Enjoy it while it last man. It's cool getting paid and not having homework to do but ain't nothing like getting trashed every night and having no real responsibilities.

Anyways, what an amazing series. Offense is HOT and playing great. Starting pitching was shaky the first 2 games but very solid today. The bullpen has looked good also.

Let's take this momentum into the upcoming series with the Tigers. They got very good pitching so this will be a good challenge for this team.

I actually hope Reddick is moved into the fifth spot. He presses too much batting third.

I didn't get to see the game, but excited none the less. woot woot. I think I'm going to be the game at the game this Saturday, not 100% sure. Should be a really good series.

^ Good to see Reddick back in there

Crisp & Lowrie stay hot!

 

[do work son]

Glad to see lowrie playing well. I liked him in Houston, was sad to see him go

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Happy to see Reddick back, but still wish he was batting a little later in the order. I guess we just don't have that natural three hitter.

 

[MajinZuub]

Anyone going the game tonight? Decided last minute to go and catch Reddick's Gold Glove presentation

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I kind of want to go tonight, too...

 

[MajinZuub]

Should be a good one man

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

3-1 to Detroit so far... hate these guys.

They're like the new Twins for me; not a rival, but they've been pissing me off too often in a short period of time

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Tie game!!

 

[captain charisma]

I am freezing my butt off here at the game.

No pie better than a walk-off pie.

FIRST PIE OF THE SEASON! With Gatorade for dessert!

J Dizzle!

 

[captain charisma]

Really fun game to be at. I wasn't even going to go. Got there late, I didn't get the foam glove.

Still tho, I was lucky to see the first pie of the season. woot woot.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Great win, hopefully we can get Verlander tomorrow too.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Cespedes to the DL, Coco day to day. Michael Taylor recalled from Triple-A.

What the hell, man.

I was in Santa Barbara last night and missed the game, great to get a walkoff though.


That lineup today is so sad. I would've rather called up Choice than Taylor as well. I hope Coco is back by the time Moss has to leave for the birth of his child, or that lineup is only going to get worse. Welp, I guess I finally get my wish for Seth Smith and Chris Young to get their playing time.

1-0!!!!
