oh those pesky elements of the game...

I think a new pitching coach will help. Chuck was not right for Detroit since the pitchers did worse each year!

Justin could've had a stellar year, but he changed so much since 2007! scratch

Does anybody know the lineup for tomorrow? According to tigers.com posts, all the big names are out of the lineup except for Sheffie, still trying to hit #500....

guess this is a pre-Spring Training game? Frown

It was not 84 degrees at Game Time

More like 74

Why are the Tigers posting higher temps?
