fuck inge. 0-3. no power. his "play" in the 9th is gonna get changed to an error. an error that probably costs us the game.

high tide, i couldnt stand the guy. but he's flat out terrible now. no upside.

im frustrated over mags as well, but atleast with him you can hope he ragains his form. inge is an awful contact hitter, with no power, and his defense is officially below average now. he's arguably worse than neverhitt last year.

also, not sure what santiago has to do to get into the regular rotation. we have nothing at 2nd but him and leyland refuses to play him 2 times in a week.

also, they had an awesome display comparing granderson's swing this year and last. night and day how much NY has cleaned it up. watching his swing from last year, you'd have thought the tigers didnt have a hitting coach while curtis was here.

i've always hated the tigers uber aggressive batting strategy, but watching that and it appears theres plenty more to gripe about.

/rant

inge is 10th worst ops of all everyday players in the mlb. 1/2 the guys below him are in severe slumps. in a month, he'll likely be among the 5 worst. i think 5 worst batters in the AL would be a fair assessment.

of course, the guys who have that bad of bats usually are atleast + gloves. inge is hurting us there, too.

the only good thing that his sucktitude is so great that DD has no choice, and inge will finally be forced out. if we can get wright from the mets, get er done.

Don't think I watched more than a minute of this.

I could go to the Yanks/Tigs game with my dad on wednesday, but I think I'm just going to suggest we stay home...

Was it from 2 years ago? Granderson was on the Yankees last year.

Sizemore didn't play for Toledo tonight, move coming?

Guess so, I just looked. Rhymes out, Sizemore in. Victor is also on rehab in Toledo, should be back this week.

Was it from 2 years ago? Granderson was on the Yankees last year.

it was 2010 and 2011, but i think the implication is that it took them some time to clean up his swing. i cant overstate this. he's got arod swing up there, before it he was just an absolute mess.

to me it was far more of an indictment on the tiger's coaches than the fact that no one is willing to draw a walk on this team, and pitchers sometimes take 60 throws to get through 9 innings on us.

I think you're forgetting how well Granderson hit for the Tigers for the most part. He's definitely been hitting lefties so far this year though, which has never really happened before.

lefties!

yea, but he seemed to get worse as a batter, not better. his ops for this year is 40 pts higher than granderson's best year in detroit (2007, where he was top 10 al-mvp voting, i believe). and right now hes only hitting 272. i expect him that number to rise.

i viewed the granderson trade, which i still like, was us giving up on him as a guy who had peaked and was in decline. turns out, he wasnt the problem.

SIZEMORE! BION, Vinny, I'm pulling for him.

More is NOT less.

Got damn, Miguel hammered that one. If this was Yankees Stadium...

Holy shit, even Magglio's got a hit.

If this was Yankee Stadium, Cabrera would be about tied with Bonds already.

lol, he's still lost. basically threw the bat at the ball.

If this was Yankee Stadium, Cabrera would be about tied with Bonds already.

lol, word. I can't dislike that park enough.

"Cough" or at least granderson "cough".

C.C. is a gay homo. I throw the C.C. in river.

sounds like the bopper is going to be in the 3 hole tonight, victor is back and 5th, mags demoted to 6th.

part of me likes it, part of me thinks boesch is gonna shit himself batting 3rd.

I hope not. That's #MyTiger

i hate that im always ragging on mags, but if nothing else, atleast boesch isnt going to be constantly grounding into dps in front of cabrerra.

If Avila can keep producing, this offense doesn't look half bad all of a sudden....Not necessarily half good either but you gotta take what you can get...

I will take an average offense at this point.

4-0 Tigers

Freddy is a joke. Didn't he pwn "us" a couple seasons ago with the Sox?

Scherzer wheeling and dealing like the Nature Boy. Wooooooo!!!!!

Stylin and profilin.

If Scherzer is Ric Flair, Awful Jackson is Paul Roma.

(nobody is going to get that one)

i didnt get that.

mags' dinger is nice. i like him alot in the 6 spot, even if he returns to form, just because i know his bat might get better but his speed wont, and he'll always hit into too many dps to bat in front of big mig. if bopper stays like this, he's ideal for 3rd, otherwise, gayburn. i dont know if this is possible, but i'd like to see santiago get a shot at 3rd. broken record about him getting more pt, but he couldnt possibly worse than inge.

our batting order is interesting. it seems like, we could field a very strong 1-9 lineup, but just as easily go back to miggy and the mudhens.

big mig's ops is 1100+ right now, btw. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

"He couldn't possibly be worse than Inge."

-word.

Went to the game last night, it was pretty fun.

boesch is 2 for 2 in productive at bats. had an rbi sac in the first, got on base on a throwing error. not watching, but i assume his speed helped.

also taking a ton of pitches.

Hey guys, Burnett has a no hitter going!

That's #MyTiger

RA-BIES! RA-BIES! RA-BIES!

WANKEES SUCK, WANKEES SUCK

Man, Burnett is a huge faggot.

I'VE BEEN TELLING Y'ALL NOT TO GIVE UP ON THIS TEAM

lol

lul

3 game winning streaks are better than 7 game losing streaks.

3 game winning streaks are better than 7 game losing streaks.

Yeah, right now we only have one of the two.

Also better than 3-game losing streaks. LOL @ the Wankees!!

is anyone watching this? watching gamecast on espn makes it look like the ump is squeezing schlereth.

yeah, watching. a couple questionable ones but they were right on the border

I really hate that bitch from the McDonalds sweet tea commercial, you guys.

Ahhvila

gamecast had 4 pitches that were in the middle of the strike zone called balls. never sure how accurate that thing is.

Avila has some sweet genes. His goatee is pretty cool

Valverde is a fatass

yeah, watching. a couple questionable ones but they were right on the border

Well it is Cinco De Mayo, you guys.
