Word, even with the bad pitching of late some Clutch hitting in the last 15 games would have had them possibly 2.5 up on the indians instead of 2.5 down...

If they could only improve that and 2-out pitching they should be in good shape to compete until the end.

Re: TIGERBEAT presented by Stroh's

This game just brings more of the same. Although offense seems to get on the right track, Miller struggled. As soon as Tigers score he gives up runs to get Yanks back into the game.

Left-handed pitchers can't left-handed hitters out

Inge needs to take a vacation to figure out whether he wants to play. This drives me absolutely berserk. Bottom of the 10th bases loaded with 1 out in a tie game and he can't get that run in!

Re: TIGERBEAT presented by Stroh's

Finally a clutch hit. First a boneheaded out by Polanco, of course. And then a 3-run blast by Guillen. And Tribe lost. Not a bad day.

Yeah only us westcoast believers stayed up for this one. Even Roger Clemens was back at the Hotel sleeping....

Re: TIGERBEAT presented by Stroh's

damn! I went to bed at 10:30 figuring they'd postpone the game and play two today...then wake up at 4:30 to discover I missed the end of a great game by an hour

Good news for the slumping Tigers though...the bullpen pulled it out. Let's hope this late loss throws the Yanks off track for the rest of the series

Re: TIGERBEAT presented by Stroh's

Yeah the game ended at 12:32AM here on the west coast and the Tiger fan/posters on the Det News site hung in there along with the diehard sleepy fans at Comerica to see the Tiger batters squander many opportunities to win this one before daybreak. Luckily the five tiger relievers held the Yankees in check until the tigers "woke-up" to win this with the Guillen walk off home run at 3:30 in the moanin"

Although Casey got a timely hit in the 11th and scored the winning run, we still got problems with him, Pudge and Inge as it relates to hitting. Both Pudge and Inge managed to get walks last night and score, but still those two are rally killers as it relates to relying on them for clutch hits. Pudge strikes out or pops out by swinging at balls and Inge just strikes because that is what he is good at! The Tigs had 11 hits last night (today) and Maggs and Grandy had 8 of them with Guillen getting 2 and Casey 1. The rest of the batters just slept....

Every time the Tigs got a Miller a lead he gave it back with the usual walk and he never had a 1-2-3 inning. Lets hope that Bonderman was at home sleeping during this midnite affair so that he is well rested tonight and can get thru to the 7th or 8th inning and keep this short winning streak going!!

Re: TIGERBEAT presented by Stroh's

Bonderman can't get out of first without damage again. He seriously needs to go see a shrink. It cannot continue. I mean, when he's pitching the opponents are GUARANTEED runs in the 1st.
