Minnesota: 6-6
Detroit: 2-10

Gm 1: 7:05 PM EST, FSN+, Jeremy Bonderman (1-1) Vs. Nick Blackburn (0-1)

Gm 2: 7:05 PM EST, FSN+, Nate Robertson (0-1) Vs. Scott Baker (2-0)

Both games on FSN+

Guillen may miss both games with his sore hammy...

We have to start hitting soon, what better time against a very suspect starting rotation?

I wish we were facing Livan Hernandez during this series, he's the type of pitcher we need to face to help break out of this hitting slump...

The only people keeping "us" in this hitting slump are "ourselves."

Though I agree, shitty pitchers would help.

Why am I watching this?

Craig Monroe's a Twin, isn't he?

Anyone else having problems with FSN+? It's randomly cutting out.

I'm about to turn the son of a bitch off

A Tigers mistake ends up biting them in the ass...hmm, where have I seen this before?

Fuckin pudge... Absolutely nothing going well for us so far this year.

I miss Grandy...

The reason I'm watching the Tigs is so I don't miss the meltdown by a yet to be determined player or coach.

Someone BETTER go off here pretty quick. Beat the piss out of the dug out or something, get in a fight, punch somethign.

Jacque Jones is shit-terrible.

Where did they say Rodney had to go/do?

I'm gonna watch some hockey...

yes, hockey...

Leyland went off last night I thought I heard.

We are going to lose this game.

Not only that. We are going to get shut out. Again. Yikes.

Leyland went off last night I thought I heard.

Yeah, he did. Don't know what was said though.

Obviously it hasn't ingespired them...

Leyland went off last night I thought I heard.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I want footage. I want Rod and Mario to speechless at what they are seeing. I want it on Sports Center.

thx btw vin.

He said the problem was that we weren't hitting and that chemistry was a class, baseball chemistry is bullshit.

YEA A DOUBLE! with 2 friggin outs.

Looks like Guillen aggravated the hammy a bit.

Jacque Jones is going to have to be done away with...

Whew...cleat...that was ... kind of not very good.

3 more errors so far today. We're leading the league in errors, runs allowed, grounding into double plays, losses, and fewest runs scored.

The Tigers have scored THREE RUNS! Groundbreaking

Timely hitting...what a concept.

figures, lefty can't do his job

Jacque Jones is going to have to be done away with...

I'm pretty sure Thomas has secured his spot when Grandy returns.

Ah, screw the Tigers. I'm sick of wasting my time paying attention to this crap. Someone PM me if they get their act together. I'll be in the Pistons forum.

Oh, good, Beltran's in.

Gum time.

God, I hate Pat Neshek.

Well, I didn't get a PM, but I've got be around for rally time.

Come on, just put it in the outfield, deep!!

This may be the game to turn us around. assuming we win...hopefully

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, BABY!!

Is Todd Jones up in the pen? I'm using MLB gamecast.

Thomas trying to make up for his error??? Great hit.

Restoring the Roar.

Holy shit, this is great.

One game, but I hope this is a sign of things to come...

Win or lose, it looks promising.

I would've ERUPTED if that was a HR.

The Tigers stole the Red Wings mojo.

They can keep it if they win

Let's do it, Jonesy, you silly bitch!

One more out!!

Cabrera couldn't have made that throw.

Crap, now I'm scared.

The feeling is mutual.

Shit now I am double scared.

In true Todd Jones fashion...

No problem.

Now Nick "Murder Tigers" Punto is up

yyyeaahhh!

BALLGAME

RAYBURN

Damn tigers sucked the life out of the wings for this win.

Amazing victory. Phenomenal. Just absolutely tremendous.

Now we're setting ourselves up to lose 10-0 tomorrow...

What's the chances the Tigers get shut out again tomorrow?

What a great win! It wasn't pretty, but to come back from such a huge hole is phenomenal. Minny is no pushover, either.

100%

I missed an incredible Tigers comeback to watch the Wings self-destruct. Maybe I wouldn't be so pissed off if I hadn't stayed up until 4:30 in the fucking morning too.

Floodgates opened.

True fan...nothing Walmart about this guy.

2 reciever TIVO is awesome btw.

Like bukdow, I am a true believer.

Beltran with the W and some offensive production from where we expected it to come from...for a change.

I'll tell ya what though, Delmon Young looks like a heckuva player.

I have a MANCRUSH on Sheffield.

He looks like a str8 killa even without the goatee.

This is all Leyland. He finally did the rant that we were all waiting for last night.

I hope this is just the beginning.

I hope we follow it up tomorrow...man a 2 game winning streak would be f-ing sweet!

Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you like to be entertained either way), I think we're going to get a lot of these games this season.

Yeah, it's going to be a painful/entertaining summer.

That was a helluva game last night.

Is it me, or do about 80% of the Tigers players look fat?

