Watching the tiger game right now. Jackson starts with a double, only three games but so good he is getting off to such a great start this season

Are you at the ballpark? Unfortunately, the game is not being broadcast nationally. Regardless, Jackson is swinging much better now that his hitting coach did away with that high front leg kick. He's probably seeing the ball a lot better and is in better position not to overcomit on the breaking balls.

Nope, watching local rsn 10-10 11th inning

Nice 3-run HR by Cabrera in the bottom of the 9th to send the game into extra innings. Hopefully we can somehow win this one.

Incredible! After going down 12-10 in the 11th the Tigers come roaring back with 3-runs in win the game with a walkoff HR by Alex Avila.

Great start to the season by the Tigers. Hopefully they can keep it going thought the season.

Well, we've got the bats (love having Boesch back in the lineup) and we're solid in the #1 and #2 starting rotation. The biggest question, to me, will be how consistent #3-5 perform this season. We shall see.

I have a Nikon 8800

Will they let me bring it in ?

Haha those are just from the camera on my iPhone right after batting practice. I know nothing about cameras. I've never heard of them stopping people from bringing one in though. I would think you should be able to.

Don't forget Tigers fans, afternoon game tomorrow, 1 pm ...
I believe it's on FSN D !

Great .... I know my Samsung cell phone has a nice camera on it as well, however, I always get much better shots with my Nikon.
Advantage the cell phone has thou is being able to email and send them right away.

TB vs DET should be a good game between two hot teams right now. The Tigers have their #4 pitcher, Rick Porcello, taking the mound this afternoon. I just hope "good" Rick shows up to pitch this afternoon.

Twins looked bad yesterday against the Angels and have been consistently poor over the first four games.

 

[riffjim4069]

Spoiler

Getting a decent pitching performance by Porcello this afternoon, but so to are the Rays; 2-2 bottom of the 7th.

Go Tigers!

It's starting to look like we might go undefeated this year.

The season is of to a good start and we certainly have the personnel in place to contend for a pennant. People can talk all they wish about ading Fielder to the lineup. Personally, the Tigers biggest acquisition was, in fact, getting rid of Brad Penny.

That changed yesterday!

Nice win for the tigers, happy as they got some nice pitching today from Porcello

Well, Porcello is not 23 and with 4-years under his belt. I'm hoping this is his breakout...15-wins and a 3.5 ERA would be sweet.
