QUOTE(mr_genius @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 03:15 PM) http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Godwin's_Law So if Mr. Bush is now talking about "Islamo-Fascists" in order to link the terrorists to WWII, does that mean we've lost the war on terror?

Come on Big Jon...time to find that Mojo you had a few weeks ago. And if Sweeney comes up late in the game with men on? JUST WALK HIM.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 03:25 PM) There's a couple of schools of thought on that. I think it'd be a sure thing Fields comes up if he was on the 40 man, but he isn't.... Yeah...if they don't think he's fully ready, and they know they won't have a spot for him for a while, it might pay to avoid starting his arbitration clock until next year. I absolutely hope they don't bring Sweeney up for the same reason.

Meow...meow...meow... Shoo Cat! Shoo!

Bye bye kitties. Hope you enjoyed your stint at the top. Now I hope you also enjoy your longest losing skid of the season.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:53 PM) I am a little surpised the Tigers have not been bitten by their lack of a dominant closer more often. They make a pretty good case that you don't need a dominant closer, you just need A closer who is willing to do the job. Nicely done BA. And yeah, he got thrown out on the basepaths, but they may have only cut the ball off because he was running. Tell Bobby to sit down. I would not mind at all if Riske got some work this inning.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) The only way I'd leave Thronton in there is if we score another run here If we score another run here, I bring Riske in. No reason to wear Thornton out either.

Granderson brought that back. Wow.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) do you keep thornton in for the 9th? i only suggest it because bobby pitched yesterday and pitched 2/2/3 innings 3 days ago. No offense to K.C., but with K.C. up next, and a save situation here against the team we're chasing, this is Bobby's game.

He was certainly due.

Cannon from the right side, cannon from the left side, cannon from the right side, and the kitties limp away.

THOR!

Well...this is the bullpen we wanted. Little dribbler turns into a hit...so we go from the righty fireballer to the lefty. Hard to complain.

Roid-Rage

That third pitch was NASTY

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) Burger King is also on my Most Hated commercial list with the Chicken Fries commercials. Helio and Joan Cusack now have company. Burger King's commercials have gotten progressively more annoying for the last year. They're just insanely so right now. QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) when (and in what round) was zumaya drafted? I believe he was a 12th round pick. Close, 11th.

MacDougal in

No fist pump today eh Joel? Don't want us throwing back brooms at you?

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) That's a SERIOUSLY big if. PK's done it once this year already.

He better have been bunting for a hit.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) We could always use Iguchi in this spot. Walker's been killing righties more than lefties, and Iguchi has been killed by lefties this year. If we're sending in the righty, i'd actually take Pablo. I think I'd take Pods as the best choice overall though. PABLOWNED!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) Good job Brian! Do we let Pablo hit for Pods here, and then bring in Mackowiak? Only if you think the Squeeze will work. I think I have more confidence in Pods hitting it in the air or on the ground to the right side than Pablo.

Pods, just don't F&*#ing strike out.

Nicely, NICELY done BA. I just love it when we do the bunt right.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) I'd take Freddy out unless we score another run. Luckily, we have Instant Offense® up with Uribe-BA-Pods. Interestingly, you're correct. Brian, get the F*&*#&*#&*(&$#(*&^%&(#^ bunt down. I think our 7-8-9-1 hitters have done more damage since the last game of the Yankee series than the heart of our order has.
