Just finished the game at 2AM and read the game thread..600 posts...NICE...just had some stuff that I thought was diary-able.

...JDLR with a really good game...although Tigers were helping by swinging at everything...I believe LaRue helped a lot...he changed something in the 5th or so and DLR started winging the curves and the offspeed stuff...I like his curve...seems he can throw it for a strike more than other pitches, but this could be good or bad...only thing I saw from LaRue I didn't like was that he didn't try to sell some close pitches to the ump...but maybe not doing this helps to get other pitches called???

...I like announcer Bob on RSTN, but the dude is getting totally Harry Carey on not knowing wtf is going on...making the game actually more interesting

...DDJ really is on Christ's side...in that replay his face skidded on the grass for like two feet...OUCH...glad he's not hurt

...has anyone noticed Sweeney's Nomar routine...I think I'd rather have Michael Tucker's crack eyes back

...Ordonez really looks like he's pulled something...ran shortstepped to 2 flyballs...but if he was really hurt I reckon Shef woulda been out there

...Inge is a defensive animal

...props to Verlander for a good game...he took some bad calls...and still got out of it...looks like he'll be great for the whole season again...I'm jealous we don't have a guy that throws 100mph every other pitch...he works faster than almost any pitcher I've seen also

...Shealy really looks like a lump out there...he looked ready in ST and then just looks so not ready right now...lets hope him and Gordon start taking speed

...I second the WTF on Gload...could of at least pinch hit for him against a lefty late

...it amazes me how little the players pay attention to the intricacies of the game...on that Pudge grab against the net he could of thrown out our guy at first, but he wasn't paying attention...but also Pudge always seems to be paying attention so when he finally slung that ball to first Verlander hit the deck and Pena almost got hit...thats why I love Grudz because he's always there when a ball goes astray

...ahhh yes, finally...the Ketchup, Mustard, Relish race is finally a real event with racing  on-field mascots...my dream has been realized..lets just hope Randall Simon is retired and Relish can relish another year of victory!
