    when did MLB take NFL-like commercial breaks, it's like almost 5 minutes between innings now :x :evil:

    When you are at a playoff game these days, it seems like 10 minutes! I guess they think the games aren't long enough! :lol:

    its really brutal, stupid corporate MLB decision

    this game is going along nice, the first game of the post-season I am watching

    Don't get me started on MLB decisions... We have had Tigers playoff tickets for the past three years. 2011 and 2012 we had to pay for 4 World Series games even though NL was the home team those years (we get refunded for unused games, but still I don't need to be giving interest free loans to millionaires)! Apparently, they can't give us times for division series games more than three days in advance. Day games during the week, some people need to plan to take off work (now, I can't go to Mondays game - to be fair partly due to the fact I'm already taking Th/F off to go see PJ :D , but still...). Last year, in the ALCS, they never even started a game due to rain and it didn't start raining until after midnight. :evil: Another day I had to miss from work. Very aggravating - in what should be an exciting time for the fans. And what's with starting WS games way past 8:00.... :fp:

    Thanks for reading my rant! Go Tigers!

    that is a lot of bullshit in that experience

    especially since they know from July that Detroit will not have 4 home play-games after the All-Star Game, but they hold on to your cash until, what November?

    this game has been fun to follow, go Tigers

    We'll be lucky to get any money back before December or January. They also give us the option to put it towards next year's season tickets! :lolno:

    Good game - bad ending. Gotta love that bullpen. :fp:

    Great to see Verlander throwing great stuff ... It must be frustrating for him the last month or so, good sign for the Tigers though. Bottom line the tigers just aren't hitting.

    Yeah, JV has looked good his past few starts, unfortunately either the bats or the bullpen usually lets him down. I think Miguel is hurt a lot worse than they are letting on, but with all those bats in the line-up, they should still be scoring more - 3 runs total in their last three games is pathetic.

    When they last played Oakland in the regular season, the A's kicked the Tigers' asses, so I guess a split is ok.

    Yeah ... Unfortunately we've known all year the bullpen would be an issue.

    You might as well have put a tee at home plate for Uribe to hit. Huge hit!

    No resemblance to a Cosby kid, but I don't know who that character from "Fat Albert" is.
