Complete game shutout for Verlander. Lee gives up one run on a fielding mistake by Valbuena. Box score here. Oy.

Through 7 innings, this was a truly great game. The 8th and 9th innings, however, made it a truly craptastic one.
Cliff Lee Trade Watch: Day 1
/mumbles angry unintelligible words about the tribe
…sigh
Which uber prospects do we get for Lee? Maybe the next one might hit something as amazing as .240 for us.
Valbuena is an idiot. Can’t make a simple out.
I think that play pretty much sums up the season to this point.
Wow… great catch, horrible announcing. “Gone.” …. no it’s not… so boring.
[…] point; or at least, that is what we thought. With one on and one out in the ninth, Grady Sizemore took one deep to center. Could it be the walk-off home run and jolt of life this moribund team so desperately needed? Well […]
Lost in that game was the WORST managerial decision to date by Wedge. I still can not believe he left Shoppach in the game in the 9th to bunt. Worst bunter on the team…..with one of, if not the, best bunter on the team on the bench in Barfield. Not only does he not pinch hit Barfield….but then decides to pinch run Barfiled for Shoppach!!! I no problem with pinch running htere (it was the right move), but WHY THE **** wouldn’t you just pinch hit him before then?!?! Makes ZERO sense, and I hope that Wedge realized that after the game. If he didn’t he should be fired on the spot.
No one that would have been up after Shoppach and had a chance of being the winning run could have possibly been on base for Barfield to pinch run for other than Shoppach (it was phyically impossible for Victor to be on base and be the winning run in that situation), so unless Wedge was planning on saving Barfield to pinch run for either Sizemore or Cabrera (which would make no sense as well), but Wedge really blew it there. Sad thing is this is the norm with Wedge….
