Introduction to Smogon's Content Management System (SCMS)
The original version that inspired this guide was made by eric the espeon, with help from jumpluff.
Introduction The SCMS, or Smogon Content Management System, is the heart of all the content on Smogon, with the exception of the forums. Created by chaos in the late months of 2007, the SCMS has been used since, and there's little to no intention of switching. Despite the tool's age, it's still able to carry a bulk of the weight, mainly because of developments that were made routinely by users such as Articuno64 and DougJustDoug, who are still around today. To get a taste of how much the system has progress throughout the years, take a look at the first news post via the SCMS. Getting Started Before attempting to edit or simply use the SCMS, you should become familiar with how it's structured and how it operates. Access Levels The distribution of power throughout the SCMS is almost identical to that of the forums; any user visiting the site, even if they're not registered or logged in on the forums, is assigned a permission group. Note that there is no nomenclature for these groups written in stone, so they may be referred to as something different around the site. Normal Users Who is in this group?
What can users in this group do? Users in this group cannot view or edit the SCMS whatsoever. Privileged Users Who is in this group?
What can users in this group do? Users in this group can view the SCMS as well as make edits to it. However, before their edits are seen on-site, the revision must be reviewed by a user with a Site Staff badge. If a member of the site staff chooses to accept your changes, they will "cache" it, or make the change live. Trusted Users Who is in this group?
What can users in this group do? Users in this group can virtually do anything with the SCMS; they can cache edits, add new sections to the site, edit existing site sections (as well as reorder them), delete pages, and upload (and trash) images. Super Users Who is in this group? This group is unique in that there is no set process on how to become a super user; individuals are chosen by already existing super users on a case-by-case basis. Currently there are only four super users: chaos, DougJustDoug, mingot, and Cathy. What can users in this group do? Users in this group can virtually do anything with the site, bar the forums (but in every case thus far, if a user has this access on-site, they have the same on the forums as well); some examples of things that they can do are making changes to the site source code, modifying the Pokedex on the database level (they are able to add Pokemon, moves, etc.), and making general site-wide changes. Note: Each permission group inherits the permissions of the one below it (in terms of power, not how it is laid out here). Looking Around Now that you've familiarized yourself a bit with the SCMS, it's time to finally access it. The Smogon Content Management System is located here. Now that you're there, look around! It's not possible to break anything or do something destructive, so be bold when you edit as it can all be reverted, and most of the time it is caught before it is put on the production site. Walkthrough The following images show all the possible situations you may encounter when using the SCMS. SCMS Root

Editing Comfortably Metadata In order to establish metadata for a page, you have to use specialized tags exclusive to the SCMS. For a tag to work, it must be the only thing on a line; the content after the tag's line is what will belong to that tag (note that once another tag is declared the process will repeat). The three most common ones are: [title] Declares what the title of the webpage is.
[head] Declares what will go in between the <head> and </head> tags. Unless you're working on a project such as The Smog or you know HTML and CSS enough this should never be used.
[body] Declares what will go in between the <body> and </body> tags. This is probably the tag you'll be using the most as it is needed to define actual content on a page.
Note: In both the [head] and [body] tags, you must use valid HTML; take a look at the web's HTML standards as well as its validator. Section Configuration Each section (with the exception of the news section) must have a file called "_config". Configuration files only have two usable tags, both different from the ones mentioned above (only use one of these tags per each "_config"!): [navigation] Declares what text and what it hyperlinks to in the navigation field (the leftmost part of each page on-site separated from the content by a vertical rule or line).
The text before the vertical bar declares the text that is hyperlinked; the text after the vertical bar must be a correct path on Smogon; the text after the vertical bar is the hyperlink mentioned earlier. Remember: Sections have a trailing forward slash ("/") (e.g. "/bw/"), pages within sections do not (e.g. "/bw/pokemon/koffing"). [base] Declares what HTML file should be used as a template. Unless told otherwise, you should never use this tag and should always use the navigation one shown above.
To learn more about how our base files work, visit the website of the web interface we use, Werkzeug. After modifying the "_config" file, the whole section must be cached in order for the changes to appear. Tips
Well, folks, that pretty much covers the basics - happy editing! |
Oh yes, this is just great. But shouldn't the SCMS bookmark be mentioned as well? It's pretty damn easy to just open the page you want to SCMS, and click the bookmark --
javascript:window.location%20=%20%22http://%22%20+%20window.location.host%20+%20%22/scms/jump?url=%22%20+%20window.location.pathname |
I knew I had forgotten something! Thanks Furai.
I personally don't use the bookmark. |
take note that for pokemon who have a dream world analysis in addition to their normal analysis page, clicking the SCMS bookmark on their normal analysis page will take you to the SCMS page for their dream world analysis instead of the SCMS page you actually want
just a pleasant surprise really |
what I get from this thread is that I am one step down from the 3 most powerful people on Smogon
thanks for the ego boost! :avatar: good thread though |
SCMS has been rather confusing for me. Thank you for helping to clear it up. I'll be sure to use some of these tips if I catch any errors on site.
good thread!
stickied |
idk why we didn't have this already, tyvm
Double posting to highlight something from the OP >.>
This is unlikely to be applicable in the Dex or anything C&C related, but it's good to know I guess, especially for other sections >.> /me runs Edit: erm iirc the entries have to be cached manually one by one too >.> |
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 3:13:04 PM. |

