Play By Play On The Radio

It's been nice having the games on both teams' stations.

I can hear the Tigers take an early lead on WXYT, and after six innings tune down to WTAM to hear the Indians come back and win it, and a postgame show on which the announcers are beside themselves with joy re how well their team is playing.

Like they were today, when the Tigers took a 3-2 lead in the eighth and promptly gave it back. Joaquin Benoit gave up three runs on three hits. He's 34, coming off Tommy John surgery, and one month into a three year contract.

After the game, Anthony wished him into the cornfield. 

Miguel Cabrera continues to carry the offense, when he isn't being pitched around or intentionally walked with first base open. Cabrera For MVP; yes, the award would have precedence: Ernie Banks 1958-59, Andre Dawson 1987, Albert Pujols 2008. 

Today's game stories indicate they got the Bull Durham "scare 'em" speech from Leyland before the bus ride back to Detroit, where the Yankees  await them. 7:05 start time; it should be dark enough for WCBS by the sixth inning.
