Coke walks the batter to load the bases with 1-out. Leyland yanks Coke as the crowd grows restless. Elsewhere KC is leading Cleveland, 3-1 in the 6th.
Since the tigers have had it all wrapped up for a while in my opinion I haven't felt quite the same draw to watch as I did the rest of the season. I have missed a few games in the last couple weeks including tonight.

For SHAME !!!
Could the NFL have anything to do with that ?
I'm wanting the Tigers to wrap things up during the home stand so they can rest Miggy the final six games of the season. As for Phil Coke, as you know, he hasn't been on my Christmas card list the past few seasons...slightly behind Brad Penny on the list of pitchers I would least like to see take the mound in a Tigers uniform. Besides Valverde there has only been one other player booed this season - Phil Coke. I think it's a given that he won't be back next season, but will he be on the post-season roster? Seems like we'll place Porcello in the bullpen and we won't really need him serving up meatballs to the opposition. Thoughts?

I think he still makes the postseason roster just so they have other lefty options besides Smyly. Hopefully we don't have to use him that much though. I'm ok with him coming in to face a lefty or two if they are back to back. I just don't want them to ask him to pitch full innings including at bats against right handed batters anymore.
Tigers down 2-0 going into the bottom of the 5th. They need to figure out this Seattle pitcher.
