Pestano stays in.

I'm don't know what STO aired of the Acta-Pestano mound interaction, but it was obvious Acta was scolding Pestano. Pestano looked at Acta eye to eye and man to man and listened without response.

Looks like Manny got his point across!

Underwood and Manning went on at length about how Manny had challenged Pestano, that it was a one-way convo, etc.

When they came back from commercial, they showed Manny patting Vinnie on the back in the dugout.

Note for the rest of this series, we have made it deep into the Texas pen and made them all throw some pitches.

Looks like a two run lead for Perez to protect.

Thanks, JR. Nice to know.

How many runners is Acta going to get thrown out ? Ozzie Guillen wantabe. Talks about his hitters not giving up at bats and he seems to get 2 runners thrown out every night.

Lets see if Cabrera can add to the lead here......

If the grid on gameday is anything to go by the umpire sure as hell isn't calling the knee high strike tonight.

Tigers have won.

I think the success of aggressiveness on the base paths is more on the player execution and corner coaches in each instance than on Acta. From the bench he can dictate to be aggressive.

Since we've had many games with 6 hits or less, I can't fault aggressive too much.

All the more reason to fault it. Just stupid on Acta's part.

Cabrera po'd at himself as he misses one and pops up to end the inning.

Good news is we made THAT reliever work, too.


We need Chris Perez to have broad shoulders in the 9th.

Kearns out, Brantley in

Perez with a first pitch strike.


And Fukudome grabs a pop for the 1st out.