Review: Raised By Wolves - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Then Bryn stumbles upon Chase. A newly-turned Werewolf, the pack have obviously been trying to keep his existence a secret from her. But once she's met him, she can't put him out of her mind. Just one thing is certain - she needs to see him again. Whatever it takes.
Like many novels, Raised By Wolves tells us early on that its protagonist is headstrong, tough, and something of a misfit. Honestly, I've been told this in the opening pages of YA books so many times - only to spend the next three-hundred and something pages reading about said protagonist getting hit on, rescued and fought over by hunks - that nowadays, I take it with a pinch of salt. As it happens, Raised By Wolves' Bryn really is all those things... and then some. While she's been brought up the only human girl in a pack of shapeshifting werewolves, she's no pet. She negotiates their protocol of dominance and obedience knowing she can push the boundaries so far, but if she oversteps the mark she'll be punished by their laws. As narrator, there's something about Bryn's voice, the beat of her words, that forges a raw and almost primal connection between her and the reader. Much like the pack-sense that allows Bryn to sense what other characters are feeling, Raised By Wolves creates a bond between reader and protagonist that means her emotions resonate with us.
At first glance, Raised By Wolves might appear to be a straight-forward paranormal romance. Girl meet boy who is actually a Were - familiar enough territory, right? But while there's an element of romance here, this is essentially a coming-of-age story. Love interest Chase is undeniably a strong presence in the book, but once the pair find their connection, it's instantly apparent that it runs far deeper than boyfriend and girlfriend. Chase may be intriguing in his own right, but it's Bryn who is our hero - and we don't forget that for a second. And since Bryn has been raised in a world where males have all the power, her coming-of-age story sees her challenging a society that's about as patriarchal as it gets. Jennifer Lynn Barnes' portrayal of werewolf culture is wonderfully detailed, with a depth that will impress even the most seasoned werewolf fan. We learn about every aspect of life in the pack, from the life of a newborn puppy to the practices of the Senate that governs them. Most strikingly, it all feels so real: the pack's hybrid of human and animal behaviour utterly convincing.
I can't conclude this review without a few words on Raised By Wolves' secondary characters. Alpha Callum, nurturing human Ali, loveable metrosexual werewolf Devon and formidable female were Lake are a diverse supporting cast drawn so vividly that readers will get to know them as well as they know Bryn herself. This might be a paranormal story, but you're left with the feeling these characters are real as they come. Each of them has a part to play in the mystery that sees Bryn uncovering secrets from her past and discovering who she really is.
Raised By Wolves is compulsive reading. For me, the weakest passages were probably those with a specifically romantic focus, but these are pretty few and far between. Everything else about it swept me away. The characters, the language, the power of the story: this is what it feels like for a book to truly get under your skin.
Out: 16th September 2010, UK / 8th June 2010, US

