Torii Hunter advanced him to third with one out on a slow roller to first base.

Miguel Cabrera up. Should walk him obviously. Force a potential double play with Prince Fielder.

Come on Big Daddy. Hit one on the ground. He's the slowest runner in baseball?

WTF Cecil Cooper? Ordering to intentionally walk Prince Fielder. He's our best chance at a double play.

Bases loaded, one out for Don Kelly. I don't agree with this at all.

Stupid, stupid move.

RBI single for Don Kelly. Tigers take a 4-3 lead in the top of the 14th.

Still bases loaded with one out. I'd have taken my chances with Prince Fielder hitting into a double play. He was 1-for-5 tonight.

Fans booing Cecil Cooper making a pitching change now. The 120 in attendance. There are more Detroit fans at the game (like 200 of them).

I hope when we're good again they'll hire somebody with a lot of winning experience. Maybe we'll get Tony La Russa out of retirement in 2016.

Matt Tuiasosopo smashed a two-run double into left center.

6-3 Tigers lead in the top of the 14th. Still runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out.

And the wheels fall off... 8-21 record.

Jhonny Peralta sacrifice fly. 7-3 Tigers in the top of the 14th. Just adding fuel to the fire at this point.

What a game to lose. We could have lost two hours ago instead of wasting our time with this.

Tigers win 7-3 in 14 innings. A four-run top of the 14th was the difference.

The loss goes to Dallas Keuchel, who actually pitched well tonight but he was drastically over-used pitching into a fifth inning in relief.

LOL, and I meant to say Bo Porter in my previous posts. I'm so tired that I mentioned Cecil Cooper by mistake, the Astros manager from 2007-2009. He manages the same way as Cecil Cooper did. No clue how to strategize late in games and over-uses the bullpen.

But in fairness to Bo Porter, he doesn't have a lot of talent with this team.
