Thank you bullpen for screwing up this game. Thank you Brandon Lyon for ruining my night, for pissing me off and for putting the Tigers in an 0-2 hole to start the season.
A masterful outing by Edwin Jackson was spoiled.
Jackson's line: 7.1 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO. Outstanding game in his Tigers debut until he was pulled after only 89 pitches in the 8th with a 3-0 lead. Bobby Seay came in to get one quick out and then Mr Lyon made his Tigers debut with much different results than Jackson.
Give up lead on a 3 run HR, check.
Watch Brandon Inge hit a monster HR in the top of the 9th to tie the game and temporarily save your butt cheeks, check.
Blow the game a second time in the bottom of the ninth, check.
Positives from tonight: Edwin Jackson, Miguel Cabrera, Brandon Inge.
Negatives: Lyon, defense (one huge error by Inge), 16 men left on base.
Ugh.