Absolutely amazing review!
I really like how you write your reviews, especially because you express my feelings about a book much better than I do myself :)
I also didn't like the romance parts and I don't think Chase has enough space in the book to be known and liked by the reader, but all the rest was wonderful.
I really liked the characters and Bryn's voice! I heard Jen Lynn Barnes first book are also brilliant so I'm really glad I discovered this writer! - 3 October 2010 11:08

It's good, isn't it... I really loved the depth of the detail when it came to pack life and pecking order etc. I also liked that the author didn't shy away from the male werewolves somewhat antiquated views of women yet still managed to have Callum et al be sympathetic characters. Refreshingly different.

Seriously fantastic review. I've been dragging my heels on this one because the market is so saturated with paranormal titles, but you've convinced me to read it.

I got Raised By Wolves at BEA and now am desperate to read it because you used patriarchy in the review, and I am all about books that challenge the idea of patriarchal societal structures. Sounds like this is WAY more awesome than typical YA paranormal fare.

I really appreciate the roll of Bryn in this novel. This is my first reading a human raised by wolves. I enjoyed this one and cant wait for the next one!!

- prophecygirl said...
I really enjoyed this book too, and I have a pretty bad history with wolf books, so I was surprised. As I've mentioned in my own review (which isn't posted yet), I didn't think the romantic aspect of the story was at all necessary. For me, Bryn and Chase had next to no chemistry, even though they said they were inexplicably but powerfully drawn to each other. I don't think the book needed it, so I'm glad it wasn't the main focus.
Great review as always Lauren. - 4 October 2010 00:57

This book sounds awesome - can't wait to read it and I am now very intrigued to what I will think of the romantic element!

I'm really excited about this book and can't wait to get to it. I really liked your comments about her challenging a patriachal society, because that's the marketing apsect of it that drew me to it and I'm glad to know it and a real tough heroine are really present.

LawCLE Center is excited to announce the next Arkfeld Online eDiscovery Training Course beginning Wednesday, February 6, 2013.
Tempe Arizona (PRWEB) January 08, 2013
Presented by Michael R. Arkfeld in partnership with the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, this unique eDiscovery program provides a hybrid educational approach including unprecedented course material in the eDiscovery field.
The unprecedented imposition of sanctions by the Courts has led to one of the most difficult competency periods in the practice of law. Today, electronic discovery is a vital part of litigation. Attorneys are faced with a changing format of evidence - evidence created and stored electronically.
Now, emails, metadata, text messaging, word processing documents, spreadsheets, and other electronic files are the "smoking guns" of evidence. The ability to request and/or produce electronic evidence, including issuing a legal hold, can mean the difference between winning and losing your next case and avoiding court imposed sanctions and disciplinary actions.
Course Includes:
CLE Credit is available!

The young lady knows how to sell a play, that's for sure. I like the longer format! The extra "stretch in writing", as you put it, creates a little more coherence and less gag-a-day, which is fine with me. Just make sure you don't overburden yourself ;)
I'll be honest: I'm really enjoying it. Who's to say whether I'll be using it permanently, going forward, but for now I'm enjoying the change of pace. It allows for a little more stretch in the writing, and a bit more room to play with the art.

By Alyssa Goldman, Cheapism.com
We've compiled a list of eight cheap camping tips to use this summer. Why? Because camping, believe it or not, can cost as much as hotel/motel stays. In an ideal world the outdoors would always be free, but it's not. So if you want to spend time with Mother Nature, here's how to do so on the Camping can be surprisingly expensive..
Buy used. This is especially true if your family is new to camping -- no reason to invest in an activity before knowing it will be a winner. Search Craigslist and Freecycle (a site where you give and get stuff for free) for major purchases, such as tents and camp stoves. Check seasonal deals on sites like Amazon and Overstock.com or go to Retail Me Not to find coupon codes for camping gear. For cheap cooking supplies, sift through yard sales and thrift stores. And always ask family and friends about borrowing their supplies before making any purchases.

