OFFICIAL GAME THREAD

Tigers at Angels ... Maroth vs. Washburn ... 1:05 pm, TV: Murdoch

I might be asleep when this game begins.
Perhaps the loud cracking sound of bats will awaken me?
Perhaps it will be the sound of the first homerun by an Angel Designated Hitter...
I mean, I am down with our oldeskool National League style offense, don't get me wrong, there is more than one way to skin a pennant besides BB-BB-HR Moneyball, but somebody tell Scioscia that -since he doesn't hafta bat the pitchers- he can designate a frickin' hitter in the Designated Hitter position.

Wash has been alright lately and Bartolo's Complete Game yesterday gives us a rested bullpen for today.

A dreaded sunny day
so let's go where we're happy
and I meet you at the cemetry gates

Understatement of the year

After Kevin Gregg's four walks, two of which scored runs, Hud says:
"This is not what Mike Scioscia and Bud Black had in mind bringing in Kevin Gregg".

Thanks, Hud.
