Boy, was I excited after a harsh winter to see baseball start. With Edwin Jackson as part as are rotation, it is going to be exciting to see all the Tigers can provide. And the hopes that the 2009 season will not be a 2008 repeat.
Monday 4/6
Verlander got his start, but as you may of known, it sure as hell wasn't a good one. Three and two-thirds innings with eight earned runs? I'm thinking Nuke LaLoosh at the start of the season in Bull Durham. A good line in this balance sheet was that our very first hit (sadly in the fourth inning), was a Home Run by none other than our Goodwill Ambassador Curtis Granderson. My personal favorite Brandon Inge got himself a Home Run himself with two RBIs attached to it. But the Blue Jays kicked our rear ends in, eh? Lind, their aspiring DH was responsible for half of the runs knocked in for that game with six. It was also some rather interesting baseball when the Toronto fans at Left Field were throwing things on the field. Thus, having Leyland take the players off the field for Ten to Fifteen minutes. I've been to Toronto once, they don't seem like the kind of people who would pull this kind of shenanigans.