3 in 30 February
Well, it's the start of a new month so I'm going to set three new goals. I enjoy focusing on these items for just 30 days. It helps to know that I can either start again or set new goals in a few weeks if what I'm doing is not working out.
February Goal #1: Prepare tax paperwork
Ug, it's tax time again. It's really not a big deal to gather all the paperwork and prepare for the appointment with the accountant, but each year I dread it. I hate paying the price for someone else to do our taxes, but owning a business and having rental property is just too much for me to handle on my own. My goal is to have the paperwork ready to go and the appointment made by the end of this month.
February Goal #2: Walk for exercise
I've been having some good days with my feet, so we've been taking walks up to a local park. I love it! It's not the running I had wanted to do, but it's a start. It's been close to a year now since I've been in a "normal" body, but I'm doing well on accepting that change. I've found that if I tell myself our walk is just another thing I have to do it comes easier. It also helps that my favorite birds hang out at the park we walk to. My goal for the month is to get out for our walk at least twice a week. (If you are new to my blog and would like to read the story of what is wrong with my feet, you can see it on the Shingles/ Nerve Damage tab at the top of my blog.)
February Goal #3: Unpack boxes in bedroom
Even though I didn't get very far in this area last month I am going to go ahead and make it a goal for this month again. Maybe I'll get to that area when we are off school for President's Day. Eventually I would like to get that little corner of my bedroom cleaned up and organized.

Good goals! Very do-able!

That's a great set of goals! I put down taxes as well on my February goals (actually doing filing since I need to get to all the receipts first before I can get the form filled out for the CPA). Good idea to move unfinished goals forward rather than abandoning them.

Great goals! I am not looking forward to doing taxes, but at least I think we get a credit for having a baby last year... lol :)

Great goals! Love the walking one!!

Taxes and unpacking - not very exciting but necessary. Walking - a true challenge I imagine with what you've gone through.
This idea of 3 goals in 30 days is a great idea - good luck with them :-) - February 4, 2012 at 3:07 AM
- Karen Greenberg said...
Harvest Moon,
I did actually abandon a couple of my goals because I noticed they weren't working. That's what I love about this challenge, though. It has really shown me what my true priorities are each month.
Thanks. I love the walking goal, too. I hope it will help me continue to move towards complete recovery from my stupid go-round with shingles.
Thank you. The walking is a challenge, but I'm not quite ready to give up and give in to the idea that I have completely permanent damage in my legs. A small part of me still holds onto hope that I can rebuild the nerves and muscles and get back to normal. - February 4, 2012 at 4:28 AM
- Michael Ann said...
I don't blame you for hiring someone to do your taxes! When you have circumstances that make it all that more complicated, why not? Love your other goals too and I really love this idea of setting new goals each month!
- February 4, 2012 at 8:03 AM
- Karen Greenberg said...
MA, I definitely couldn't do our taxes anymore. I would probably land one of us in jail for some problem or another! LOL
- February 4, 2012 at 8:11 AM
- Susi said...
Good luck with your new goals. Im so glad I don't have to worry about the taxes... hubby takes care if that. I like the walking goal. Its something I want to do more off. I prefer to walk over other exercise.
- February 4, 2012 at 10:50 AM
- Karen Greenberg said...
After almost a year of not being able to walk for exercise it feels GREAT! I see why so many enjoy it. I have been logging my workouts at www.dailymile.com and like to see what I do each week. Give it a try! - February 4, 2012 at 3:59 PM
- Tami @ ThisMomsDelight.com said...
We moved into this house in September and still have boxes hiding in closets and the garage. I really should be unpacking at least one box per weekend.
Looking forward to reading about your progress. - February 4, 2012 at 8:11 PM
- Karen Greenberg said...
We also moved in September. I'm glad to know I'm not alone! - February 4, 2012 at 8:34 PM