Hey, don't look now, but with a win today the Tigers would be 4-3 in their last 7!

and 4-10 in their last 14...

That was a helluva game last night.

You're just used to looking at the perfect physique of Rodney Stuckey. Compared to him, everybody looks fat.

Somehow in the 2 game series Vs. Cleveland, we get Sabathia & Carmona...might as well face them both now while they're struggling...

meanwhile, we will send out Galarraga and Verlander...I'll do the OST tomorrow w/ more info

Man...if they get shut out tonight, it would REALLY kill me inside.

well, scott baker has given us fits in the past, especially last year, even though we beat him a couple times, we struggled scoring runs Vs. him...

First pitch by Nate, ground rule double.

Ugh.

Steals third.

Off to a great start here with runners ATC with no outs.

Hopefully, he can K Mauer and then get a DP by Morneau...best case scenario

1-0, god damnit...nates ERA goes up again...

Bats are coming around

1-1 Tigers :)

Sheff with the bomb...btw.

I've seen Nate throw some of his best pitches tonight, then I've seen him throw in a year.

Now...to do that consistently.

So should I be watching the Tigers or the Pistons tonight? :)

Over/under on how many innings for Nate tonight?

I'll go with 5 1/3

So should I be watching the Tigers or the Pistons tonight? :)

2 receiver TIVO...watch them both.

I'll take the over.

I watch the games via Slingbox connected to one of my parents' tvs. Technically I could play with the DVR on the TV but I think I'd mess it up and piss off one of the rents. On nights when two Detroit teams are playing playoff games I take my laptop home. My uncle has a slingbox too and I'll have one game on the desktop and another on the laptop.

Under.

I'll say he goes 6...if he could go 7 that'd be awesome.

Yeah, cuz that would bring us to our setup, Denny Bautawesome!

compared to how our other relievers have been this year, Denny is Dennis Eckersley...

Doh...forgot about your locatioin.

Is it just me or is Detroit pretty lucky with its TV announcers in both baseball and basketball.

fuck, 2-1....god all the twins do is play small ball

when McLeod left, we got lucky in basketball...but yeah, I enjoy our hometown pairs

compared to how our other relievers have been this year, Denny is Dennis Eckersley...

I know..

Doh...forgot about your locatioin.

Well, I can at least flip between the two games. I'm thinking Tigers when they bat and Pistons when they pitch.

2-1 Twinkieboppers, fuck a Tolbert.

Tom Tolbert was terrible too

A Lopez should be ready for a couple innings too...me thinks. Or did he get in last night....never mind.

Chauncey! ...oops wrong thread. This is going to get confusing.

^ saw it. Loved it. Hoop and some harm

We are getting 1-hit right now.

Stuckey with another great drive and finish.

lol stfu, go to NBA

See. I'd already flipped back to the Tigers and missed that. But we do have 2 on base.

A combined Pistons/Tigers OGT could be interesting some night.

GOD DAMNIT MARCUS

ugh...how we didn't get a run that inning...god what a joke...

DAMNIT ALL THROWING AWAY OPPORTUNITIES

A combined Pistons/Tigers OGT could be interesting some night.

Well tomorrow night I don't get the Tigers it seems. If I understood Mario correctly Dish won't be covering the game due to a lack of alternate channels (and how the hell do they not free one up in Detroit for the Tiger).

Done.

51/3 interesting number who knows

Oof. Seems I was better off with the Pistons. How'd they get 2 more?

Over/under on how many innings for Nate tonight?

I'll go with 5 1/3

:cogent:

He should be hooked right now.

Being afraid to go to this bullpen (rightfully so) is going to cost us 10 games or so this year.

Morneaume Run

I bet C-Mo stole that belt he's wearing.

God.

Polanco needs to f-ing wake up and hit.

I bet C-Mo stole that belt he's wearing.


Ha. Nice.

Mags on the first pitch hits a dinger. 4-2 them

If we could win again today...

If we can just hand it off to Jonesy with the lead, we'll be fine.

A homer, by Pudge no less (really shouldn't have happened), sparked them last night...I imagine one by Magglio carries a little bit of inspiration.

:cogent:

Was part of the reason that I was so Cogent in taking the over.

But he comes out with an injury?

I imagine one by Magglio carries a little bit of inspiration.

?

lol. ANOTHER INJURY?!

This is getting to be rigoddamndiculous!

Are we going to have to suffer through "May in the D", "June in the D"...etc?

Aqua Man in the hizzouse.

?

Well, last I checked, Inge isn't playing. There's a difference between inspiration and ingespiration.

A Lopez should be ready for a couple innings too...me thinks. Or did he get in last night....never mind.

he da man

Anybody got any gum?

So what was Nate's injury?

Aqua Man in the hizzouse.

I asked the same thing the other night...I think it was in the Things that suck thread...can't remember.

So what was Nate's injury?

