A grand slam from Craig Monroe and some great pitching by Jeremy Bonderman did this trick in this one.  After two games, we’re right where we started with a 4 1/2 game lead. 

I think today might be most interesting pitching matchup.  You have two pitchers (Jose Contreras vs. Kenny Rogers) who had solid first halves, but both are starting to taper off.  It’s get away day, so we could some interesting lineups, at least on the Tigers side.  And not to curse myself, but the greatest chance for rain will be around game time, so there’s a chance this one won’t even be played.  I’ll be at the game so I’m hoping the bad weather holds off.
