I don't get the local feed (Fox Sports Detroit is a premium channel on Dish), but for some random reason I wasn't blacked out today

My only guess is FSD didn't have a broadcast today. It was nice to actually watch the team live and in good quality, especially during a Verlander start.

Brett Jackson is 0-3 with three strikeouts, this is what I was worried about. Hopefully he keeps his head in there and doesn't get discouraged.

Finally the Padres have been sold... bye Moores.

Alonso looking really good at the plate recently.

Edit: Tough game for the Cubs rookies (with the exception of Welington Castillo). Especially for Brett Jackson. He's got the golden sombrero after going 2 for 4 yesterday.

Happened last inning but it's really tough judging balls at Petco. Would've bet my life that Carlos Quentin ball was out of there, only for it to die on the warning track.

Well glad to see the Dodger offense come back into form against the crappy Rockies.

Castro's been struggling as of late too. I know he's not a rookie, but he's still young. But you're right, our rookies are struggling at the plate tonight. Vitters did make a great diving play over at third though, really the only highlight for us so far.

Nope, FSD did have a broadcast today. Not sure what the deal was.

His first name is actually just those two letters its not short/abbreviated for anything. Weird huh?

That's actually why Philly traded him for Oswalt...we needed someone whose first name made sense.

Longoria was just activated and will be in the lineup for the Rays tonight after missing more than half the season.
