J. Verlander vs. J. Weaver

I've got both Miller and Hernandez on my fantasy team, so I'm sitting Hernandez (I usually sit any SP facing the Tigers offense).

Too bad the first three games don't start until 10pm, I guess I'll be checking box scores and watching Sportscenter highlights the next few days.

Seems like its been forever since they've played.

Hopefully they can start the second half like they finished the first.

King Felix vs Andrew Miller should be a good matchup. Hopefully this one doesn't turn out to be like the Verlander vs Santana matchup.

And hopefully it does turn out like the Verlander/Sabathia matchup

Damn, Pudge just got the heave-ho. Fucking umps.

The batter clearly came across the plate and impeaded Pudge's throw to second. The ump is saying Pudge bumped him.

Wow.

These umps are horrible. How can they call Beltre safe?

Edit: Got the out on the appeal.

Great game for the Tig--oh, wait, they lost this one?

Guillen never tagged him, but that was interference. Sucky game all around, 1 play changed the entire game.

He did touch second and CG didn't tag him but he left the base line to avoid the tag, imo. I mean he was way out. If the ump would have called him out there the 3rd run wouldn't have scored on that play. So we got the out, but they got the run, which sucked.

We could have blown this thing out with some timely hitting.

I would give either of my nuts (not both) to have JJ Putz on the Tigers.

He did touch second and CG didn't tag him but he left the base line to avoid the tag, imo. I mean he was way out. If the ump would have called him out there the 3rd run wouldn't have scored on that play. So we got the out, but they got the run, which sucked.

He did tag him out after watching the video. He missed him twice at the bag but then clearly tagged him on the arm half way between second and third. Even Beltran said that he "might have been tagged" with a huge grin on his face. The umps blew it plain and simple on this one.

Werd. Fuck an ump.

Yeah, he hit Beltre on the elbow after missing him twice.

JL giving it to the umps while handing in the lineup card. Then he turned and walked away. JL must have still been buring about last nights game. Let it go JL, I lost 500 Aps last night on that travisty.

By the way, even though they nailed Beltre, they really didn't get the call right per say, because had the got it right sooner perhaps the 3rd and winning run doesn't score.
Horribly called game.

Meanwhile, tonight Washburn is striking us out at a disturbing rate. He's on pace for 18 K's if he pitches a CG.

The game against Jeff Weaver can't come soon enough...

Mr. GQ = My Tiger.

I love me some Gary Sheffield.

Nice Slam that the Shef just cooked up.

4-1 Tigs!

He's a bad boy. [Rod Allen voice]

And all of this is making me say lol @ Bobby Abreu. I guess this is what the Yanks get for treating Sheff differently.

Man these Seattle announcers are still talking about Pudge getting ran last night. They will not let it go. AND they are completely ripping the ump. They said last night and tonight that he didn't do it intentionally and if Pudge wanted to bump him, the ump would have known it.

I have to admit those Mariners uniforms are cool.

Nice throw and pic by Inge/Casey.

BTW, Miner pitching. Anyone remember how we acquired him? Did he come in a package? Is he the only one left in that trade?

Ok, its almost 9:30 and I'm about 30 minutes late meeting my buddies for a beer so i better get going. The game WILL NOT be on at the bar.

Go Tigers?

These games have seemed so long. Then again I am so used to the games starting at 7:05 every night.

Grandy goes yard with the first batter of the game. When Maybin makes it here, its going to be fun. It's not like left field isn't big, but I'm thinking if playing time is a problem between the 2, its a problem that DD will love to have.

That grand slam killed us, 2 runs out of that inning would have been manageable, but against Putz it aint happening.

A split would be nice. Let's crush this ugly mothrfucker.

Grandy with two hits, a stolen base, run scored. He is a walking stat sheet.

Hopefully he'll start stealing some bases because a 20 homer/20 double/20 triple/20 stolen base season would rock my world.

Nice 11 pitch at-bat for a walk by Magglio. Now start hitting some damn homers.

Wow.

Sean Casey with a SB!!!

THAMES!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for hitting on 3-0, Bloomquist(sp?).

Weaver looks like a pirate on gameday.

What is that, 3 wild pitches in one inning?

Sheff steals home after Guillen baits the catcher into trying to throw him off.

Don't know why there aren't more of those in baseball.

3 runs off 1 hit nonetheless

Just when I was complaining about Maggs crappy ass power the last month, he hits a homer.

Good game, both teams played hard.


Sike. Fuck Jeff Weaver.