Effectively manage your product development lifecycles for private label products in a single truth database and eliminate redundant processes and ad hoc systems.
Product and supplier information is the foundation on which ALL retail information is built. Successful retailers therefore use Agentrics PLM to validate and manage data to integrate with other internal systems, thus driving this concept of one version of the managed truth.
Use stage gate development methodologies tailored for simple or complex project needs, and a structured release plan designed to address timely product launches for all new store brand merchandise. A simple example of how this drives success is with the artwork printing; in a large campaign it's often the artwork that holds up delivery as artwork companies struggle to cope with a sudden influx of work. By using effective workflow processes, these companies can be notified months in advance, thus enabling effective resource and personnel management.
Validate product specifications with all stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle using Agentrics PLM. The validation process generates a commitment to data accuracy and ensures your suppliers offer accurate and complete product information in a timely manner. Validation workflows in Agentrics PLM solutions also enable the appropriate stakeholder signoffs at key milestones in the product lifecycle, enabling considerable cost savings and time efficiencies whilst also providing for a level of due diligence protecting both the product and the customer

I always enjoy your posts, Jim. I am on the side of periodization as of now. Much, however depends on what the test is. I just read something about a study comparing schemes in the neighborhood of 3x10 to failure beating a periodized routine of 3x10, 3x5, and 3x3. However, the test was more for muscular endurance, and that would have the 3x10 group doing more work in that range. If it was for 1 RM, I'm sure the periodized group would have won.The proposal you make is hard in so many respects. What I envision is that the difference would be so small between Bulgarian and Soviet style that a conclusion may not be drawn. When the difference between 1 set vs. 3 sets is sometimes barely noticeable, I could see no statistical difference resulting. What I think some strength coaches are doing is going on benefit of the doubt. If something has rarely, if ever, shown to be worse, then they go with it. Because, you will never be doing worse with that choice. The question becomes about how much better. I've seen periodization win by 7% and some 1%. I can't recall seeing periodization beat in a non-controversial study.
I am so stoked right now, we just had 3 more guys join the team yesterday. That brings our numbers up to 40! This is awesome, it makes it crazy in the weight room because we only have so many platforms but it is a lot of fun. The head coach is looking into buying some more platforms and bars to accommodate the increase in guys. I am loving it. We are putting together a meet in May. Right now we have 1 other school involved that has committed 20 guys and we are talking to another interested school. If we can get half of our guys to go and the third school involved we could have a decent sized meet.

Published March 1, 1998.
We wanted to develop a chicken and rice recipe that would give us a dish that was moist, flavorful, and clean-tasting as well as easy to make. To avoid overcooked breast meat, we simply added it to the pot about 15 minutes after the legs went in. To avoid heavy, greasy rice we reduced the amount of liquid (a combination of white wine and water) added to the rice. Although we tried (and liked) basmati rice in our chicken and rice recipe, we settled for long grain rice as being most appropriate for this wholesome, satisfying dish.
Though we rarely suggest stirring rice while it cooks, in this dish it is necessary, or the top layer might dry out or be undercooked. If you prefer, substitute two pounds of breast meat or boneless thighs for the pieces of a whole chicken.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).

In Advanced Encryption Standard, If I used "Counter Mode", in it's nonce value, what should I do?
ex. should I divide the nonce value into two? ex. I have 128-bit of nonce, should I divide it from two? that will turn into 64-bit each?
the first 64-bit is my chosen nonce value.. ex: a0a1a2a3a4a5a6a7 and the second 64-bit is the counter... ex: 0000000000000001
is this correct?
in the sequence of the counter, how is it really works?
ex. 0000000000000001, 0000000000000002, ... 000000000000000f, 0000000000000010, 0000000000000011, .......... 00000000000000ff
is this also correct?
Follow-up question: after 00000000000000ff, what is the next counter value? is it 000000000000ff00? and then 000000000000ff01, 000000000000ff02, 000000000000ff03, 000000000000ff04?

