Wrong
Cueto, Volquez, Harang, Arroyo are the keys.
you guys sure know how to treat an iphoner
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
no shit. Couldn't even load
1st thread. And keyboard strokes have a delay. Sucks.
Skanberg, if I wanted to hear your opinion, I would have brainwashed you by now-
Don Guillote
all of a sudden the inside corner has dried up

Bautista's picture on yahoo
is frightening me with his crazy lips.

Bout time
to Sub in Anderson for defensive purposes. Move CQ over to RF and Swish to left.
your mom is better than dye defensively
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
more likely to give up a lead at this point
with a fuck-up in the field than with poor pitching. we don't need more runs at this point.
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
Oh, for a lockdown bullpen
I'd love to have one of those pens where the other team goes "oh sit" once you get to the 7th inning.
The Tigers system
has the opposite problem of ours. We cant seem to get any top prospects to come up and hit right away and the Tigers have no names who come up and hit the crap out of the ball then fade into nothingness. Which is better? I dont know.
Are you referring to Chris "The Babe" Shelton?
"You might be impressed with your analysis, but I am not. Stop wasting my time." - Chris De Luca
Among others
Like Craig "the bomber" Monroe.
Monroe was never good in the Majors or the Minors
And he was drafted by Texas. Not really sure where you are going with this.
"You might be impressed with your analysis, but I am not. Stop wasting my time." - Chris De Luca
Monroe was never good
He just hit lefties and righties stupid enough to throw him hanging sliders.

I think the "state" of this bullpen
will help MacDougal.
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
Ya think Detroit would trade us Clete Thomas for Jery Owens?
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
The question becomes:
can we split with Floyd and Buehrle against Verlander and Willis? I'd be very happy at 3-3 come Monday as I'm sure everyone would be.
it's not the best matchup, but it looks like our pen could even it out a bit
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Linebrink might be kinda good.....
maybe it wasn't just Petco.....
If he's reverses the peripheral trend
there's no doubt he'll be good. The numbers just didn't look like they were headed in the right direction
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Yeah, the true test is in the Cell
He's been giving up a dingers a lot more frequently the last few years
It may have been those terrible Brewers unis
but Linebrink looks thinner than I remember from last year when he was handing the division to the Cubs. Whatever it is, he needs to keep doing it. He's looked super.
Linebrink has some decent stuff Im comfortable saying
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
yay Todd Jones!
Detroit's answer to the Borowski Factor
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
with jenks and nathan and soria
uh, no
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
Ah
jenks and nathan are solid, I always forget about him. Soria hasnt done anything yet.
Jones and Borowski are terrible.
true
but i don't think soria is a flash in the pan. and he's come out this season guns blazing.
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
On the Royals
thats what he gets, if he was on the Yankees he would be Joba
i'm not sure how that's relevant
but okay.
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
maybe rock is back to his old, ahem, ways.

the NL Central has Gagne
even said. Wood sucks too. Matt Capps owns that division.

And even though Fireman Joe's ERA is huge and he is not dominating
He did convert 45 of 53 opportunities...
(numbers might be off a bit)
"You might be impressed with your analysis, but I am not. Stop wasting my time." - Chris De Luca
Damnit Joe I'm trying to like you
that's 4 pop outs in 4 games?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Linebrink looks
more like the guy who regained his K rate after being traded to milwaukee than the guy who lost his K rate in SD (although his ERA was better in SD, his K rate was better in Mil).
jeez. I trusted you guys with a 3 run
lead back in the 1st thread and you blew it in 5 minutes. Glad I'm back to protect this one (maybe with help from Big Boy).
Skanberg, if I wanted to hear your opinion, I would have brainwashed you by now-

dude 3 threads today, just to accomodate iPhone users
this place is downright hospitable

If Kenny were reading these comments right now...
with all the Linebrink love, I have a feeling he would be popping in Justin Timberlake's debut album and listening all night.
Or he might have a raging clue
"You might be impressed with your analysis, but I am not. Stop wasting my time." - Chris De Luca
I would have had no problem...
with the Linebrink signing if it was for one or even two years. Four years seemed a bit excessive.

