I love a manager that doesn't try to play small ball in the first few innings of a game. No reason to give up the first out.

Nick Masset....good luck today! Garland has zero chance of having a good start when the ump won't call the low strike.

Way to come out sharp today! At least the usuals will leave this thread.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) Worst 1st inning team in baseball. We have to be. They're struggling now, but I love the 2-3-4-5 for the Tigers. All four are very tough outs. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) And why the f*** would you give Polanco something outer half like that? It's AJP....how dare you question him!

Another terrible start to the game. PK in quicksand over there?

One of these days, Garland will realize that he doesn't have a good changeup.

This ump has a small strike zone. That's definitely an advantage for the Tigers.

What a great eye by Thome.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) lol what do you get more vindication from: Winning or calling out pessimists? I went back and looked at the first page of this thread....only two people said ballgame (and for the record, I wasn't one of them). Even one of the most optimistic, realistic posters on this site made a reference to watching the Bulls game instead of this game due to the score.

Great job by Uribe.

Uribe....simple sac fly will do.

I've been calling for doubles all year....great to see! Let's get another one.

Too bad we can't pr for PK here.

We'll see some home run swings this inning....hopefully they connect.

Someone coming in to face Monroe?

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) I got a bad feeling... Due to previous ass-kickings, I never feel like Sisco will get the job done.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:37 PM) Well Timostad is hitting worst than Brian last year. But hey he runs his face into the wall. We should of just traded for Rowand, and I hate that idea, over signing Timostad. He at least could hit over 250. We face three straight righties now, so I'm sure Erstad will keep playing and playing. Didn't Guillen hit a walkoff against Sisco last year?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:35 PM) Ugh. Shock me and go to extras. Tigers in walkoff situations are very scary. Saw it happen way too much last year, especially with the drunk and juicer coming up.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:10 PM) BOOOOOOOOOOONE Ugh

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:08 PM) Uribe sporting some smarts. He cant catch throws, he cant catch popups, and he swings at 100 mph fastballs over his head. 1-10 from the 7/8/9 has to be considered good today.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:07 PM) Because Timo didn't actually start everyday. He was just playing too often. And you didn't have Ozzie and Hawk saying Timo was the greatest grinder ever.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:04 PM) I didnt know that Timo has a white equally not so talented brother. Timo Erstad is not good. This Erstad stuff is worse than the Omit stuff ever was.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) Nice job BA, but Darin would've slid head first, get his jersey dirty, dislocate his shoulder and Hawk and Ozzie would be praising him left and right for his grit and grind. Can that please happen?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) Jones vs. Thome, or Zumaya vs. Thome It was a joke...no matter how bad Thome's 9th inning stats are, I'd take him against a RHP over anyone in baseball right now.

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 06:53 PM) I think PK hit a game winner off him last year. The PK homer was earlier in the year. Zumaya dominated him every AB after that. Good thing we have Thome batting in the 8th here and not the 9th.
