Always A Tiger.

Whew, this game with the Yankees is going back and forth and back and forth.

Yeah I got a pitchers dual going on in my chise right now. They broke up my no-hitter in the top of the 3rd with their 8th hitter, I broke up there's in the bottom of the third with my 8th hitter.

Tigers End April On A High Note With Roller Coaster Win Over Yanks

(11-10) vs (15-6)


The Tigers celebrate after taking 2 out of 3 games against the Yankees in an exciting series at Comerica.


Carlos Guillen belts a 2 run homer down the right field line in the bottom of the 8th.

The Tigers gave the fans at Comerica Park (all 34,602 of them) something to be glad about, nipping the Yankees in tonight's game by the final score of 8-7. Carlos Guillen drilled a 2 run homer off of Brian Bruney in the bottom of the 8th that proved to be the knockout blow in a matchup that saw momentum shifts to both sides over the course of the game. Zach Miner, in relief of Armando Galarraga (who had a very rough outing), entered the game with the Tigers down 5-3, but still managed to earn the win, his 2nd of the season. Miner pitched 3 and 2 thirds innings while giving up 2 runs on 6 hits. The Tigers have a day off before kicking off the month of May with a home series against the Indians. Jeremy Bonderman (1-2, 7.23 ERA) will draw the start against Aaron Laffey (0-2, 7.97 ERA) Guillen, who tore the leather off the ball in the month of April, will look to continue on his hot streak and hit in his 20th straight game.

Guillen making an early season surge, good to see. Good luck against the Tribe, your going to need it!

Edit: Reading your article I noticed, the month of May comes before June my friend.

[mfbmike]

Guillen for MVP, that's all I'm saying. Nice win, I hate playing the yankees.

Yeah, he's actually leading the league in average and up there in the MVP talks. So clutch. Was so happy when that hit got over the wall to put me ahead late.

So many stats in baseball. Pfft, I posted the stats that mattered imo. You can pretty much figure out the early wild card standings just by looking at the standings. As the playoffs draw closer I'll make the wild card race definitely more noticeable through seperate updates or whatever. If you guys want to know more detail about a particular players stats, I'd be more than happy to tell you. lol.

[mfbmike]

Why do you suck with santiago, Thames, Jackson, why does Placido have 3 homers and why does Inge have 11 RBIs.

kthxbye

hahaha, Santiago blows. Thames is good, just haven't been able to smack one out the park yet. Jackson meh! :club:

Placido has 3 homers because he hit 3 balls outside of the outfield walls and Inge has 11 RBI's because he has brought in 11 runs so far this season.

:headscratch:

[mfbmike]

This is so unrealistic.

Inge is supposed to finish the season with 11 RBIs, and Polanco is supposed to finish his career with 3 homers total. You rig everything.

LOL, FML.

[Primetime]

You have 6 relief pitchers picture and 7 statistics listed in that area. Great series against the Yanks and congrats on getting to the 2nd month. Much more dedication needed in an MLB chise than an NBA or NFL chise. Keep it up.
