Tigers-Pirates, bottom of fourth

It's been a common occurrence for the McKechnie Field bleachers to be full this spring. Unless I miss my guess, this will be the seventh sellout of the month, fifth in a row.
Today, they look like the 2003 Tigers. Jack Wilson reached on an error by shortstop Edgar Renteria and moved to second base on a wild pitch.
Now, Bay walks on four pitches (leaving for a pinch-runner) and Jim Leyland comes out to grateful applause to bring the struggles of Dontrelle to a merciful end.
Yorman Bazardo is the new Detroit pitcher. Right now, I'd settle for Joe Sparma.
Things I've discovered while researching other projects: Since 1900, the percentage of Icelanders in farming has dropped from 77 to 4 (according to National Geographic).
The same issue claims sheep recognize faces (of sheep and people), so you never know, although the movie Babe now makes more sense.
Bautista rips a double down the left-field line off Bazardo to increase Pittsburgh's lead to 7-1. It still doesn't ease the sting of 1909.
