Yeah, why dont you answer my soxtalk trivia question in my sig.

The Tigers get to face Josh Beckett, Curt Schilling, and David Wells at Boston.

Man, f*** Josh Beckett.

 

He's supposed to be good against teams the first time they see him. :angry:

Make that 5-0 Tigers. Josh Beckett is really good.

JOSH BECKETT IS GOD

 

CY YOUNG

Beckett is so overrated. Florida got a ring out of him than flipped him for a great young SS.

Is BBTN keeps talking like he is a Cy Yound candidate, I'll puke.

Becket is hype. The matchups are just fine for the Tigers in this series. Schilling can be beaten, Beckett gets hit almost every start (despite the hype) and who knows what Boomer Wells you'll get.

Quit the annoying big man vague crap. Tell us what's on your mind. Being vague and sounding like you know it all isn't fooling anyone.

 

Now that that's out of the way what the heck are you talking about?

I didn't think I was being all that vague. You're telling me you've never heard/suspected anything about Rowand and the possibility of performance enhancing drugs? You can basically infer the same things about Rowand that you can for Rodriguez.

 

And this is about as far as I'm going to go on this, conversations on this subject especially involving Rowand never end well.

Fair enough. I've never heard anyone out and out say they believe Rowand did steroids. I've heard people say they heard it from someone. Therefore I lead it to be Cub fan crap. I'm not saying he didn't, I don't really care. Never heard a real accusation. After all, he's Aaron Rowand, who cares?

Rowand's steroid use aside...

 

projected matchups next week:

 

Contreras vs. Verlander

Buehrle vs. Rogers

Garcia vs. Miner

Garland vs. Robertson

 

(kind of glad we dodge bonderman -- he's nails at home)

 

This weekend in the tinky winky dome:

Garcia vs. Bonser

Garland vs. Radke

Vazquez (sheep) vs. Santana (wolf)

I'll say this. This means that Frank Thomas has done it as well since he and Rowand worked out together ALOT during the off-season when they were teammates.

Frank Thomas was never on steroids. Ever. SEC Tight Ends usually do not need to get stronger.

 

Aaron Rowand was never on steroids either. Don't even suspect it.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, don't jump on me now. Like Kalapse said, I'm not going to go into it eigher. But, just pointing out an example.

With all due respect, it is completely asinine to make a correlation like that, Rowand more than likely worked out with others that were teammates of his in the past whom did not use any sort of performance enhancing drugs. Hell, I've worked out hard in the past with guys who enjoy shooting needles into their asses and yet I've never done the s***.

Really, Bonderman is better on the road than at home.

 

Home- 12 Starts 4-4 4.54 ERA

Away- 12 Starts 7-1 3.01 ERA

 

Much of that home failure was early season.

 

Still either way, you are lucky you don't get him. He's a stud.

I bet if we beat him he would have mysteriously started to tip his pitches too :lol: : :lol:

Pretty much all of his numbers suffered in 2005. His homers were almost cut in half (while having more at-bats in 2005 than he did in 2004). There's reason to suspect something.

I wouldnt go that far. A-row wasnt on the same team as some of the biggest juicers in the MLB. He also wasnt directly named in a book regarding use. Also, I-rod's numbers are hilariously inflated during those years.

Tigers son 3-2 tonight, however Polanco seperated his shoulder, and Infante had just left the game, go Pudge had to play second.

Wow. Those are two huge injuries. Please keep us posted!

Infante didn't leave the game due to injury. He was replaced by Inge at third for defensive purposes.

 

The Polanco injury is huge though. Obviously he was a defensive stalwort but he was also the #1 steadying influence on the team when he came up to bat. He never struck out, he would almost always put the ball in play (and in the direction that the situation demanded) and he was one of the best hitters with RISP in the entire leauge.

 

The degree of his shoulder separation is not yet known.
