Game 161 Overflow Thread #2

Doctor?  The patient might have a pulse.  (If Miguel Cabrera didn't just pull the plug with that double-play groundout.)

White Sox 4, Tigers 1 going to the ninth inning.

almost at the end of the season, anyway

Not much baseball left. Even if it’s bad, still not much time before the offseason.

I just wish the duration was a little longer.

I just had a horrible thought

we may have had our last Afterglow Thread of the year already. NO!!!!

that is so sad!

At least we hit the essentials – radioactive aardvarks, Jesus Zoidberg, the glowing tiger.

Agreed

That is one thing I really love about the Tigers board, those crazy fucking pictures after wins.

I would have to count on the Lions to salvage the weekend

Hopefully we won't need it (or maybe we should hope for it)

but if we have to play a playoff game with Minny, would it be Monday or Tuesday and at what time?

mlb.com says tuesday @ 5pm

how can there be a playoff game?

Well, here’s how. The baseball gods somehow allow us to win tomorrow. Then, to further punish us for whatever horrible misdeed we’ve done to deserve this bullshit, they send us back to that hellhole in minneapolis to meet our demise.

I'm not going to stop drinking until the Tigers win a game.

At this point, I’m likely going to die because that won’t be until next April.

by PBURGTIGER on Oct 3, 2009 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

I've done a lot of research on this.

And I have found that no matter who is pitching, you generally don’t win many games when you score zero runs.

by rcpratt on Oct 3, 2009 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

which pitcher you start

doesnt matter when your offense is this pathetic

I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
But goodbye’s too good a word, gal
So I’ll just say fare thee well
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

I can’t think of a pitcher I would rather have going.

Unfortunately, I can think of numerous offenses I would rather have, too.

You’re a silly goose.

two options

1. The offense is good, but slumping.

2. The offense is bad.

and I always like Verlander :)

He has taken over top spot from Inge. But I’ve always had a soft spot for for pitchers above all other positions.

but inge is still my tiger, til he retires.

I will always like Inge, but he's just slightly in second

I still got carpal tunnel voting for him, though. :)

Maybe in a weird twist of fate

The Lions upset the Bears in a 42-0 rout, the Twins lose on lost ball in the Metrodome roof, and the Tigers bust out for a 20-4 win.

Eh who am I kidding

Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!

by Ryan Weiss on Oct 3, 2009 10:27 PM EDT reply actions  

I think the Lions have a good chance against the Bears...

It’s not like they have been playing spectacular either…

In all honesty, I’d bet more money on the Lions winning than the Twins losing.

by ZWC11 on Oct 3, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'd take the Lions not winning another game for five years if it meant the Tigers win the Central this year

I’d make that deal without question. Then again, I’m not a Lions fan.

by SabreRoseTiger on Oct 3, 2009 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would, too

But even if you were a Lions fan, it isn’t as though it would be that different from the recent seasons. :D

by Baroque on Oct 3, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Poor Lions

On the other hand, if you have to lose horribly, you might as well make it an epic loss.

It’s sort of like when you go see a bad movie. If it’s just bad, you don’t enjoy it. But if the movie is so bad that it’s funny, then you enjoy it.

so I could no longer follow Detroit sports closely if that were to happen

by Ryan Weiss on Oct 3, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

it wouldn't be so wierd

if the Tigers won a game when Verlander pitched and the Twins, who have won less than 2/3rd’s of their home games, only win 2 of 3 against the Royals. The Tigers are clinching tomorrow …
