Seems like this is where they left off last September.

Such a crappy way to end that game. However bad the offense sucks, though, I was just extremely happy to see Hanson come back and pitch shutout ball for a few innings. He seemed to be hitting his spots and the curveball he’s worked on coupled with his new sinker are a devastating combo.

How long before the stories about the REAL end of doping in MLB post the Ryan Braun results?

He was a bad 3B 5 years ago, and so horrible the next year they moved him to 1B….where he has also been bad. Bad 1B do not make good 3B. Add 5 years and 50-100 pounds to a bad 3B and you generally get a horrible 1B. You don’t need any more data to know he will suck at 3B….now it is just entertainment to see exactly how bad he will be and how stubborn the Tigers will be about keeping him there.

It really just looked sad when the only home run on the first multi-game opening day was hit by Jack Hannahan…

Or is you sense of humor above what you preach?

I’ll thumbs up one, but thumbs down the other. Help me out.

Verlander is picking up where he left off last season.

Then I looked at the game time temps: 41-50 degrees. Couple that with the # 1 starters going, as Pedro Cerrano might say; “Bats are Cold”.
