That's considered a "high end arm" these days?

Seriously, what better pitcher is available this year?

That's not my point. The quote was that they are seeking high end arms. Derek Lowe at this stage doesn't equal "high end arm" IMO. And yes, he's probably the best they could do.

Away we go, let's win this division.

OG in Trib feels no pressure on job status.

 

"Pressure about what, getting fired?" Guillen replied. "I don’t give a (bleep) if I get fired. I’m the only manager in baseball who (bleeping) don’t care about getting fired. I don’t at all. If I get fired, it’s (because) I don't do the job, I don’t know where or why or what I do, but no. I should get fired. Look at the team they give me, and we not playing well. I will take that. I think people think I no do a good job with this ballclub, I don't mind."

 

 

Sox wonder why fan apathy and crowds are so bad.

Verlander hasn't been touched up his last 7 starts in a row against us.

 

We used to, maybe not quite own him, but we really lit him up in the first 3-4 years of his career.

 

 

Only 6 ER in last 72+ innings. 9 consecutive starts with 2 runs or less given up. One of the best streaks (other than Hershiser or Pedro) from a pitcher since the 1960's.

So Ozzie doesnt care if he is fired? Great fire his butt

oh how fun this game is going to be

I don't think a no-hitter against us gets us any closer to changes.

 

It's going to take our usual 3-5 mental errors per game over the final 2 1/2 weeks of July.

 

 

In all fairness, the shadows are really playing tricks with hitters and will continue to do so for the first 2-3 innings.

I think he actually wants to get fired. As long as he doesn't quit, he's covered. It's just sad that KW won't call him on it. Makes the whole organization look foolish, chaotic, and to quote the thread title, in disarray.

 

Too bad I can't hear Hawk sighing after that leadoff walk. Uh-oh.

Its embarrassing to see what seems like every other week your manager is saying he doesnt care if he is fired or not.

well theyre the ones that ask him, what is he supposed to say, that he is worried? im sure he probably is but i dont think ur going to find many managers that are going to say theyre worried

It's not WHAT he says, it's the cavalier way in which he says it.

 

Great job by Floyd. Although I think once the 3rd inning starts, the hitters will be back to normal with the shadows receding.

 

Normally, he's either lights out...no hitter type stuff or he gets ripped to shreds by the Tigers. No very much in-between.

 

 

 

Tigers have won 11 of their last 12 against us. Didn't realize it was that bad.

Their announcers credit us giving up Thome to the Twins for the turnaround. That's one move that hasn't gotten much play around here in terms of KW criticism.

 

Two strikes on Dunn before he's even in the batter's box.

"forget it against the twins" stoney lol that was funny, no need to explain

.160 LMAO

So when does Dunn start hitting ?

I eagerly await Dick Allen posting the "2nd half comeback" remarks about Dunn and Rios.

im sure thats exactly what it is he wasnt pujols, jeez

Not sure if Adam Dunn even remembers how to hit.

 

The guy is an absolute joke.

Well, at least you can appreciate Verlander's greatness this year. That's about the only reason to be entertained by this game.

 

6 outs in a row.

He kinda was last year

6 down, 21 to go. Go get 'em, V.

I'm just hoping the no-no is broken up.

 

Baby steps.

2 hits may be hard tonight let alone a run.

give me a break. some of you need to get verlander's dick out of your mouth.

Break did not change the luck that was a duck snort big time.
