QUOTE (SnB @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) no one could have saw this coming. I don't know. It's been somewhat of a pattern during the KW era.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) Thanks, Leyland! What a dumbass. Somewhere on the planet a Tiger fan says the same exact thing.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) I thought he would be utter trash with the Tigers infield D. Boy was I wrong. A lot of props to their pitching coach.

Uh oh stink spreads on this team.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) BEFORE HIS GOT DANG INJURY!!!!!!! He is clearly not the same anymore but he is still one heck of a pitcher. Except when it really matters. Stats don't lie on that one.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) Gavin Floyd is a bad pitcher. I don't think there's any crime in acknowledging that we won't be favored tomorrow. No need to generalize beyond that. He has moments where he is good.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) Another rather mediocre outing for Jake... but thanks for keeping it close Sad the he only had two runs to work with but he was acquired to be the ace of the staff.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) Wait, when my MLB.tv went down we were leading 2-0. What happened? Big Game Peavy happened.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:39 PM) No. Pitchers who bomb out against a team's biggest rivals 3 times in a row + have a 10+ ERA in the playoffs and lose critical games at the end of the season (for the Padres) are choke artists. Kenny loves his mental midgets.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:37 PM) Just to be clear, if a pitcher doesn't get Cabrera out 4 times per game he's an overrated choke artist? Nope Peavy is just a joke artist. He's not over rated in that category at all.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:33 PM) Cabrera rounds the sacks pretty swiftly there...i dont think those ankles are as bad as they look. or that he plants the ball in the seats

Well that's money they won't have to worry about next years, Cy so long ago.

With the 3 team battle in the AL East, the division winner may squeak out 95 wins.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) No. He definitely started gaining weight with the Twins, but eating with Cabrera and Fielder has taken is waistline to another level. Young is another guy fans don't want back. I hope he isn't one of those guys Kenny always wanted.

He needs more run support. What else is new?

Was Young that fat when he was with the Twins?

Anyone notice last night PK still had his bat on the shoulder when the pitcher went into a wind up? Not there tonight.

Wicked curve. Gotta learn to lay off that.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) These Tigers announcers sound so deflated..... How come Hawk only gets hammered for his homerism? Depends on who you are listening too. I like their TV guys. Tigers TV broadcast one of the best IMO. BTW anyone going to watch As vs. Angels on mlb.com?

Beckham the Tiger killer.

You could tell that was in the park by Cabrera's reaction.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 06:40 PM) There used to be a stat that in the NBA, a scoring champion had never won a title. MJ destroyed that. Ozzie wanted to get away from depending on homers even though that and some great pitching got him a ring. Even on this board, homers were considered a bad thing for a while. For some reason people preferred doubles and singles. With a team that's not very fast, its not going to work unless you have .300 hitters with .370 OBP up and down the line up. Some still do when it comes to Ramiriez. I'll take his clutch hitting any day.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) Who cares about RISP? Just hit homers. Well, that formula works pretty well until October, at least. One year that worked past October. It's the Sox MO.

I'm sure there has to be a Dwayne Wise Fan Club somewhere.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) Would you believe he is batting .350 with a .960 OPS the last 7 days? Hitting .323 for the month. He had a such a terrible August that it just seems for whatever reason he is still in that rut, even though he's come out of it a couple weeks ago. It's very hard to believe. But what about RISP?
