For night games and special events, like the Sunday afternoon doubleheader against the #Tigers today, they play in the cavernous Municipal Stadium. Today, in the big stadium, the doubeheader drew a mere 8,450.

@BeschlossDC Was working at NSA near BWI Airport, I had just returned from lunch in the cafeteria when a coworker told me what happened. It took me a minute to remember that this was the flight with the teacher on it. As a long-time fan of the Space Program, it shook me to the core.

@MarieCoronelSD Merry Christmas to you and yours, Marie!

@JimCosta_ I hope that there's going to be some outrage around that fact that a lot of systems don't have FS2. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Charlotte without the game. My 88 year old father in law can't watch in his facility. This is an epic MLB failure.

@radio_RG Listening while at work in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Michigan was home state of Todd Martin, Mal Washington, Aaron Krickstein. Thanks for your coverage

Still true 9 months later. . .

This is not a knee jerk reaction tweet

Jim McElwain has been a HC for 11 years and he’s never once won a conference title. That includes 5 seasons at CMU

Outscored 17-0 in the 4th tonight, he’s now 1-4 vs WMU

Still hasn’t found or developed a QB

Time for a change

@flagstafffilms @tigers @Yankees @yankeestadium It was the Colavito pitching win the the first game of double header in August 25, 1968. Other notable #Tigers in the film were Pat Dobson as the starting pitcher and Dick Tracewski striking out looking against Colavito

@radio_RG Listening while working from home in Michigan (home of Todd Martin, Mal Washington and Aaron Kriekstein). Glad to stay connected to this fine match

Hey @usta,
Huge tennis fan and this @espn @GetSpectrum disagreement completely ruining this year's tournament for a large number of people. This is your time of year and it's being thrown in the trash

Does ANYBODY care?

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

The #Tigers are currently 3-6 on the road trip, losing two of three in Minnesota, Anaheim, and Oakland. The trip will finish with a four game weekend series in Comiskey Park, which starts after an off day today for travel.

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

The Athletics took two of three from the #Tigers this week. Detroit's record fell to 68-58 and they dropped to third place behind the Red Sox.

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

Coleman (18-12) failed for the fourth straight start to win his 19th game.

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

Joe Coleman had allowed 2 runs on 7 hits through the first 7 innings and had struck out 9. But in the 8th, Reggie Jackson homered with one out. Three straight singles and a HR by Ted Kubiak gave Oakland five runs in the inning.

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

The score remained 2-2 until the 8th inning when Gates Brown walked and scored on a McAuliffe triple. The score was 3-2 favor of the #Tigers going to the bottom of the 8th.

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

Oakland scored a run in the 1st inning, but the #Tigers countered with 2 in the 2nd, Cash and Brinkman with the RBI singles. The Athletics then came back to tie the game in the 3rd on Sal Bando's second RBI.

[Jeff Kramer @JefferyLKramer]

Late last night, the Oakland A's scored 5 runs in the 8th inning to turn a 3-2 #Tigers lead into a 7-3 Oakland victory. Detroit had just taken the lead when the A's struck. The win gave Oakland the series and moved the #Tigers 4½ games behind the never losing Orioles.
