Tigers manager Jim Leyland plans to insert speedy rookie Quintin Berry

Tigers manager Jim Leyland plans to insert speedy rookie Quintin Berry and Andy Dirks in his outfield.

A few big hits would certainly energize the Tigers. So might a few breaks, they believe.

"The ball just hasn't rolled our way yet," Berrysaid. "They got a hit off the third-base bag. They had a bunt that wouldn't go foul. They made great catches in left field.

"But no excuses. We're back at home, this is our chance."

No mistaking that the Series has shifted from California to Michigan.

Zabriskie said he stopped doping and was clean long before the Anti-Doping Commitment

"I never used drugs and never intended to," he said in his statement. "I questioned, I resisted, but in the end, I felt cornered and succumbed to the pressure."

Zabriskie said he stopped doping and was clean long before theAnti-Doping Commitment was issued for riders in 2007.

"I want to play my part in making it the sport I had always hoped it would be and know that it can be," his testimony said.

Zabriskie did not immediately return phone messages Wednesday.
