Game 8 : Record 4-4

Miner has minor league stuff again.

I went to the game yesterday and enjoyed the park, the team and the atmosphere in 38 degree weather. Very cold, windy and ugly. The sun never came out and I'm sure the players were not enjoying themselves at all.

Zach Miner reverted to his previous self and was hammered time and time again. Final line: 3.1 IP, 9 H, 8 ER, 3 BB. Ug-ly!!!

Then Eddie Bonine came in and pitched OK. Gave up a couple of tack-on runs for the White Sox in 2 2/3 innings. The Tigers offense was fine. They kept showing signs that the game was not out of reach, but then the pitching would give up another run or two.

Hero of the day: Ramon Santiago. 3 hits, including a 3 run HR. We were sitting in the 2nd row in shallow left field when young Mr Santiago was signing some autographs prior to the game. I told him "lets get a couple hits today Ramon". He needs me there everyday.
