Must be nice to have your #4 hitter do something clutch. Tigers up 2-1 after Prince homers.

Texas-Yankees Wild Card game would be awesome

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:14 PM) You know if the Sox are eliminated, and Dunn is at .200, his season will end right there. But hey, at least they kept him batting 3rd all year.

Dunn hitless this series. 1-20 since his dramatic home run. He has a chance to finish up under .200!

Twins winning 1-0

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) Orioles about to clinch a playoff berth with a Angels loss. I'm sorry, but the locker room celebrations should only be for division winners and the Wild Card game winners. Still a pretty awesome split-screen on MLB Network

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) We will win once we are officially eliminated. Well yeah, cause they'll probably sit down Konerko and play Dan Johnson

Andy Dirks has a higher slugging percentage than Adam Dunn.

QUOTE (SI1020 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Not because of Mark Buerhle. Well duh, but according to greg, Buehrle makes a big different on how others on the team perform.

More f***ing outs on the bases, you have to be kidding me.

Dunn in his career off Kyle Farnsworth is 1-15 with 11 strikeouts. Of course, that one hit was a homer.

Great play by Miguel Cabrera saves two runs for the Tigers. Anibal Sanchez turning into a good acquisition.

Cooper should work with Nate Jones on a 4 seam fastball. He'd get a lot more swing and misses with his fastball if he was able to throw it up in the zone consistently.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) This is quickly becoming fun-bad. They're incapable of generating offense, and when they do -- the pitching staff gives it right back. That irritates me more than anything as a fan, I couldn't imagine how the players feel. Seems like 25% of the runners they've had in the last two weeks went on to get thrown out on the bases.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) How the hell are the Angels not a playoff team with that roster? Bullpen must suck. Cause A's have been absolutely awesome in the 2nd half this year.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) My god One of these days, they'll realize Jones is much better starting the inning when he has a little more breathing room.

Jeez, nice pitch selection AJ. Even Stone's ripping on it.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 07:36 PM) Flowers doesn't hardly play, hard to be consistent. Hey I love what AJ did these past 8 years, very durable guy. But I think it's time to refresh, AJ's defense has been mediocre at best and the pitch calling hasn't been all that either, granted that it could be comming from the bench Flowers in a full season having to face RHP consistently is a recipe for a sub .200 batting average

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 07:35 PM) It's only late September, still plenty of time left in the season to correct bullpen mismanagement. It's truly amazing how awful the coaching has been this month. Hell, it's been so bad that the Sun-Times seemingly made up a rumor that there's been speculation Ventura might want to leave just so they could get a comment from him on his future.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 08:19 PM) I dunno. Do they have the kind of stuff our starters show? I mean Q has looked nasty today, yet 3 runs in four innings? There's something very wrong with that. You think Quintana looks nasty? And yes, Josh Johnson has some of the best stuff of any pitcher in baseball.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 07:33 PM) Its almost like people want to make a change for the sake of making a change. Cause people think the great Tyler Flowers and Josh Phegley can be a good tandem

Absolutely inexcusable for the coaching staff to be asleep there.

And Q about to let more runs in. No idea in the world why they kept him in to start this inning. Wake the f*** up Ventura.

Pedro Florimon has sure sucked vs the Tigers this wknd.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) I'd be fine with this too. What do you do with the DH spot? I'm not eager to move Dayan there at this stage of his career, especially since there isn't necessarily a must-play guy in the OF in our system right now. There are a few guys that might enter that conversation in the next couple years, though I don't think PK would even consider retiring before his contract is up. There's not even been a hint at that being possible.
