just got back from the game it was pretty solidly played compared to the last two games, and the situational hitting was better Buehrle was just good enough to get by and the bullpen clamped down when it needed to still a disappointing series, but a positive note heading into Minny now

well I hope pod's sentiment is not in line with what the rest of the team thinks what he should of said is "we sucked tonight, we had no intensity and I guarantee it will come back for tomorrow"

atleast the tigers split a 4 gamer against the d-rays but that was on the road, so we're more pathetic

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) Embarrassing would be another..... The Sweep of the Tigers brought false hope for this team winning the division, and possibly the WC. I dont think my optimisim could have turned around any faster from monday to today. I'm still optimistic, but I just realize that the team is more flawed than a solid contender should be

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) I actually think he meant 03. That was a good team with Loaisa, Colon, Buerhle, Gordon was closing, and they actually were in first place in the middle of September before the colossal cave in. if I remember correctly we had a tough september schedule that we couldn't handle while the twins cruised

we better win tomorrow or I want my money back

yay that was an awful game win tomorrow or we don't deserve the division

I bet gooch homers here though

when pablo's swinging like that your team is in trouble

it will take 6 more runs before I consider this anything more than the most pathetic game of the season

if only we did that before it was 10-0 royals

yay pointless grand slam and my 1000th post

good atbat by gload bad swings but atleast he can lay off a ball

it's atbats like crede's that make me think that grinder rule about not swinging at foolish pitches was nothing but a lie

crede got himself out why would you be aggressive like that in this situation

alright 10 run rally right here the fans that are still in the ballpark right now deserve their money back

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) So did facing terrible pitching. We played terrible that entire Orioles series....we were lucky to win 2 games. but our offense played well against roy halladay, the yankee bullpen and verlander and the offensive approach improved somewhat (but seems to have reverted back now)

by the way since I wasn't around earlier in the game, has any one else noticed how off-balance Jim Thome is right now when he tries to turn on pitches it looked like he's leaning back and not completely any transfer of power in his swing, so all the power has to come out of his arms, which may explain why he hasn't pulled a home run in a while anyone notice this or am I crazy?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) I think I agree with you. I can't count how many times I've said to myself "yes, this is gonna be the play or game that sparks our run." well that ross gload grand slam did lead to improved play nothing that counts as a run though

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) I can't come up with the words to describe how big tomorrow is. We CAN'T lose 3 of 4 to these guys, especially with a very tough roadtrip coming up. Mark needs to DOMINATE tomorrow. f*** the quality start stuff. yea especially since all the fans worked so hard for these sellouts against this terrible team that we can't even beat what a slap in the face it is to us to just play like s*** when we keep filling the park like this

what an embarrassing game I bet if we come back a bit then we'll kick some ass tomorrow QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) Guess there's no reason to update my sig.

boo

it's ok gload will get a base hit QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) So far, this game looks like a retread of last nite. Not good conteras>vazquez theres still hope

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) AJP's bat speed is slowing down again. I'm sure he'll get the day off tomorrow. with Mark pitching theres no question about it

that was a weird play good recovery by cintron and a good pick by paulie
