He got us out of the inning without further damage. Okay, fine.

I suspect he's headed back to Toledo soon.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Somehow we're at 8-8 in the 7th.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

JFC, Greene. You had the win in your hand and you threw it down the right field line.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition



9-8 final.

Good grief.

Liriano is at 70 pitches through 6. Just sayin'......

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

The no-hit bit ends at 6 1/3. Now let's see if we can hold on for the win.

Sugar Shane gives up a 2-run bomb to tie it up.

Sugar Shane gives up a 2-run bomb to tie it up.

And the Tigers lose 3-2.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Yup. Good old Buck Farmer gives it up in the 11th without recording an out.

But resident genius Lynn Henning from the Detroit News had a tweet a few weeks ago saying that if the Tigers had Greene as a closer and Jimenez as a set-up man in 2013, we would have won the World Series. I wonder if that limp-wristed POS had Joba Chamberlain and the 5 year, $50 mil deal he wanted to give Joba baked in to all that.

Stumpf loads the bases in the 8th, and then can't hit a cow in the *** with a snow shovel, walking in the go-ahead run on 4 pitches. Maybe 1 of them was close.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

A shallow fly ball to CF scores a run when Rosario slow plays Martin. Martin's throw then nearly hits the beer vendor in the section behind home plate.

GOODRUM!!!!

3-1, top 4

[Hammer]

4-1 final.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition



5-4 final.

Fat Rondon blew a 2-run lead in the bottom of the 8th, and Greene closed it out in the 9th.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Liriano to the DL, along with Stumpf. Ryan Carpenter and Johnny Barbato called up.

Looking at our Opening Day rotation: Fulmer is getting shelled lately, with Zimmerman and Liriano both on the DL. This thing could really hit the skids in a hurry. Only Boyd has truly looked good, and God knows just how long that is going to last.
