Gm 1: 4/16/08, 7:05 PM EST, FSN+, Armando Galarraga (0-0) Vs. CC Sabathia (0-3)

Gm 2: 4/17/08, 7:05 PM EST, FSND, Justin Verlander (0-2) Vs. Fausto Carmona (1-1)


CC's ERA is over 11, not a great way to start a contract year, maybe Armando can have some magic, but I think the bullpen could be worked a bit tomorrow...

I hate Zekyl, so a sweep would be wonderful.

I'll be happy with a split as well though.

No, I really don't hate you, Zek...

I hope the Tigers like the feeling of winning so they can continue it. Do it men.

This game is important so we have bragging rights over Zekyl.

I hope Zekyl doesn't have the balls to post in OUR thread.

You hear that???? Keep to your Cleveland thread, Zekyl! This is Tigers Country!

YEAH!

*rips off shirt to reveal an English D tattoo on his chest*

If I was there, I'd set that fucking river on fire again tonight.

Tigers sweep , all is right with the world
Tigers get swept, time to find something else to occupy the time. (maybe the insanely long NBA playoffs)

If I was there, I'd set that fucking river on fire again tonight.


Has anybody here ever been to the Jake?? I went about 4 years ago on a Friday night w/ my dad and we saw Nate Cornejo get lit up. I think Jody Gerut hit like 3 HR's that day...


That stadium has a funky smell to it.

I think our lineup at that time was...

C- Pudge
1B- Pena
2B- Vina
SS- Guillen
3B- Munson
OF- White
OF- Higginson
OF- Sanchez
DH- Meat Hook

Good to see I'm not the only one who watched the Tigers even in 04...

I used to work remotely from Cleveland. So anytime I had to go to corporate, it was in downtown Cleveland.

Thus the reason I hate that city.

Cleveland is a racist city.

Browns, Indians...c'mon.

FSN+: Home of the Tigers.

Well, I've got some business to attend to. See ya'll later (you too, Kelsey ;)).

Whats the weather like there Zek?

Cabs with an opposite field HR with Mags on. Sweet

Does anyone have Dish network? I can't seem to find the game and remember Mario saying something last night that they won't get it. Is that the case?

I love that our pitcher's a former Expo.

Armandomania is here!

Sheff and Mags fail to move PP up, but they'll get plenty of rbi's this year.

Cabs is about to be en fuego

3-1 Tigs

I have DTV DE

Miggs is a machine.

I'm not checking out Sabathia's backside or anything like that, but that was one helluva wedgie he had goin.

I like this pitcher. Galarraga.

3 MEN ON NO ONE OUT LET'S SEE HOW TO FUCK THIS UP

THAT MEANS DON'T FUCK UP PS

Cabs=en fuego

ERENT with a slam. YEA BABY

3 MEN ON NO ONE OUT LET'S SEE HOW TO FUCK THIS UP

lol just kidding this inning can be declared a moderate success already

O SHIT!

And Sabathia turned down a 4 year almost 18 million per year contract? Truth is he'll prolly get it.

Man did the Tigers tee up on him. Dish Network sucks, I can't believe they don't have the game. I'm telling my parents to change.

5 runs with no outs yet?

I like DTV. What I don't like about Dish is that they don't offer all the major sports packages. I think they do have the MLB but thats it. I could be wrong on that though.

Pudge not having a great night.

I think I'm gonna have to go to one of my old Tiger's boards. No offense DetroitExport.

Armandomania baby. Catch the fever.

I think I'm gonna have to go to one of my old Tiger's boards. No offense DetroitExport.

No problem. I've finally got the gamecast going from Espn. It's not watching the game but at least it's something.

My brother bought MLB Extra Innings(I think its called that). And he watches all the games on his computer.

I signed up for and paid for things like that until I got my parents (and my uncle) to get a slingbox. I went in for half on both boxes and haven't had to pay a dime in over 2 years now.

^ Thats right. I remember you talking about that.

So will you get the Wings game tonight?

Oh yeah. Watching Mickey break it down right now. I've even turned off the Tiger gamecast. It's the top game for the night.

Walk 'em loaded. Gotta love it. Let's shred their bullpen for tommorrow.

launching pad.

april dont matter!

Rod is wondering why Cleat hit for Thames...I'm thinking Grandy is ready to come back and he wants to give him(Cleat) some at bats in this 10-1 affair.

And walk one in too Vinny

how is 0-6 from your leadoff?

can we please call Armando "big cat"

launching pad.

april dont matter!

Agree. I always look at the all important loss column. Especially at the end of the year.

