I don't know if Golden Retrievers are super smart, or if we just teach our dogs a lot of discipline, but our current retriever Casey knows a lot of stuff. - Sit -stay - lay down - up - go away - come - shake - dance (Jumps up and puts her paws on our arms) - soft (will take a piece of food out of your hand very gently and slowly. works best when little kids feed her) - go potty (She will squat every time, even to fake it just so we stop telling her, lol.) - Go to your bed (No matter where you are in the house, she will go up to the kitchen and get in her bed) - Stop - If you drop a piece of food anywhere near her, she will look to one of us to tell her she can get it. She will never eat anything we don't give her permission to. - Balance a treat on her nose, and then at the snap of a finger she flips it in the air and catches it. She will stay still for minutes at a time if we never snap our fingers. - Throw a treat, tell her to get it, and then while she walks over to it, tell her to stop, and she will freeze until we can she can have it. - And then obviously she plays fetch, and is OBSESSED with our boats and swimming in the water. She will go jump on the boat and wait for someone to drive her around. - She also knows that when we open a door for her, she has to wait for us to tell her she can enter. This works best in the winter or when its muddy outside and we want to wipe her paws first. She even lifts all 4 paws individually to let us wipe them off. - She will also stop at streets and corners and wait for us to cross, and then come across when we tell her. Yeah, she is pretty amazing. Her and my brother's puppy, Dina.

HUUUUGE. Oh hell yeah!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) Dunn saw 30 pitches today and didn't put one in play. Hmmmm.... That's probably the best 0-4, 4 strikeout game you can have. 30 pitches is a TON of pitches to see. That's averaging more than 7 pitches at-bat, and it's hard to be too upset about it, even though they all resulted in a K.

If I am the Tigers, I don't want to pitch to AJ right now either. He is red hot this season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:45 PM) It wasn't a delayed steal, Rod Allen. Morel went as soon as that ball hit the dirt and bounced. Good read. Oh, I believed them. I was on a different website, but listening to them.

Morel not getting credit w/ the steal.

The Doom Shroom! HUUUUUGE run!

Let's go Brent! September state of mind here! Drive it deep!

De Aza got to THIRD on THAT!!!! Holy s***!! Wheeeeeels!!! Thanks Delmon!!

HOLY s***!!!!! Defense coming up HUGEEE!!!!

Son of a b****.......I hate that this great game by Peavy is about to be ruined.....f***ING f***.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:31 PM) 5 best Left fielders of all time, dayan, dayan, dayan dayan and dayan, because he spits hot fire Yes! Thank you for understanding the reference!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:21 PM) Ha. It's you. Awful nickname. Awful. All I'm saying is....it's not hard to just ignore it if you don't like it. I do.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:20 PM) After all, you are the official nicknamer here.

Is it just me, or does it always look like Dotel is wearing a diaper?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:18 PM) Why do people call Viciedo "Hot Fire"? No one uses that nickname. It sucks. It might be the worst idea for a nickname ever. Tank. The Tank. DV. Dayan. Viciedo. Dayan Viciedo. That's it. Thank you. You should probably just get over it.....

HOT FIRE!!!!! HOLY s***!!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:11 PM) Nope, I was saying what a breakthrough it would be for him to get all the way through the heart of the order and through the 7th against a team like the Tigers. It didn't work out, but I like Ventura's confidence in pushing him, having higher expectations. Oh ok good. I thought you were saying he was left in there too long. I was going to roll my eyes!! In other news.....come on Reed!!

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 03:32 PM) We just taught our 3-year-old dog how to shake. She learned sit, speak and down when she was a puppy. She also knows "off" when she gets her front paws up somewhere she's not supposed to be and "leave it" when she chases after one of the cats (although they usually do a pretty good job of letting her know if they don't want her around. In fact she's scared of one them and he's the smallest one.). For some reason she never understood "shake" until a few days ago. Shake, or paw, or high-five is always a fun one. It's a command that lets your dog interact with you. My dog loves to come up to me when I have my foot sticking out, and put her paw on my foot. lol.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) Oh, man. Yeah....I think we get the joke, thanks.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 04:06 PM) From a psychological standpoint, it was definitely worth it.....OOOPS And, there goes that idea. In there one batter too long. He got through Cabrera and Fielder but not Young. Sinking fastball that didn't get down far enough. Please don't tell me you wanted him replaced before Young came up....

WTF was that Delmon Young? Lightly made contact on a ball in the dirt, and it's a homer? HUH!?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) but delmon young did... fall over... to be fair. Yeah, but it fell over trying to stop the ball from getting by.
