And Cabrera hits one into a tunnel to the right! of the Acela Cub. yikes.

[Ceetar]

63.72 feet from the mound to third base.

66.93 feet from the mound to second base.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Screamer the first time 'round for an out; sad-lookin', bloopfarty, two-out RBI single the second time. Ah, the vagaries of Murphstickin'.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

d'Inger!

(With deserved curtain call.)

[Guest Kong76]

When Murph stinks, he really stinks bad

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And then there's Dirks.

[Edgy MD]

Young poorly bunts but gets the runner over.

Still think we should've bunted all weekend on these muggs.

[Edgy MD]

Sliders away destroy Marlon.

[Guest Kong76]

That was painful to watch ... none of them strikes

[Edgy MD]

Cabrera: a tough out.

[Edgy MD]

Four straight singles against Hawkins.

A lot hit off the handles, but man.

[Frayed Knot]

Story of this series is the Tigers getting some very long HRs sandwiched around about six dozen mostly softly-hit singles.

[Frayed Knot]

And now, with some of the slowest runners in all MLB on the bases, we haven't even made one of them run in order to score.
Virtually every one of their runners who have scored all weekend has done so at a trot.

[Edgy MD]

Mets giving up the death-by-a-thousand-cuts rally here. Painful.

[Edgy MD]

Glad there's enough there to do a LGM chant. Disaster of an inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Our grounders have gone at 'em, their grounders have gone 'tween us.

[Zvon]

Gonna zip thru this now and.....there's not much here to check out is there? Another mo-jo less game. d's homer is a must see.

Just saw Cabreras homer. Sheesh. He's unreal.

[MFS62]

Got home around 6:30 PM.
Left after Duda's at bat, so we missed the ugliness.

Did they announce why Flores wasn't playing and Turner was?
OK, so I saw TDA's first major league homer.
But why no Wilmer? Is he hurt?

Later

[ashie62]

The Mets were embarrassed.

[Fman99]

Napped through 7. Put it on the radio (PS Fuck you, again, FIOS) at 4-3 Detroit in the 7th. Turned it off sometime in the top of the 9th. Thanks anyway.