South Park reference
"You might be impressed with your analysis, but I am not. Stop wasting my time." - Chris De Luca
the fact that you know that is frightening
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
Multiplatinum
never heard a song on it other than "rock your body," but him naming his album "justifie" was a joke in my circles for quite a while.
89 mph curve? Haha
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
i hate
players that choke up on the bat, just get a smaller bat retard.
Do these guys think that this facial hair LOOKS GOOD?
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
what would you think if you were looking at it
from the batter's box?
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
Oh, yeah.
Like 7' 11" Randy Johnson. No teeth, bad acne and that Nicholson borderline crazed look.
A point well taken.
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
i'm just saying, i don't know
the thought would cross my mind. maybe it doesn't cross a major leaguers mind. but i'd rather have them thinking about my ridiculous facial hair than what pitch i'm going to throw.

Don't order a black & tan in Ireland
That's what the English headbusters were called that were sent in to break up the revolt after WWI, they used "extralegal" means - the Irish have verrrrrry long memories. I made the mistake once and got some extremely nasty looks up and down the bar, I had to ask a friendly civilian afterwards "what'd I do? what'd I do?"

Talk to Larry.

Four pitch walk to bring the tying run to the plate?

To bring the tying run to the plate with 2 outs in the ninth?

You never, ever...
pitch around a batter to bring up the tying run. There's no sense to it.

ozzie
is scared of Miggy. Has too much respect for him.
thank you.

i know the rule
but renteria or cabrera? to get a force? maybe. i wouldn't fight it too hard.
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
Either way...
Renteria has to get on base for the Tigers to win. Cabrera's a good hitter, but there's a chance you can get him out.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 4, 2008 3:18 PM CDT up reply actions
remember
Ozzie thinks very highly of Miggy. He's probably going to pitch around him alot this season.
that will be a mistake. you don't give away bases with 2 outs in the 9th to bring the tying run to the plate.

Like teams did to Bonds
ozzie will do to Miggy.
(a) cabrera does not have the platoon advantage over jenks; (b) cabrera ain't bonds yet...not even close.

not to mention...
check out miggy's late & close & 9th inning splits for his career. and don't forget that he's nursing an injury.

not a fan of excitement?
JD is the man. for now
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
NICE JD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You might be impressed with your analysis, but I am not. Stop wasting my time." - Chris De Luca
Nice
JD just barely got his glove hand out of the way before his body crushed it.
That could have easily been
triple #2 to RF OR an inside the parker.
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
Awwwww yeaaaaah
JD is one smooooth-
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
umm...
description of JD's play please for those of us still at work (I know... I know... 3:15 on a Friday... slave-drivers!)
low looper from Eenteria that JD made one his patent awkward diving catches on
he almost landed on his gloveweirdly but managed not to.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Carlos Quentin
I want this guy in the lineup everyday. His bat makes alot of difference for the bottom of the lineup. I really want to see BA get a taste of CF and Give JD the DH duties against Willis.
Hey, you get your chance you gotta jump on it
He's doing it, keep going Carlos! Alexei had 2 games and it was adios for him.
He's just flat out a good hitter
and plays plus defense
I'd like to see Jose on a short leash too
They can't just keep running him out there if he pitches like today, I don't care how much he's earning.
he kepts us in the game. And realistically gave up 3 runs on lucky hits/errors.
i thin he'll be ok. Sufficient for a #4 guy
more like the offense kept him in the game.
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
"he kepts us in the game"
More like the grace of God.
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
i've always loved that phrase
let's think about this for a second: who was making more of an effort to "stay in the game"? here's a hint, the guy with a WHIP approaching 3 isn't the correct answer?
"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
precisely. giving up 10 hits and 4 walks, and throwing 2 wild pitches, in 5+ ain't gonna keep you in too many games.

I can see it now in September...
The Sox and KC battling it out for first!
"We're gonna bring it all day, everyday...we're gonna keep grinding it out." - Nick Swisher (4/1/08)
I Jerry Owens plugs right into the lineup,
I will be really, really pissed.
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
IF Jerry..........................
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
To paraphrase an old card-playing buddy of mine.
"Man those Tiger fafan gotta feel like shit."
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
It's a long, long season.
It's too early to get too down on the Tigers.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 4, 2008 3:38 PM CDT up reply actions
Kenny was wrong.
The Cabrera trade isn't keeping them close to us.
'08-to-date --- 1 triple to RF against the Sox.
Couldn't happen to a nicer team.
"We're gonna bring it all day, everyday...we're gonna keep grinding it out." - Nick Swisher (4/1/08)
Now, look...
They're gonna have to win at least a few, otherwise they will get killer draft picks - Again!
i missed it while i was at lunch,
but that was a ridiculous relief appearance by grilli...first 3 pitches = 3 hits = 3 runs.
