Cueto out with an injury with one out in the bottom of the 1st. :-)

I have to agree here!
Justin Verlander was the first man to ever get a handjob from 60ft 6inches away. :-)
You can't get down on the A's, all any team is looking for is a split.
You lose game one, on the road, with the other teams ace on the hill, not the end of the world.
Just make sure you get game 2!
:-):-)

Nice job by the Reds, last night.
You lose your ace, in the first, on the road and still manage pull out a win.
Seeing him leave the mound brought back all the bad memories of the 03 World Series, game 5, when David Wells bailed on the Yanks.

Gonna make sure I have fresh batteries in the remote today!
Between NFL and 4 MLB games, I plan on doing a lot of channel changing. :-)

Tigers got some good crappy calls. A's were not hitting regardless of the calls. Need to swing the bat to preform like they were. I agree, It wasn't a huge beat by the Tigers and they hung in there for a bit against one of the best pitchers in MLB. Need to bounce back strong this game and get there fans and them self's pumped up for returning to Oakland!

I didn't watch much of the Reds/Giants game.. Dislike Giants. Way to go Reds!

I saw one strike 3 called on Verlander's fastball and it was up by the batters neck almost:-)

There was more than that one.. haha

I didn't watch the whole game so I only caught a few bad calls, but from what I hear I don't doubt there were more.

Well it looks like Detroit is using the A's as batting practice!

Great game this afternoon.

Don Kelly....once again the unlikely Hero. Tigers just need to take one of 3 in Oakland, though I hope they win Game 3 and save their pitching for the winner of NY-Baltimore.

Faaaaaaaaaack

It appears over. Hopefully Giants can get through.

Another great game. Hard to believe the Cardinals couldn't take advantage of Gios seven walks.

same for the reds right this inning.

Yankees rallied against a great closer last night to take it! :-)

Go Nats!!!!

:-)

Are the Giants even gonna show up this series?

It appears not.

I don't think so!

I used to think Inge was a good guy but he made a number of really shady statements. Basically blamed his poor performance, for the past 2-3 years, on lack of consistent playing time, weather, and the toothfairy. He WAS a huge fan favorite before he started that crap. By the end he had turned loyal fans against him. It eventually got so bad he was booed every time he took the plate. I hate to say it but I too like him and was turned off by his statements. Glad he's gone. Good luck with him.

:-) :-) I don't know what you're talking about. I watched the game. Sure there were a few questionable calls on balls/strikes but so many people take the stupid box graphic as gospel. Please don't. IMO it's usually indicitive as to where the ball's at when it's caught, not when it was over the plate.

fixed!