Right now we are 5 games behind CWS in the loss column. Thats not even a bad number coming into the last couple 3 weeks of the season.

We aren't going to set any win/loss records this year. Our goal is the WS.

i dont begrudge people getting down, high hopes and this start were a bad mix. but people went way overboard, we can make this thing up in weeks, and we have all year.

the only thing im down on is willis. everything else im still very optimistic for.

Yeah, thats a Craig Monroe outing.

I'm with you on Willis, I wish he would just go out there and pitch, but so far it's seemed like hes pitching with pressure, as if he has something to prove. The kid just needs to go out there and throw like he always has been. He doesn't need to rack up the K's, he's more than capable of being a fine ground ball pitcher. Hopefully it was just a premature start...

I'd like to see him make a rehab start or two before he rejoins the 25 man roster, just to get some confidence going...

it seems that the 'experts' are pretty much universally down on willis. hes been down trending for years, and now his weight seems to be affecting his delivery. he's still so young that anything can happen, but i dont have that billy mumphry style unbridled enthusiasm or cockeyed optimism.

that said, if he is an additional cost of getting cabrera, i guess its still a deal.

We are the shit.

We are the shit.

Funny what adding that lil 'the' does to that sentences meaning.

A week ago, we didn't need the 'the'

Feels good to not be on the receiving end of this kind of a beatdown.

Now we just need to figure out how to turn the table on the Sox.

I feel like I had time to build a house during these last 3 innings.

Try rallying from THIS, cocksuckers.

Grilli IS pitching

Not even The Cheeseman could fuck this one up.

This was beautiful, a true work of art.

I think we may not lose a single game in the Summer.

The best part about the Cheeseman going three tonight is that there's probably no chance we see him if it's close tommorrow.

Pudge left 10 guys on base today...

Man, if we sweep this two game series with Cleveland I'm going to be STOKED!

Fausto has walked 17 guys in 3 starts, and has only 8 K's...

Verlander is overdue big time for just a shutdown outing, he sorta had one in his last start, but he ended up being charged w/ 6 earned runs...

Hopefully fausto is off his game, his shit is nasty, he doesn't K' many ppl anyway, he just gets TONS of groundballs...

And hey, whaddya know, they're on FSN (not FSN+) today!

How many April in the D commericals will we see during the entire telecast?

12...13...40?

Well, I think we'll get only 14 more overall...

And then we get the May in the D!

6-10!!!!!!

"Progressive Park"? What is that shit? Fucking Cleveland.

It smells like fart in that ballpark.

I'm sure Selig was glad the WS didn't come there there, especially after what happened in the Yanks-Indians playoff game, with all the gnats.

Good AB by Thomas, 8 pitches.

Hey, if Ramon Santiago can get on vs. Fausto, I'm sure the big boys will have NO problem!

Rod Allen is the Big Gay Al of broadcasters.

Verlander not doing so well so far, it would appear.

Cleveland's varsity chump, Justin's JV...

wtf, com on JV.

If I were superstitious I would say that Rod jinxed JV getting a bit too excited about the first two outs.

Is there a likable player on that team?

G. Sizemore - Go trim your vagina hair
J. Carroll - Stop raping little boys
T. Hafner - Largest douche in the universe award
V. Martinez - Fuck off
J. Peralta - Jhonny? I hope your parents burned in a fire
R. Garko - I hate you because your name sounds too familiar
F. Gutierrez - Probably fucks really fat chicks
J. Michaels - cut your dreamy golden locks, fag
C. Blake - probably fucks really fat dudes

F. Carmona - WHAT IS SO INTERESTING IN YOUR GLOVE THAT YOU NEED TO LOOK IN IT BEFORE EVERY PITCH?
CC - Fat piece of shit
Byrd - You're the ugliest fucker on this planet. Why do you wind up like a chick?

Cleveland fans - you just booed your Cy Young winner.

Zekyl - You're cool. You can stay.

If Verlander didn't have a hot ass gf, I'd say he sucks the dick.

This is so fucking bush league.

Cleveland are a buncha punks.

Now these fucks are gonna pay.

FUCK, come on Gary, what was that!!

Wow, what a blown opportunity.

Miner blows minors.

Zack needs to go hang himself in the weight room like Chris Benoit.

^^Wow.

"Yuk it up Cleveland, we'll see you in Detroit!"

Everybody say goodbye to Zach Miner.

PLEASE let that be true...

Everybody say goodbye to Zach Miner.

DFA.

Miner is a GOD, and you will respect him as such!
Even if he's pitching like worthless shit.
