Gallarraga had the perfect game after six innings, but then as he heads for the mound in the bottom of the 7th he gets jinxed by ESPN News who announced at that time that he has nine outs to go for the perfection....

Well as soon as you say ESPN and no hitter or perfect game in the same sentence, the Royals David De Jesus leads off the 7th inning with a single to right to breakup the perfecto and cancel the celebrations. Galarraga gave up 2 more hits and a walk in the inning allowing the Royals to get a run and the Tigers won 7-1

Tigers sweep, but Texas blows 8-4 lead to lose to White Sox, so Tigers still have 5.5 games to make up.

Tigs had no business losing to KC to start the season. 180* turn around.
I think they win the series against Chi.
no games to waste.

Tigers struggled against better competition. That's been the problem as of late as they beat up on the likes of KC and Colorado. But they lost 3 of 4 at home to Minni who after that got swept by Yankees in NY. I guess we'll see if Tigers can really compete and play meaningful games once fall rolls around.

They were 0-7 against KC. But KC came out hot, then the league caught up to them.
Long up and down season.

Only 3 teams in all of baseball have scored more runs than the Tigers this year.

Det- 507 runs
Bos- 517
Cubs- 530
Tex- 557

Now that the bats are consistent, our good pitching is getting rewarded when it happens. Gallaraga, Verlander, and Rogers are putting together some great starts lately.

This series is massive.

poor Texas, they can barely stay above .500

If they could get any pitching they'd be really dangerous.

Anyone heard from Skool lately? I think it has been a while since he posted anything?

Tough loss for the Tigers. Leading almost the entire game and losing it in the 9th, to the White Sox...
