Game 159 Overflow Thread #2

Bobby Seay probably made a second overflow thread unnecessary, after allowing four runs to score. (Two of those runs are charged to Fu-Te Ni.)
But the Tigers still have two innings in which to stage a comeback and give that packed Comerica Park crowd something to celebrate. Do you still have some hope in you?
Twins 8, Tigers 1 as we go to the bottom of the eighth.

OT#2 Rally Time?
Is this legal?
I don't know. It's fun, though...

I'm going to be at Sunday's game
I really hope it won’t matter at that point (in a good way for us of course) because otherwise I will probably suffer from several heart-related traumas.

Not sure what they are upset about.
Hit their first guy in the top of the 9th in the head. Enough of this crap.

Not a good idea, guys. Not going into the last series of the season.

Doubtful
Unless we see video of Laird doing something intentional, or his sign (yeah right) indicating to throw at him.

I can see Bondo possibly eating something
If they believe the intent was there (which as we know, is usually yes)
2100 Woodward and Twitter
by john.kmiecik on Oct 1, 2009 4:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think...
That MLB would take the bait on that. Bonderman for 5 games (no great loss) and that’s it. Granted I just finished saying that I didn’t see the fight, but unless Laird was going after somebody, I can’t see him getting a suspension.
by Grant E. on Oct 1, 2009 4:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This was really dumb.
We don’t have the best standing with the league office. Gardenhire must be laughing pretty hard. We should have waited until next year to settle this.
by rook34 on Oct 1, 2009 4:20 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I have to agree
Clearing the benches, bullpens out… not the best idea. The league office looks at this, sees the Tigers down 8-3 on a day they can clinch against their big opponent… it’ll be seen as retaliation on Bondo’s part. I don’t think anyone else will eat a suspension though, or even a fine.

I'm sure the Twins started it due to the Mauer sign-stealing stuff.
But wasn’t that tipped by some northernTV station?
by rook34 on Oct 1, 2009 4:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I kind of doubt that's playing into it.
But there all kinds of things the have.
-The awful strike zone today
-Baker coming way inside on Thames
-Twins fans thought the Thames slide was a little cheap (I can see it)
-Awful call on Santiago getting doubled off 2nd
-Did I mention awful umpiring
by rcpratt on Oct 1, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
+1
horrible umpiring this game. I don’t think Mauer sign stealing had anything to do with it, I think it started with bad calls and just escalated from there.
by what_would_gil_thorp_do on Oct 1, 2009 6:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Rod and Mario, I have no idea what rule you're referring to
I just searched “eject” throughout the entire MLB rulebook and found absolutely nothing about automatic ejections. It’s umpire’s discretion. The only “automatic” is if a manager leaves the dugout to call balls and strikes then he is warned and if he reaches the plate he is ejected.

Man, Delmon was REALLY angry at Mijares.
Pretty animated from that angle.
by rcpratt on Oct 1, 2009 4:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Probably because he threw at Opie
to instigate retaliation
by kendra.michelle on Oct 1, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Mijares threw behind Everett
Young most likely blames Mijares for him being hit by Bondo.
We can trace the whole thing back to Thames getting thrown at twice.

Man, I gotta start skipping meetings….the one on Tuesday covered the 10th inning, and now, the Twins scored 4 in the 8th right after I leave to put it away.
Rally Slackers, anyone?

Hi, I'm home
Apparently I missed some sort of excitement. As I left lab, I checked my iPod and Gameday simply said “Delmon Young hit by pitch.” That’s all it said. By the time I got to my car and turned on the radio, there was a lot of background commotion and Armando Galarraga was pitching (very well, I might add).
