So Reese is pitching tonight. The over/under on runs scored for Detroit is 1.

 

[lonesometiger]

Some Duffey head guy was interviewed the other day and came up and said the kc team expected to complete for the division this season. So the question is who believe the Tigers are going to complete for the division? that is the real difference between a good team and a so so ran team.

As much as they've struggled at times I still think its a 4 team race. At least now.

 

[jas5lf]

Quick inning...6 up 6 down.

 

[jas5lf]

117 straight batters without a home run until now for Olson.

 

[jas5lf]

Guy homers off Olson then hits a line drive at him. Then a comedy of errors. Olson injured. Fuck.

[Mitchrapp]

Dang. Hope he's okay. Rogers, you're an idiot.

 

[tigermud]

[jas5lf]

Maybe they'll score now that Olson is out.

 

[Mitchrapp]