Stubbed his Vagina

HR for CG

Guillen goes deep, this one is over fellas. We're Twin killing.

I'm posting under protest.

When I have time I'll find my original post that introduced that nickname to the WTF world.

Gotta love these solo home runs!

Go ahead and protest, Glenn. I came up with that nickname in the White Sox thread, before you even knew who the guy was.

Inge = ying
Aqua Man = yang

At least we're not sucking donkey dick like we were.

10 Big Myths about copyright explained

1) "If it doesn't have a copyright notice, it's not copyrighted."
This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for other people's works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise. There are some old works that lost protection without notice, but frankly you should not risk it unless you know for sure.

You obviously forgot about the Berne copyright convention.

MoTown disagrees, therefore you are wrong.

http://www.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/culture/2006/05/23/Aquaman.jpg

And by the way, I'm sure ^ THIS GUY ^ isn't too pleased with you stealing HIS name and giving it to somebody else.

What'd they just say Robertson's injury was?

Yep, MoTown's got it right.

:motown owns:

"Clay Rapada"

THE LAW > MOTOWN

However, MOTWON > THE LAW

MoTown IS the law...whachoo talkin' 'bout, Dontrelle?

Robertson, injured back?

Go Pistons!

Rapada with a nifty effort

"Clay Rapada"


What does a fishing lure have to do with anything?

Clete needs a nickname, but I can't think of anything that'll work for him.

Clay Rapada just looks like a Tiger.

Uhhhh...

Clit? strikes out

Now would be good, Polanco.

Clete "Headed back to the minors as soon as Granderson get's back so no need for a creative nickname" Thomas?

Works for me.

Let's go Gahry!

I like it, Vin.

You know a player won't last long when you can't think of a good nickname for them.

He'll prolly waste another one here

BIG break.

Now let's watch them find a way to fuck this up. I'm guessing a pop up by Sheff, then a groundout on the first pitch.

I'll take it. Nice lil error there.

We'll call him "Headed back to the minors as soon" for short.

Sheff needs to change his strategy here...good luck with that btw

Hit it into the outfield Gary...Come on now...

That pitch wasn't all the way a strike.

Wow, that looked like strike 3.

Mags will pick him up

fuck

USE THE HAIR, MAGGS

yeaaaaaaa boi

Thank gawd. I was hoping that jackass Douche` would be wrong, and sure enough he was.

ydzzzddz

yes!

Or as a man not laying down with a laptop would write it, yesss!

Booyashaka!

Cabrera should've probably been on base twice in this game, so he's having a decent outing today IMO. I'm thinking a HR to centerfield.

Show your worth Miguel!

It'd be nice if Cabs could heat up a lil bit

YESSIR@!

FUCK YEAH!!

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I THINK I JUST PEED A LITTLE

YESS!

HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE IS!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a!!!!!!!!!!!

THATS SHOWIN YOUR WORTH BUDDY! FUCK YEAH!

TIME FOR TODD JONES, YES!

Let's get this tea ready fast...

There's the over 9.5, as well.

I'm going to ask my mom for a Tiger for my birthday.

If she says yes, I'm going to name him Miguel!

strike 1!

1 down!

Raburn OWNS.

A great catch in two straight games, but WTF? They called it a drop.

Well, Rod says it's a drop, and you can't disagree with Rod. Good call, I guess.

wait what happened? stupid gamecast

shit, now we're in for it.

Good play by Jones. Not just because he caught it, but because he checked off the runner first.

Ha. Jonesy would thrill you like that.

Jonesy leaving em up, scarin me lots

Man, imagine if the Tigers hold on, the Pistons win (going to happen), and Michigan is able to beat Florida.

Hold your horses, Monroe with the RBI. I believe with that one he has already surpassed last season's total.

shitshitshistshit

That run should be unearned...Raburn should've gotten an E

man Raburn should be a mandatory fixture in all Todd Jones save opportunites

man Raburn should be a mandatory fixture in all Todd Jones save opportunites

lol, yep.

Saved Jones' ass last night and possibly tonight.

if Boston hangs on, and we hang on, we will be just .5 games behind Cleveland...

Yeah, Raburn clearly can't play the OF. Surprised we didn't put Inge in instead. He almost cost us last night with the terrible route he took.

Jones being worn down like one of my hos.

Blasphemy. He's got the kid right where he wants him...

ugh...Yes

Ump appears to be working TJ on the Gamecast.

Love it

Done.

Never doubt!

YAY!

Blasphemy.


Looks like I really am going to Hell, because I believe right after that was posted he got him.

Good win! Glad I saw it.

Bring on Cleveland.

ZEKYL, WE COMIN FO YOU!

We'll call him "Headed back to the minors as soon" for short.

How about just "As Soon As"?

I'm hoping Nate kind of bottomed out and is on his way back to respectable outings. He threw some nice pitches.

sorry Vinny, but that just isn't right
