Playing AL rules (DH Oswalt) against the East Coast team? 

The lineup has been corrected (for real this time...).  Thanks!

  Sometimes Backe is 91-92 down in the zone.   Sometimes he's 88-89 and wild.   Looks like we get the latter today.

Not just an RBI single.  He shoulda been out easy. Slow roller to SS, who looks back the runner too long and Hunter beats the throw.  I'd venture to say 98% of all major leaguers would not have been called safe.

he can't turn it around if he doesn't get AB's.  i really think one or two good starts for him ,and Bourn for that matter, will get them right back on track.

Let Ausmus catch two times through the rotation until Towels get righted, if he does. At least you know that you can count on .220 from Brad. Plus maybe he can help Backe or Sampson. Something needs to be done or JR is gonna be back in RR.

SS looks back Berkman at 2B (while Tejada is scoring from 3B) then throws to 1B but not in time to get Pence.  Not sure what that would have been scored if not a single. Any comments on what the scorers options on that one would have been coach?

It was a routine grounder to short. Pence hustled and got a hit.

Routine is being kind... He lollygagged it into a hit. Looked back the runner, then double clutched before throwing.

I bet Budgirl is in a bad temper right now...

Stars - 0
Redwings - 4

late in the 2nd.

I was at the Astros game.  My temper was not in a good mood.  Too many baserunners left on base.

I must say that none of the homerun balls were tossed back.

And the Stars are not expected to beat the deadwings.  But, I gotta believe they will.

I'll just go ahead and admit to being a Red Wings fan now and save the trouble later...

Sorry BG.

I know you are a deadwings fan.  I'm not sure how that happened though.

For me - Detroit was the only placed I've ever lived that had an NHL team at the time.

I have family in Detroit, and can't stand anything from Dallas, so another RedWings fan here.

I keep waiting for the NHL to exhume the real Blackhawks. When that happens, I might get interested again.

no, Jane, i do not. i thought he was out and still do. WTF is "the flow?"

Are you talking about the Belly-lard DP attempt? If so, the replay clearly showed his feet were not even near the bag, so to me the catch/no catch was moot. He was planning on striding and touching the bag on his throw, but he never did. It was a vicinity play big time. The ump blew it.

If this is not the play in question, nevermind!
