QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) What's Jose's ERA now? 1.83. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) do you send pods? 2 outs? Yes. Get a RISP

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) And we're closing in on having Cliff Politte pitch They've used 5 bullpen guys now, we've used 3. They're carrying an extra pitcher yes, but they're getting to the back end...and I'm not sure how having Halladay delay a start affects their plans.

On the bright side, Toronto is down to 2 pitchers left who aren't starters, if I'm counting right.

That could not have worked out worse.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) it sounds crazy but the indians pitching is absolutely terrible. they just arent going to get much better. It's also not impossible for an offense to get so hot that it can overcome bad pitching. Texas has had hot streaks like that for a few years, hell the Yankees keep making the playoffs by doing it.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) Jesus Christ. Justin Verlander has better stuff than Johan Santana. 98 on the first pitch, 81 on the next pitch. Its ridiculous. Paul Byrd and the tribe have NO chance today. Yeah, it's 100% impossible to score runs off of Verlander. He's going undefeated for his career. Wait, what's that, you say the White Sox beat him? How could that happen, he's got Jesus's pitch arsenal.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 27, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) Detroit is so good right now it's scary. Oakland had a stretch last year where they were unbeatable for a month. The Orioles had a stretch last year where they were unbeatable for a month. Cleveland played .750 or better for a couple months. None of those teams were as good as they played. Detroit looks very good right now. But they're not as good as they look right now, because no team is EVER as good as it looks when it is playing its best.

AG Gonzalez threatened to resign if Mr. Bush capitulated and gave back the seized documents.

Nice of Juan to take at least 1 pitch first. Come on Brian, it's time to get your bat out of your ass. Nope.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 26, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) Lilly fears Crede 20 pitches thus far this inning for Lilly, still only 1 out.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 26, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) Time to get instant reply . For every ump that hates us, there's 1 somewhere else in the league that hates the Tigers. Let's score 6 more and make it not matter

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 26, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) June 6th. D-Day?

Hey, our good friend Hunter Wendelstedt is at 2b today.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 26, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) And the Tigers lead alraedy...what the f*** Dude, they're playing Cleveland. 1 run in that game is basically within the margin of error. At this point there's still a 50% probability that the game is tied.

You know, I think the Skydome has the most rounded field shape I've ever seen on Gameday.

Uh-Oh, Jermaine...you're 1 behind...

27 pitch first for Garcia. Now watch, he'll settle down like he always does.

Guess that means Anderson appealed.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 26, 2006 -> 02:42 PM) B&B said that Dusty was so upset during the news conference the Cubs PR department had to end it early. So maybe you should turn on your radio to hear a little mini blowup from Dusty. The question is...did the water coolers survive?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 26, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Seriously, what needs to happen for Busty to get canned? 20,000 tickets sold per game.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 26, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) It's about the same thing as saying that the Trade Center Towers were imploded by a gov't conspiracy. Or something. Yeah, but you don't have to deal with Seismologists every day.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 26, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) Hmm, the Downing Street Documents, all tied in with a 9/11 conspiracy. That makes an argument good. :rolly The sad thing is that there's actually some substance to the DSM (who knows how much until more documents are released, which may happen soon), but then you get people like these who get their hands on them and say "See, Bush caused 9/11 to invade Iraq!" and suddenly any story that could be told from those British memos becomes just a conspiracy theory. They're taking everyone who even remotely agrees with them down with them.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 26, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) It seems like that 3 run homer by Piazza into a stiff wind on a dead cold day has turned into Dempster's "Pujols" moment. Interesting. I think we need to make that into a verb. "To pujols" - to hit a home run off of a pitcher and thereby totally destroy that pitcher's confidence and career.

Ryan Dempster, Brad Lidge. Brad Lidge, Ryan Dempster.

(If nothign else, let's just note that's a daily show clip from 2004...not from the Colbert Report itself.)
