Tigers vs. Rangers: Papa Grande Takes Tigers Into Bottom Of The Tenth

I always feel bad for Jose Valverde when he finishes an inning in a non-save situation. There’s pizzazz, but there isn’t enough of it. It’s like watching a genius operating at less-than-full capacity, like Orson Welles doing commercials.

Sort of like that but not as depressingly amusing. Valverde came on in the top of the tenth and set down Yorvit Torrealba, Ian Kinsler, and Elvis Andrus in order. No drama. So sad. So effective. The score is still 3-3.
