The walk off

Gem of the Day: (in response to Jhonny's homer) Mario: How do you like that?
Answer: A lot Mario...a lot.

Obviously the Shout Out is for Jhonny (you know, with a soft 'j').  I would call him by his pre-season-given nickname, but there's a problem with that...the chinstrap is gone!  He probably thought the chinstrap was causing his so called "slump."  My guess is the strap won't make another appearance if he is hitting well.  Now he's sporting more of a "chin warmer."  You know, for those chilly spring nights in Michigan.  It's really a loss for the ladies of Detroit.  His post game interview was also entertaining because I didn't realize how heavy his accent was.  He was referring to Smyly as "Smile," or maybe that's just how I heard it.

Goodbye old friend

Props need to be given to Smyly though.  He's good.  Rod pointed out that he mixes things up and I saw a lot of that tonight too.  Keep it up kid.  C-Mo says you have a "sneaky" fast ball.  Sneaky is good.

Today brings another new feature at the Tigress.

WHA?!?!

This is where we (the cat and I) question the managing decisions of old Jimmy Smokes.  Tonight's WHA?!?! putting in Laird to pinch run for Avila.  Only in his dreams is G-Money a pinch runner for anyone.  Prince moves around better than G-Money.  So Smokes, what's the deal-io, yo?  Even Rod didn't have some cockamamie idea as to why G-Money was in the game.  Good thing Jhonny (with a soft 'j') hit the homer, because if that ball would have dropped into the gap, G-Money still would have been at 2nd with Lamont holding up the big stop sign.

He's actually walking in this picture.  That's just how his face looks.
