Dick Allen

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) He still has a sore back. He's getting a day off. when did he hurt it?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Rooney and Farmer are saying that Marte was put on the DL likely as a precautionary move so he can maximize his days of rest with the All-Star break coming up. They said that Kenny is probably worried more than anyone else. In one of the papers today, it said Marte was in Chicago yesterday attending to a personal matter and he returned to Detroit during the game yesterday. I bet he was getting examined.

This Marte thing really concerns me. I mentioned when they were in Toronto he was shaking his arm after he threw in the bullpen. This injury he has now is probably related to that. Losing him would be a big blow.

Considering the hatred for Luis Vizcaino, how could anyone want to add old pitchers with far worse numbers? If the Yankees are paying these guys almost $7 million combined and they now want to pay them not to pitch, I think it speaks volumes.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) The bullpen deserves a dozen hookers tonight. I'm sure that was the plan win or lose. They are in Detroit.

Another failure to get the runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs. This loss may send Detroit reeling. Break out the brooms tomorrow Freddy.

Why is Palanco always batting in these situations?

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) Is Hermy officially on bereavement? or is he available for the 13th? He's in uniform.

Shelton scares me in the bottom of the 13th.

Strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhh

Are the seats at Comerica Park the same style that will be put in USCF? They look very similar.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Shingo looks awesome! That could be the biggest development of this game. He had been more effective lately, but this may solidify that in Ozzie's mind, and in Shingo's mind.

If Shingo can get through this inning, we will see some huge swings in the 13th.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:38 PM) Well. Freddy better be ready to go 9 tomorrow. Marte and Hermanson haven't pitched tonight. I'm sure Shingo can still go tomorrow, as well as Cotts. Politte probably should be shelved and Vizcaino shouldn't pitch.

Scott has to make of for his fielding gaffe right here.

Finally the fireworks finale. That had to be distracting to the hitters.

The Tiger bullpen looks like an offensive line.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) 67 at-bats in april he had 11 walks. 102 walks in may and he had 12 walks. 75 at-bats in june and 7 walks. Not a good sign. Weren't 2 or 3 of them in the same game? The blowout of the Cubs?

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) He can be, but you'll see it within the first 2 pitches You're right. I've been saying the same thing about Cotts for a year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Seen this story with Polanco up, haven't we? If he has never faced Shingo, I like the Sox chances

If Shingo has his command, he's just as good as anybody in the White Sox bullpen.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) why isnt Hermanson being used? They'll use him if they have the lead, or the game goes 17 innings and they absolutely must use him.

Now he gets Shingo. Amateur managing tonight by Ozzie.
