Series Notes

- AJ Burnett was originally going to start on Friday, but he had to pitch in an extra innings game on Wednesday, so he's been pushed back to Sunday...

- No Roy Halladay, thank God, he owns the Tigs

- In all 3 of Kenny Rogers starts, the Tigers have been shutout.

Purcey?

The ol' poopshoot is gonna take one tonight.

By a guy named Purcey, too.

Yes, we shall lose.

Happy Birthday Miguel Cabrerra. Now go hit a homerun.

Good win tonight. Cabrera has been hitting the hell out of the ball as of late.

This would have been a TOUGH one to lose with all those runners on in the first 3 innings and only scoring 1.

The offense is still sputering. Hard to say that scoring 8 but this game could have easily been a 12-4 type game.

Gotta be now.

Yup, it's official. This is the first "Leyland Sunday Lineup" of the season.

Clete Thomas, CF
Ivan Rodriguez, C
Carlos Guillen, DH
Magglio Ordonez, RF
Miguel Cabrera, 1B
Jacque Jones, LF
Edgar Renteria, SS
Ryan Raburn, 2B
Brandon Inge, 3B

Bench- Sheffield, Santiago, Polanco, Thames

Nate Robertson, P

That's 2 straight for Placido, I hope he's ok.

Is it his back again?

Anybody want to tell me what the fucking deal with FSN is?

Back on...it's about time. I missed 1.2 innings because of that!

Placido has a back

Toronto Vajayjays tie it at 2.

Fuggin Nate. If our bats get going, 3 runs will be nothing.

Pistons and Wings to look forward to.

:howdidwegetminer:

It's not very fun being a Tigers fan right now.

Ladies and gentlemen, your Detroit Tigers...

Placido has a back
Good to know. I do as well. I have something in common with a professional athlete!

Why is Jones batting 6th? Just walk Cabrera and double them up.

El Gato Grande is off to a nice start it seems.

:bigleaguechew:

Blue Jays going to get it up the ol' poopshoot on local television.

Raburn 'em

lol @ that throw.

But I'm sure many of the long-time posters aren't laughing with me.

It sort of feels like the BJs are just dicking around today and giving "us" a head start.

^ Good one.

Whoa.

That was all totally unintentional, seriously.

Must have dick on the brain today.

I did watch Superbad the other night...

Many of the long-time posters here know what you mean, Glenn.

Galarraga for CY YOUNG

With all this talk about BJs, I could go for a steak right about now.

They put up four big ones...

The Tigers have 2 quality starts so far this year.

Nice.

Galarraga has one of them.

No other team has fewer than 8.

I agree with Glenn.

If Galaraga continues this kind of play throughout the whole year, I say make him the 5th starter and move Nate to Closer/Setup.

Dontrelle needs to lose 10 lbs before we do that though. I'm convinced that's his problem.

I've mentioned this before, but I think about half the roster is too heavy.

They need Arnie Kander.

or :BARWIS:

Yeah, he does look a bit... how do you say...

fat.

They need BARWIS.

What they need is to sit down on a stationary bike. That thing works wonders.

Oh and stay away from their "Everyday McDonalds"[smilie=r].

Sometimes I wonder how Eckstein is able to get the ball to first.

MoTown night on Wednesday Night.

'Bout time....


:motown owns:

I like this Galalalalalara guy.

MoTown night on Wednesday Night.

'Bout time....


:motown owns:

Maybe WTF should make Wednesday "MoTown Day" as well.

I'm just sayin'...

The hell was Eckstein sprinting to first for after he got walked?

The hell was Eckstein sprinting to first for after he got walked?


I think Pete Rose used to do that.

That might even be where "Charlie Hustle" came from.

That ball's not too good for his home.

Edgar is definitely using HGH.

lol @ that throw.

But I'm sure many of the long-time posters aren't laughing with me.
I was in class (still am), what happened?

Just a shitty throw by Rios for home plate that was way off.

Another great outing by Galakillimanjaro...worked through a couple innings where he put guys on, which he didn't have to do in the last game vs. Cleveland (if I recall).

Sweet AB, Maggs.

I was in class (still am), what happened?

Say hi to Kelsey for me. 7

How long will they keep running Jacque Jones out there? (.178)

I'd rather see JJ than Thomas. That guy obviously can't defend center field.

Craig Monroe hit higher than .178, and look what happened to him.

JJ probably hasn't shoplifted any belts, though.

His middle name probably isn't Keystone either.

What do you think, Wil?

I think Jacque will get chances at least up until the ASB before they think about releasing him. The only "excuse" he has is he's not really getting consistent AB's since he's in a platoon w/ Thames, but at this point neither have done anything spectacular.

I wish it were possible to move Miggy in LF and keep Inge at 3rd, but I don't think that's an option.

I say Jacque stays on the team all season, he's still an above average defensive outfielder, but he has almost no trade value, whereas Thames does if we had to make a move come deadline.

also, props to Aqulino Lopez, Clay Rapada, and Denny Bautista, all 3 have been outstanding this season...

Zach Miner, not so much

2 quality starter through 20 games...

no other AL team has less than 8...

WOW

Jones is in.

Consider this a done deal.

Whoops.

lol

roflcopter

I'm going to the loller rink and going lollerskating!

A little easier to laugh with a 4 run lead.

Looks like the reverse psych doesn't work for Jonesy.

What does?

*jumps up and bumps Glenn*

Mags with the grab. Clete would have effed that all up.

Add Grandy subtract Thomas

And now the 7-13 Tigers host the 7-13 Texas Rangers.

That just makes no sense.

sorry, slow day

It just seems so wrong.

[smilie=banned.gif]?

Girl on the right: I'd hit it.

:cogent:

He's back down to earth now. At least his "fluke run" lasted longer than Brent Clevlen's back in '06.

Armandomania is here!
