Heartbreaking loss

  Saturday night in Chicago,  the Tigers were determined to even the series at one, going into the rubber game. Johnson was on the mound, his Era has improved over his past 5 starts, and so has his play.  Johnson had a No hitter going into the 5th, and the score was 4-0, everything was looking good. As for how the Tigers got these 4 runs, Thames homered, and so did pudge, Guillen, and Inge launched a 2 run blast.  Could this last? lets just say inning 6, 7, 8 never happened and jump to the 9th. Top of the 9th inning, Inge singles, Logan bunts him over, ground out, then pop out, no damage done.  Bottom of the 9th, Tigers put Urbina on the mound, I was already worried.  1 out, Crede up to the plate, Urbina had already thrown to fast balls in a row, he throws another, Crede belts it deep, going going gone. Fireworks start as the Sox celebrate there win.

Another blown save for Urbina, I would give him one more chance, or he's gone. Just a very, very heart breaking loss. I just want the Tigers to salvage a game. please.

Notes: I was watching WGN Chicago, and the play by play was horrible, whe Inge belted a homer, the play by play guy did'int say anything at all, however he did talk alot about the White Sox, when they homered.
