Game 4: Oh-Four Pete’s Sake

UPDATE: ESPN highlights available here.

The Gist: The Tigers drop to 0 and 4 on the year thanks to Jason Grilli’s incendiary seventh-inning performance in which he gave up three runs on five hits — including a bomb to A.J. Pierzynski — and a walk on just 22 pitches. Nate Robertson wasn’t much better in his first start of the year: 5 IP, 7 H, 5 R/ER, 2 BB, 5 K.

The Quote: “Grilli should be serving coffee somewhere tomorrow.” — Ian Casselberry via text message.

The Stat: .556 - That’s rookie Clete Thomas’s average after going 3 for 4 (with a run scored and an RBI) on Friday.

Was it realistic to think the Tigers could get well against the White Sox? Coming off the sweep by the Royals it’s clear there are at least two teams in the American League Central that have the Tigers’ number.

    Hey it seems like Clete is the only one that really wants to play right now….maybe it’s too cold?? There’s a high of 60 degrees today hopefully that’ll help.

    I hear Jason Grilli’s got a endorsement deal pending with Outback Steakhouse.

    In thick Aussie accent: “Grilli’s serving up meatballs from the barbie!”
