Game 160 Overflow Thread

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on Comment 508 comments

Jake Peavy is once again getting it done against the Tigers.  (Though they do seem to be hitting him better than last Friday in Chicago.) 

And Edwin Jackson would be matching him, if not for an unfortunate fastball up in the zone to Scott Podsednik and Carlos Guillen misplaying a bloop single to left field.

White Sox 2, Tigers 0 as we go to the fifth inning.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Bless You Boys writing staff. However, it does reflect the views of this particular fan, which is as important as anything else written here at BYB.

That's weird

Usually an outfielder gets an error if he touches the ball before it hits the ground, that and he slid about a full 2 seconds too soon.

I hate using the term choke because it is way overused in inappropriate contexts

But if the Tigers can’t hang on you could argue they will have choked away the division – buckled under the pressure. They are so tight if they walked through a draft they would twang.

I know

They are good enough to win this division if they would just relax and play competently. They don’t have to be outstanding, they don’t have to be fabulous – just decent is enough, and they can’t manage it.

I can handle losing to a better team, or even a healthier team – but I don’t like seeing a team lose because they were so nervous and tense that they couldn’t put forth their best effort.

I only can get bras from them that fit properly.

Every other brand the underwires pinch – and I NEED the underwire for the support. Their cotton collection is fantastic and the only ones that fit well.

I was looking at some of their sweaters in the last catalog I got and wondering how nice they were. Maybe I’ll get one (if they have it in stock in the color I want). :)

by okie for michigan on Oct 2, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

the way I heard the discussion ...

Is that MLB thinks they have precedence because it is a divisional game for Minnesota, which means that instead of having the home game then and the away game later they just flip-flop the home and away, which might normally be fine … but in this case Green Bay is coming to visit Brett Favre, and the NFL is disinclined to move the game from it’s Monday night slot.

If one of my teams wasn’t involved, I’d root for that to happen purely for the potential for dispute. :)

Injuries. But other than that – I figured odds were they would lose to Peavy, but I’d feel less crappy if the score was something like 3-1. Still, however big hte score, it’s only one loss.

He still has a couple years of arbitration left. But maybe a one-or-two-year deal is more in order.

the tigers should not be paying him a multi year deal either way

and anyone who was ready to back up the bank in july was insane because he has multiple arbitration years yet.

I sense the Tigers will save a few bucks on what he’ll earn next year.
