TIGERS WIN TIGERS WIN!!!
So I was way off in my prediction of the lineup. Inge started...on the bench. But came in as a defensive substitute when Kelly switched to RF for Ordonez. Fister, pitched a hell of a game. What won the game though was the back to back jacks in the first inning. Obviously scoring helps, but getting two runs in the first inning against a rookie pitcher has to be a total mind F--K. He left the game with tightness in his forearm. I smell something foul there. He left because he was rattled and unable to throw his throws. Leave Nova in for one more inning and the Tigers have a field day.
Quick turnaround as the Tigers start in Texas at 7:30 on Saturday. The pitching rotation will look like this: Game 1: JV, Game 2: Scherzer, Game 3: Fister, Game 4: Porcello, Game 5: JV, Game 6: Scherzer, Game 7: Fister.
Having JV and Fister potentially pitch 4 of the 7 games is a good thing, and I like Fister as game 7, I think hes out to prove himself. Go into Texas win game one. We will be looking good for the series. We need out bats to do what they do in the humid air.

TIGERS
MSU has a bye week before the um game. So Pat will be handling most of the blogging duties when it comes to college sports. While I will mostly be commenting on his posts and talking about the Tigers. Yes, talking about the Tigers. They play tomorrow in a decisive game 5, but I plan on talking about them longer. Mostly because I do not plan on the Tigers losing this game.
What went wrong in game 4? A few things I suppose, off the top of my head, Curtis Granderson. I used to belong to the Facebook group: 71% of Earth is covered by water, the rest is covered by Curtis Granderson, and after watching that game you can see why. Austin Jackson, you are great and all, but you were not Granderson, last night. Tigers fans are gonna need some jaw dropping catches tomorrow-where applicable.
What else you say? Well I am not sure if I should congratulate AJ Burnett, or scorn the Tiges hitters for swining into so many double plays. (if i were a TBS announcer i would now type that AJ has the second best stuff in baseball behind JV. no joke, they said that in the second inning.) Instead, DAMN YOU TIGERS BATTERS FOR HITTING INTO SO MANY DOUBLE PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You want more? I will give you more and you will like it!!! Wilson Betemit. YOU SUCKED. Getting the lefty bat in the lineup was a good idea, in theory. In practice it was a spectacular fail. Sure, Inge is about the worst hitter on a playoff team but so far hes 3-6 against the yankees, and he knows how to play defense. Ride the hot bat for game 5 please. I think Inge will come up big. He loves it.
my projected game 5 lineup 1 - Fister. 2 - Avila. 3 - Cabrera. 4 - Razr Ramon. 5 - INGE. 6 - Jhony. 7 - Young. 8 - Ajax. 9 - Kelly. DH - Vmart
Only changes/surprises are that I see Inge in for Betemit and Kelly will get the nod over Magglio. Kelly has had good bat, and offers more speed both defensively and running the bases.
Game 5 prediction: watch the game. but like I said earlier, I expect the Tigers to win.
