Score should be easily, easily 3-1 right now. But this team sucks at doing the little things.

He probably wouldn't have scored, but Pods wasn't exactly busting his ass out of the batters box on his triple.

 

I noticed that too.

Anderson's bat vs. Verlander's fast ball right now? Mack isn't that good right now either, but at least he might make contact.

Seems like he can only hit a fastball. Case in point: King Felix.

Atleast Iguchi didn't strike out looking...as has been the case a lot recently.

 

I don't know which is worse. Striking out looking on a close pitch, or chasing ball four.

DL, he's been hurting all year. He's also facing domestic abuse charges or something like that.

 

So social retardation runs in their family, between him and his brother, is what you're saying?

 

That was a disgrace with Gooch and Thome. They're almost as bad as Pierzynski right now at batting in runs.

Everyday Eddie isn't exactly throwing gas right now.

You conveniently forget that the Tigers had 1st and 3rd, no outs...and didn't score.

Mass Chaos in the streets! Public hangings! Slaughter the first born in every household!

In a way, I wish that game never happened. Of course, it was great for the team to win that game, and for Anderson to contribute. However, it seems nothing more than a fluke.

Hey Greg, I'd recommend that you remove Billy Koch from that list. He didn't light the world on fire with us like he had in Oakland, but he was likely suffering from that Mystery Muscle Disorder that's ravaged him, and, in my view, he at least had some reason to have fallen to pieces unlike others who just didn't have much talent.

And we had 1st and 2nd, no outs...and didn't score.

Obviously Jose does not want to pitch to Maggs right now.

This is true. I should have said "We should easily, easily have three runs right now."

 

I did forget about that 2 on no out for the Kitties, my mistake.

Kevin Walker should be on that list.

I love how you've decided that the kid has no present or future ability to ever produce based on his first 200 at bats.

I will consider it. He still sort of acted like a little b**** as he was falling apart saying he deserved to be the closer.

No....I think he has a great frame to turn into a productive hitter. However, the expectations for him this year were greatly enhanced after that game. Right now though....he's as bad of a major league hitter I've seen in a while.

Jose still seems not there.

ugh.....another duck snort single by Detroit.

Done

I want some bloopers!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:00 AM)

He has no control of his forkball. Thus, he's having a harder time putting away hitters. Thames has no problem getting the job done.

Hey, a sac fly!! Why can't we do that??

Seems like every time the White Sox walk a guy, he scores.

Iguchi's up with a runner on 3rd base, and the Tigers start him off with low changeups since they know he's trying to hit a fly ball. Thames is up in the same situation, and we give him a first pitch fastball up.
