Tigers were the better team tonight, and won despite Leyland, who should just go into the clubhouse after the 6th inning and smoke until he passes out.

Not saying West cost them the game. Tigers pitching won that game. I was saying, however, that his zone last night was noticeably larger than in the past. He has historically been known to have a zone the size of a postage stamp. As a Sox fan, I found Boston's inability to adjust hard to watch. Sanchez owned them, for sure.
