I don't understand how Jim Leyland is still managing the Tigers. The underachieving by this team has to be placed on the manager's shoulders.

Tigers need a change.

Ksyrup · 06-13-2012, 11:59 AM

They were overrated because they have 3 superstars. They might need a change anyway, but this team was only considered great because their division sucks and they ran away with it last year.

I think they thought they could slug their way through a season, but their infield defense is god awful.

Subby · 06-13-2012, 03:59 PM

With another three game road sweep of an AL team are the Nats the most exciting team in MLB?

I have been disappointed in the starting pitching. However, I still think Leyland's time has run out in Detroit. I never liked him before his time in Detroit and this stint has not changed my mind.

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:03 PM

Giants lead 10-0 in the 6th over the Astros, but Matt Cain is keeping it exciting.

Crapshoot · 06-13-2012, 11:04 PM

Seriously, turn on the Giants game. Cain has stuck out 11 through 6.

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:20 PM

WOW!!! Blanco just saves the perfecto to start the 7th. Wow!

Crapshoot · 06-13-2012, 11:24 PM

That Blanco catch is the best play I've seen by an OF... all year.

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:25 PM

13K's through 7.

Scoobz0202 · 06-13-2012, 11:27 PM

That catch by Blanco. Wow.

MizzouRah · 06-13-2012, 11:29 PM

What a delight it is to see Carlos Beltran play night in and night out.

Lathum · 06-13-2012, 11:38 PM

that pitch wasn't fair

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:38 PM

Lathum · 06-13-2012, 11:44 PM

you will probably never see a pitcher want his team to go 3 up 3 down more than Cain does right now

Funny thing is that in the Mets-Rays game earlier today, the 1 hit given up by R.A. Dickey should have been scored an error (which, of course, would have given him a no-hitter).

Anxiously awaiting the 9th!

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:45 PM

Come on Cainer.

Cain, and you'll have to trust me, has done that a lot with the Giants.

With the command Dickey has had with the knuckleball I wouldn't be surprised to see him through a no no this year.

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:50 PM

JonInMiddleGA · 06-13-2012, 11:51 PM

no pressure

ISiddiqui · 06-13-2012, 11:52 PM

What a throw!!! Perfect Game!!

kingfc22 · 06-13-2012, 11:52 PM

Nobody on this staff deserves it more than Cain.

Crapshoot · 06-13-2012, 11:53 PM

MATT CAIN !

MizzouRah · 06-13-2012, 11:53 PM

Perfect game!!! Always liked Cain!

5 no no's this season.. wow...

Crapshoot · 06-13-2012, 11:53 PM

And just for emphasis.

MATT CAIN! MATT CAIN!

JonInMiddleGA · 06-13-2012, 11:54 PM

I love Belk sticking that ball in his back pocket before grabbing Cain

Lathum · 06-13-2012, 11:55 PM

Congrats to Cain, seems like a really good dude.

The third baseman look so nervous fielding the ball.

Atocep · 06-13-2012, 11:55 PM

Congrats to Matt Cain on moving his career record to 2 games over .500

JonInMiddleGA · 06-13-2012, 11:56 PM

That was a pretty tough play at third to end it, the mlb.com live look-in hiccuped for just a second & I was afraid the throw was late

Lathum · 06-13-2012, 11:57 PM

can't wait for the "first baseman came off the bag early" haters

Defensive replacement; career scrub actually. Joaquin Arias.

Bad-example · 06-13-2012, 11:59 PM

Thrilling to watch on tv. I can't imagine what it was like to be there.

Vince, Pt. II · 06-14-2012, 12:00 AM

Wow. Amazing.

Crapshoot · 06-14-2012, 12:00 AM

I went to yesterday's game, when Bumgarner struck out 12 and hit the first HR for a Giants hitter at home in 18 games. Who knew that would be only the second best performance!

AENeuman · 06-14-2012, 12:08 AM

Cain was ready, willing and Abel.

Amazing, team with the most errors gets a perfect game. Good stuff.

Scoobz0202 · 06-14-2012, 12:09 AM

Ties Koufax's 14K perfect game.

His ability to throw it at varying speeds is really amazing. I hope he keeps it up so we can legitimately talk about a knuckleballer for the Cy Young.

The Mets screwed up not signing him to an extension earlier; I'd be really surprised if he slows down any time soon.

Lathum · 06-14-2012, 08:39 AM

So the Mets are going to appeal the call of the one hit the Rays got claiming it should have been scored an error.

As a Mets fan I would obviously love for Dickey to get a no no. On the flip side I think they should likely just let it be given the Beltran play.

sooner333 · 06-14-2012, 08:56 AM

I am so happy that MLB did not give me the option to watch the perfect game. The game was not available on FSN or FSN+ (Rangers and Cardinals, respectively). However, because the Astros are a "home team" in the Tulsa market, there was no MLB.TV availability.

This really needs to get fixed. If the game is available on TV, that's one thing and I don't care if I can't watch it through the internet. But, if the game is not even on TV, I think it should be available.

ISiddiqui · 06-14-2012, 09:11 AM

Well MLB Network and ESPN2 had a "live look in" the last few innings.
