Well..we all knew it couldn't last all year didn't we? It looks like Joel Zumaya has injured himself. He entered the game int he 8th inning with the Royals putting up a bit of a fight. He walked the first batter on 4 straight pitches and couldn't keep the ball down. 2 pitches into the next batter out came the trainer and Jim Leyland.
From the appearances it looked like it might b e a pesky blister. Nobody has said anything conclusive yet, but some have wondered if it might be that old tendon injury again that kept him out for a long time before. This happens because he grips the ball so hard that he actually injures himself with the pressure.
Zoom has been a BEAST this season and losing him would be an incredible loss. So take your baby prenatal vitamin Zoom and get your ass back out there.
Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, Barry Bonds, and the world of sports.

Leyland to Stick With Perry For Now
With such a short leash on Scherzer when they sent him down, one could conclude that Ryan Perry is on the verge of his own trip to the minors, or one could hope. After blowing basically 3 games in the past couple weeks Leyland plans to stick with him for now and jsut give him advice on the best place to buy apidexin among pitching tips I guess.
Ryan Perry allowed one inherited runner to score and two more of his own runs Friday night. That continued a two-week slide which has seen his earned-run average go from 2.41 to 5.91. Leyland said his slider is flat and that he likely needs to use more two-seam fastballs, while also avoiding leaving too many balls out over the plate.
“I’m going to stay with him for awhile,” Leyland said. “If things at some point don’t get worked out, you go down and work ‘em out. We’re going to see if we can work it out here.”

Armando Galarraga Throws Perfect Game; Gets Robbed
I've never been more sick after watching a sporting event. June 2, 2010 Cleveland Indians @ Detroit Tigers will go down as the most upsetting game I have ever seen. Armando Galarraga threw a perfect game. HE threw such a perfect game that he got 28 outs in a row.
If you watched this game you know how shocking it was. I am literally sick to my stomach still and this game finished 45 minutes ago. I don't even know what to say really, but I have to say something. With 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning an umpire blew an obvious call. A ground out that was clearly the final out of the game. Not just any game. A perfect game. Armando Galarraga threw a perfect game that will never show up as one.
I am not even angry. I am just shocked. I feel like I should be breaking my modern furniture into tiny pieces right now. I will say I'm proud our fans didn't relive the Malice at the Palace tonight. I don't think I would have been able to do anything either I would have been so shocked.
