird be having a worse game?
Been hamstringing his team from the first inning on.
People admit to watching Full House?
I thought that would be like admitting you’re the guy who crashed the Exxon Valdez.
CON!!!!!!!!!
Even if it has nothing to do with baseball
he was drunk at the time
What is the excuse for watching Full House?

Hendrickson SUCKS
Grandy, I don’t care if he’s left handed, you teach him the meaning of pain.
Here's my point about the Voyage crafts...
As of 2008, the Voyager spacecraft became the third and fourth human artifacts to escape entirely from the solar system. Pioneers 10 and 11, which were launched in 1972 and 1973 and preceded Voyager in outstripping the gravitational attraction of the Sun, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future.
Everyone should go to Lookout Landing
and analyze the situation
Because that’s the cool thing to do.
Meredith is pretty nasty
I don’t care!!!!!!! Come on Polly
And his last name is Meredith
He just has no luck in the name department

I think Meredith is a perfectly lovely name

NO EXCUSE for Jackson not to come out for the 9th now

What was that?
Maybe the 5th or 6th “big hit” of the year?
The Dugout is what made me secretly happy we had Farns.
More Tigers Dugouts = good.

No RISP squanders?
Strange, but very pleasing.

Now it's 4-0 so a non-save situation.

Come on, Jackson
Give the bullpen the rest they were SUPPOSED to get after Porcello pitched so well.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
How will Edwin react with that strange 4 on the scoreboard next to the DET.
He’ll have to ask JV or Rick what that symbol means.
to set up the double play!
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
NOW it's a save situation
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Nah.
Jackson had some mileage on that arm tonight, and he still pitched his ass off.
He had a great night, far short of fail.
2100 Woodward and Twitter
Not in a save situation
He’s insane when it comes to saves. That blown save on Porcello’s last start was a huge fluke, first one all year.

EJ: Thanks, Justin

We cast this message into the cosmos… Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some — perhaps many — may have inhabited planets and space faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of Galactic Civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe.

We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of Galactic Civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe.
We hope to have mastered the art of actually scoring runs when runners are in so-called scoring position, instead of leaving them stranded on bases like planets circling distant stars. We hope to have actually found a closer who does not cause admissions to hospitals for chest pains and irregular heartbeat to skyrocket in the viewing area. We hope to have mastered this game called baseball to the extent that one day we may deliver a World Series championship to the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan, and the widely dispersed nation of Tiger fans all over this planet we call Earth.

We need a big banner across the top of the home page tomorrow
Game at 1 today cuz I know I’ll forget.
An interview with Jackson on Tigers Live
can’t miss that!
"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti
Jackson on the radio
Didn’t want to use the fastball early, use the curve and slider to get guys off kilter early.
No changes to his slider, just wanted some better control.
Pitch count tonight matches his last start.
He likes going the distance, helps him keep focused.
Much love to the crowd for the ovation, he apparently had a curtain call.
2100 Woodward and Twitter
Last AL Central update
Cleveland still leads 8-1, that game is almost over.
ChiSox have taken the lead over LA Angels, 2-1 end 5

I would be going, but school starts Monday. I went last year. Halo stadium is cool. Lots of Tigers fan go to that Denny’s around the corner
Someone go to lookout landing and make fun of them for French sucking!
What is the point of this 1 day wait thing?
he has to stock up
Don’t blink during the game, blink when you aren’t playing.

That is so many different kinds of hilarious.

I couldn't really catch it, either
But maybe it’s wishful thinking – Fernando Rodney as the Terminator is just too funny.
“Hasta la vista, baby.”

too bad it wasn't about Detroit signing Patrick Eaves
Short-term and dirt-cheap.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Williams isn't only $500,000 for a year
Even if Eaves is useless, he’ll be cheap short-term useless instead of expensive long-term useless (hello, Wade Redden!).
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Still have about $1.5 million in cap space
So they can fit him in, too, maybe. A lot of teams are capped out, so some of the guys still without teams might need to reduce their asking price a lot or go to the KHL.
I know Holland is thinking of getting someone else at forward so they can keep Abdelkader in Grand Rapids for one more year, playing 20 minutes a night instead of more like 8 minutes on the fourth line. He has some potential to score, too – and playing strictly defensively won’t give him the same opportunity.

A cat is clearly more epic than a squirrel.
Although the fact that ours was lounging in the shrubbery was fairly badass.

As anyone who has every worked with them realizes. Pet owners, researchers, or exterminators – they aren’t stupid. They wouldn’t be such survivors if they were.

Rustin Dodd = Sentence Structure Fail
From mlb.com:
Trailing the Mariners, 8-4, in the top of the fifth on Wednesday, a mysterious gray cat wandered out onto the field.
comma splice mania!
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
hahahahaha
So the cat (which wasn’t all the mysterious – it’s just a normal cat) was trailing the Mariners? Since it’s just a cat, I’m impressed it managed to score 4 runs. :D

she works 3rd shifts as a nursing student so she doesn’t get to see a ton of games
