4-2 is a Pitcher's Count


In Detroit Thursday, Angels second baseman Sean Rodriguez worked the count to four balls and two strikes, but instead of taking his base, he struck out.

With the count at 2-2, ump Tim Welke asked Tigers catcher Brandon Inge what the count was. Something is already wrong. Anyway, Inge, ever the prankster, said he thought it was 1-2, Welke and Rodriguez agreed. Gary Sheffield was right. Just sayin'.

After the count was 4-2, Rodriguez fanned and took a seat on the bench. The improbable strikeout was the most impressive moment for the Detroit Tigers this season.

The Angels, closing in on the AL West title, play the White Sox this weekend. Oh, good, because they've never gotten screwed against them.

Isn't Inge your Tiger? Looks like he's a real class act.
