Scherzer has been pulled....replaced by Darin Downs...

Tigers have a long reliever in the pen warming up for some reason... Would be a shame if something were to happen to Scherzer...

Let's run this streak to 7 games.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 11:48 PM) Goddamn, if you actually pull of a weekend roadtrip to LA I'll be impressed. The longest drive I've ever knocked in a 24 hour period was Salt Lake City to ~Des Moines, and I just couldn't keep going. Please let us know if you do this, and what your secrets are to crossing 2/3 of goddamn America in one sitting. I did Vegas to Chicago and vice versa, both in one sitting each. The secret is satellite radio, coffee, and cigarettes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 09:28 AM) Yeah, while basically calling everyone who owns an Apple product a mindless follower that pisses him off and doesn't even know how to use their "overpriced" product, regardless if the iPhone 5 will start at $199 or not! Not only that, but I think he has influenced the way almost everyone who reads this thread views his opinion on anything, let alone Apple products.

QUOTE (SnB @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 07:31 AM) Good luck! PS: definitely order a sloppy joe at lunch, that's what all the big shots do. Yeah, and get a double gin and tonic to wash it down.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 10:26 PM) How? By being confident? Enlighten us, please. No, I was talking about the kicker missing the winning field goal. That is precisely how you lose in survivor pools. Stupid crap like that happening is how good teams lose to bad teams and how you lose in survivor pools. If it was as simple as you make it seem, there would be half the participants still around when the season ends. Trust me, people have been playing survivor pools since before you were born. s*** happens, and that is how you lose. If it was as easy as mapping your picks out and picking teams that should never lose, than we would all be making a living off of survivor pools.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 06:23 PM) Interviewing is so nuts. I have a 4.5 hour one this week meeting with multiple people, one over lunch. I know I can be abrasive sometimes, but I love you all. Throw some love my way, because this one would be awesome. Good luck, Scuba Steve! What day is the interview?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) I didn't say he cost me $5500, I said POTENTIALLY. I have the whole season mapped out w/ my picks, I was pretty damn confident. It's possible that shank of a kick cost me $5500. That is precisely how you lose in survival pools.

Ok boys...now don't come out flat tomorrow!

STRIKE THIS MOTHERf***ER OUT

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ROBIN

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 04:10 PM) LMAO!!!! How many homeruns does he really have off of us? He's like a .220 hitter against us...

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) Didn't look like Beckham was running hard to me. It was a fly ball to the track! Wise isn't supposed to be tagging unless he is positive he can get in...

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) So come playoff time how do we get Wise in the lineup every day? You sit Viciedo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:57 PM) Does anyone have a count on "Games Myers has finished"? No, but I think we still have plenty to work with.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) If you go with the righty, you likely get Dirks and Avila instead of Garcia/Laird. Let Myers go to the mound, and if they bring in Dirks, then bring in Thornton. Is Avila even available?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) 0/24. Fathom's guy still untouched on the season against lefties. If not for Young's presence, you'd be tempted to leave him in there against Boesch, but they'll go Myers or Crain in the 8th against Young. Crain has the better stuff, so I'd probably go with Jesse against Young/Peralta, then Thornton...for Boesch. Although Ventura very well might choose Myers over Crain. Don't have their career averages against those guys. He's not going to look at the career averages anyway.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:36 PM) If he can be as effective against Robinson Cano and Josh Hamilton as he has been against Fielder, that's a big edge for the Sox. Oh my...

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Prince has looked absolutely silly against Veal, now is not the time to mess with what's working. He did hit a hard line drive at Gordon last week...but yeah, not a bad move to go with Veal...just would have ridden the hot hand instead of introducing a new variable...

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) A solo homer ties the game, plus he's already thrown a lot of pitches for a reliever and it's time for Crain to take over after Veal anyway. Yep, but lefties are hitting .185 off of Jones and he really didn't throw a ton of pitches...

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) we need a cushion for addison. I hope we go with someone else.

I would have left him in to face Fielder.
