Fulmer starts, who ready in the pen.

Dozier leads off the game with a bomb to left center. Man this guy hit 42 HR last season from the 2B position. Crazy

Would be nice to have the offense wake up this game. 1-0 Twins after the top of the 1st.

 

[lonesometiger]

Coming into todays game Tigers 3 4 5 were hitting 11 for 63 = .174! With V-Mart getting 6 of those hits.

 

[lonesometiger]

Need the DP here.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That was close.

 

[lonesometiger]

Dug him self a little here!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Awe man, where was that.

 

[nsonnett14]

Not good ....

 

[lonesometiger]

Not throwing strikes earlier in the inning got him into trouble.

 

[lonesometiger]

Two run offence not going to work today.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I think he home plate ump felt bad for him.

 

[UMRules06]

Hey offense. Anytime you want to do something, that'd be great.

Our pitchers really seem to have a tough time putting guys away.

[nsonnett14]

This offense is pathetic

 

[lonesometiger]

Gibson throwing 1st pitch strikes!

 

[lonesometiger]

PC at 81 now in the 4th bull pen will be needed.

Ya think ?? If he can keep it at 3 runs and get through the 6th it would be a QS
