    Reports: Jim Leyland will be back...I was hoping he would retire. Oh well.

    Hard to believe yesterday's opener was Verlander's fist opening day win ...

    I hope they solve this closer by committee by the end of April.

    Nice pitching Porcello ... am I the only one that can see that Porcello is average at best, just embarrassing on national tv.

    I just don't see why Porcello is a starting pitcher, very seldom goes farther than the 6th inning ...

    The worst thing that couldve happened was him having a good spring. He has way too many starts that end up like today or giving up 5+ runs. He should not be in the rotation anymore in my opinion.

    I agree ... I have read that he could have been traded for a closer at the beginning of camp (I believe San Diego was interested). Time to promote Smyly

    Leyland is loyal to a fault to a lot of these guys. Just seems like his nature.
    I totally agree. Porcello drives me nuts but they definitely shopped him around in the spring.
    Not sure they got any real bites.
    Either way, at least I could turn the channel in the 1st.
    I got wax to spin. :P

    Not a good weekend .... many of the problems that they displayed last season crept back this weekend. Good news they don't go out west anymore this year, I thought the bullpen was decent ... they just haven't been hitting very well out west. Long season and they are in a weak division ... just make the playoffs.

    This past weekend Texas exposed the Tigers bullpen ... The Tigers might win the Central Division again, but with this bullpen it's hard to see them doing much in the post season.

    Anyone try for postseason tickets at 2:00? Just spent the past 40 minutes freaking out, timed out on first try as they said my password was wrong - waited for them to send another. Then no seats available. Then server failure for twenty minutes. Phone lines busy. Finally got through, 2 tickets way out in the outfield, six sections further out from our season tickets - aaaargh! Guess I should be happy I got them, but previous seasons have not been difficult like this.

    I thought this only happened with Pearl Jam tickets! :lol: Now just have to hope that there aren't games on 10/11 and 10/12! ;)

    Got section 102 bleachers. It was a struggle this year.

    Last year was a breeze. I was in and out in 10 minutes and actually got 10 rows closer in the same section of my season tickets.

    Yeah, I have never had trouble in previous years - wonder what the difference is - bigger expectations this year maybe.

    Glad you were able to get some - no pun intended! :lol:

    Probably going to have to live with close games, they'll probably only go as far as the starters take them.
