Jose Miguel Cabrera put the Tigers on his back and carried the them to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.
Miggy was 3 for 3 with two more Conniption Shots, a double, a walk, 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Perhaps the Phillies should have considered walking him after his second conniption shot?
Honorable mentions got to J.D. Martinez and Nick “The Quick” Castellanos for chipping in with home runs; Victor Martinez for going 3-4 and driving in Miggy with the winning run and Mark Lowe and K-Rod for pitching clean 8th and 9th innings.
Speaking of Francisco Rodriguez, perhaps reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. If I’m not mistaken, this is his 6th save conversion in a row.
FYI: Jose Miguel Cabrera is that damn good!

Glad Miggy has responded to my request last week to put the team on his back for a stretch of games, which he hadn’t done in quite some time… Hope it lasts beyond this homestand.. Speaking of which, this is the most impressive stretch of home games they have had in a long time.. Although these games have not exactly been cleanly played… Pelfry didn’t deserve to win, after giving up the lead in the 6th..
Sark, I agree, Pelfry is a nightmare. That’s why it is so important that Zimmerman doesn’t miss much time. Although Fulmer and JV look pretty good right now.
