I was unable to watch the Tigers today since the nice people at Fox thought I should see the Braves and Mets instead (when I already get the Braves game locally). If you didn't see the Braves/Mets game then I suggest catching the highlights on SC tonight since there was a crazy play in the 5th (maybe the 4th).
Braves up 4-1 in the top of the inning. Bases loaded for the Mets, one out, and Jose Reyes up (things looking bleak for Atlanta). Reyes hits a fly ball to center and Mark Kotsay makes a dive and a catch (or so it is rule). The Mets runner who was on second is doubled up at second - inning over.
However, upon reply it is obvious Kotsay trapped the ball. The umpires meet and do get the call right. Now they have to figure out what to do with the runners. It gets even crazier when you realize the runner from second (who was doubled off originally) not only was doubled off but passed the runner on third during the live play. Eventually they give Reyes the single and everyone gets one base. I think the most amazing aspect of this play was the somehow Bobby Cox did not manage to be thrown out. However, at time of posting the game was not finished.
and yes, the Tigers did lose again (0-5). The D-train took a no hitter into the 6th and that's when Jim Thome took an 0-2 pitch out of Comerica. At least Verlander is throwing on ESPN tomorrow.
