another holy shit ending to a bases loaded jam.
they had better clean this shit up.
(fister got hit on the fist, errrr... too)

Now Tiger bats had better make Pettite work for longer than 3 minutes or Fister might as well set up a lawn chair on the mound 'cause he's gonna be up there all night long.

Real question: is "tie goes to the runner" a real thing? I mean, we used that in backyard wiffleball/kickball. But...is it a real thing in the MLB?

Nothing like a first pitch fly out to start that off...

I think so.

AND HOLY CRAP UMP?! You're gonna call that shizz up and in a strike on Laird, but anything marginal Fister throws is a ball?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Nice at-bat, Laird.

The strikezone has been 100% skewed in favor of the Yankees. No consistency period through 2 innings.

@PhilCokesBrain
As far as I can tell the home plate ump hates us and the first base ump loves us.

 

[pixburgher66]

Saw that DP coming...ugh.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Double fucking play. Get used to seeing that whenever we get a baserunner.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Thank you, DP-Rod.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

No more scoring threats for another 2 innings (when Cabrera and Fielder come up again).

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I hope Higgy is OK. Not seen her for a few days.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Turning into a real pitcher's duel now.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

TRIPLE, JACKSON!!!!!!!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Tigers draw first blood! Fielder with an RBI.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

2-0!

 

[puckhead]

Nice effort by Swisher (but give him credit, at least he didn't spike himself)
