at least your Rodney is better than mine. Considering he has an ERA 54.00 for me.

I actually like Rodney. He seemed pretty good. Set me up until Lyon fucked it all up.

Come On Mike! you're ruining Miggy's chances for an MVP lol good job on this

You're striking out left and right. Only swing on the first pitch like 3 times a game. Try to work the count. If the CPU's starting pitcher gets tired he will start throwing more balls and losing his control and velocity.

lol, I'm trying dude. I haven't played a baseball game in years.

Damn you're struggling. Having a hard time hitting? Or is it just that you can't score? Hopefully you can end the skid soon. Good luck in your next game.

Scoring mostly. Leaving runners stranded a whole lot.

Blue Jays Complete The 4 Game Series Sweep On The Struggling Tigers

(0-3) @ (3-0)


Gary Sheffield blasts #500 out of the Rogers Centre.

Edwin Jackson got his 1st start of the year for the Tigers and never managed to get into a rythym out there giving up 6 runs in 5 innings of work. The Tigers began to show signs of life late in the game scoring 2 runs in the 7th and actually managing to load the bases in the top of the 8th. However, with the bases loaded, Brandon Inge would go down swinging and the Tigers would have nothing to show for it. The Tigers also batted into 3 double plays in this game, making it very hard to get any rallies going. The main bright spot of today's game was Gary Sheffield hitting the 500th home run of his career.

With HR #500 Out Of The Way, Sheffield Looks For More



The Tigers took their 4th straight loss yesterday but Gary Sheffield managed to blast career homer #500.

"It felt good to get it over with," explained Sheffield. "Now I can focus on more important things. Like helping this team get back into the win column."

The Tigers suffered a 7-4 loss to the Blue Jays, with 26,659 fans on hand at the Rogers Centre. Carlos Guillen had a pair of hits in as many at-bats to help the offense. Edwin Jackson (0-1) was the starting and losing pitcher, allowing 6 runs and 8 hits in his 5 innings.

The Tigers open up a 6-game homestand tomorrow with a day game against the Rangers, as Dontrelle Willis is set to oppose Scott Feldman.