Jesus says to pray. Jesus says not to look over there. Jesus says to be nice. Jesus says to get up early and read your Bible. Lots of people think Christianity is all about doing what Jesus says. But what if doing what Jesus says isn't what Jesus says to do at all? Regardless of what you believe. Regardless of how you behave. Jesus invites you to . . . follow him.
Religion says, Change and you can join us. Jesus says, Join us and you will change. There's a huge difference. Jesus doesn't expect you to be perfect. He just wants you to follow him. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify you from following him. Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify you from following him. In fact, following almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step.
Sure, we want to follow Jesus, but where is he leading? What is the payoff to following him? Is it being a better person? Is it life in Heaven after we die? Is it a pain-free life? If you follow Jesus, you will be a better person. If you follow him, you will go to Heaven. If you follow him, you won't have a pain-free life. But that's okay because Jesus offers much morea faith so strong it frees us from fear.
Everyone is invited to follow Jesus. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify you. Being a doubter doesn't disqualify you. The goal of following Jesus is a faith that overcomes fear of the future or our current circumstances. It's a faith that gives us peace. But what do people who follow Jesus look like? What do they wear?
During his time on earth Jesus invited misbehavers and unbelievers to follow him. We are all invited to follow him. You are invited to follow him. But there's something you need to know about following Jesus. It will cost you something eventually. It may cost you money, career advancement, or even relationships. That's because Jesus offers us the choice of denying ourselves now or losing ourselves later. But you'll find that when you pay the price for following Jesus, you'll be glad you did.
Most of us don't become Christians with the intent of following Jesus. We become Christians because we were told obedience pays and disobedience doesn't. We become Christians hoping that spirituality will fill a hole in our souls. We become Christians hoping God will fix us or fix someone we know. Eventually, our agendas clash with Jesus' and we have to decide whether we'll abandon him or follow.
We don't usually associate leadership with the church. Leadership is about what could and should be. We assume the church is about what has been. But Jesus was the greatest leader who ever lived. He modeled a unique approach to leadership that defies our expectations but changed the world. Jesus leveraged his authority for the benefit of those under his authority. Following Jesus means that, when we find ourselves in positions of authority, we do the same.

DETROIT — Al Alburquerque reached out and snagged a sharp grounder to the mound — then planted a little kiss on the ball before tossing it to first.
The relieved reliever gave his Detroit teammates a reason to laugh in ninth inning of a tight game. Moments later, the Tigers were celebrating.
Don Kelly scored the tying run on a wild pitch in the eighth, then hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth that lifted the Tigers over the Oakland Athletics 5-4 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series.
Detroit overcame three A's leads and seesawed to victory. It was 1-all before a wild final three innings that included a key error by Oakland center fielder Coco Crisp, two game-tying wild pitches and several momentum changes.
Alburquerque kept it tied in the ninth when he got Yoenis Cespedes to hit a comebacker with men on first and third and two outs. He gave the ball a quick smooch before throwing underhand to first.
"I just did it," he said. "It was the emotion of the game. I wasn't trying to be a hot dog."
Oakland outfielder Josh Reddick wasn't thrilled.
"We didn't appreciate that. I thought it was immature and not very professional," Reddick said. "You don't do that on the field. Save it for the dugout. That's all I'm going to say."
Detroit will go for a sweep of the division series matchup in Game 3 on Tuesday at Oakland.
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera doubled twice for the Tigers, hit a fly ball that Crisp dropped for two runs and later singled in the ninth. Continued...
It was the sixth straight postseason loss for the A's, all to Detroit. The Tigers swept Oakland in the 2006 AL championship series, winning the series on Magglio Ordonez's homer in Game 4 — which was Detroit's last sudden-death postseason win before Sunday.
Omar Infante and Cabrera hit back-to-back singles off Grant Balfour with one out in the ninth. With runners on first and third, Prince Fielder was intentionally walked, bringing up Kelly, who had stayed in the game as the designated hitter after pinch-running the previous inning.
"Was looking for a fastball and I got it," Kelly said. "It's a great feeling, to be able to go out there in that situation and do that."
Kelly's fly to right was plenty deep enough to score Infante without a play at the plate. It was another big playoff moment for Kelly, who hit a home run last year when the Tigers beat the New York Yankees in the decisive fifth game of the division series.
A favorite of manager Jim Leyland, Kelly hit .186 during the regular season but made the postseason roster as a pinch-running option who can also play any position in the field.
"It takes everybody to contribute and we got contributions from everybody," Leyland said.
Alburquerque missed most of the season after offseason surgery on his throwing elbow. He came on to face Cespedes with the Tigers in a jam, and that one out was enough to earn him the win.
And the right-hander entertained his teammates in the process with a bit of, um, comic relief.
"We were cracking up in the dugout," Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer said. "We were like, 'Did he really just kiss the ball?' ... Alburquerque does some crazy things on the mound."
It was tied at 4 after both teams made their share of mistakes in the seventh and eighth. Cliff Pennington gave the A's the lead with an RBI single in the seventh, but Crisp dropped Cabrera's two-out flyball in the bottom half, allowing two runs to score. Continued...
Oakland tied it in the eighth on a wild pitch by Joaquin Benoit, and Reddick followed with a solo homer to give the A's a 4-3 lead. Then it was Ryan Cook's turn to throw a tying wild pitch, allowing Kelly to score.
Pennington nearly came through again for Oakland in the ninth, but his deep drive down the left-field line was just foul.
"We just need to win a game," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "If you start thinking about three games ahead, you lose your focus on Tuesday's game."
On a drizzly day at Comerica Park, the Tigers and A's were sloppy with the game on the line.
With runners on first and second and two out in the seventh, Cabrera lifted a fly to center. Crisp, charging hard, tried to make a basket catch but bobbled the ball. He nearly recovered to make a falling grab, but the ball popped out of his glove and the Tigers took a 3-2 lead.
"I saw it come off the heel of my glove, and I tried to grab again," Crisp said. "I even went for it barehanded, but I couldn't get it."
Cespedes led off the eighth with a single and stole second and third. With one out and the infield in, Benoit threw a wild pitch to allow the tying run. The worst was still to come for the Detroit reliever, who allowed Reddick's homer to right that put Oakland ahead 4-3.
Reddick had struck out in all six at-bats in the series before that.
Oakland again gave up the lead immediately. The A's have taken the lead four times in this series, but on each occasion they failed to hold it through the bottom half of the inning.
Doug Fister allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for Detroit, striking out eight. Rookie Tommy Milone was impressive for the A's, allowing a run and five hits in six innings. He struck out six. Continued...
Fister gave the A's trouble early with his slow, sweeping breaking ball, but Oakland hit four singles in the third. Crisp's slow roller to third turned into an infield hit when Cabrera threw wide to first. Stephen Drew struck out looking — and had words for plate umpire Mark Wegner — but Cespedes followed with a run-scoring single.
Oakland nearly scored again on a single to right by Brandon Moss, but rookie Avisail Garcia threw Crisp out at home.
The A's showed frustration with the plate umpire during Game 1, and that spilled over to Sunday. Reddick struck out looking for the third out of the third and threw his bat away immediately. Wegner took off his mask and stared at the Oakland hitter as he headed back toward the dugout, but the situation didn't escalate.
Cabrera hit a one-out double in the bottom of the third — to the same spot in left-center as his double in the first. He went to third on a single by Fielder and scored on a dribbler by Delmon Young that was too slow to be a double play.
Milone retired 10 in a row, starting with Young's RBI groundout.
NOTES: Balfour was charged with the loss. ... Oakland has struck out 23 times in the first two games. ... Benoit allowed 14 homers during the regular season, easily his most since 2004, when he spent some time as a starter. ... The A's are hoping LHP Brett Anderson is healthy enough to start Game 3 against Anibal Sanchez. Anderson missed the last couple weeks of the regular season because of a strained right oblique.
