Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

Game 162 Overflow Thread

Who are these guys in the white uniforms scoring runs?  Wait, the Detroit Tigers?  The same team that could only score one run in the previous two games of this series? 

Apparently, John Danks is just what this lineup needed to see.

Tigers 3, White Sox 0 heading to the third inning.

This is the most abusive, co-dependent relationship

Just when so many of us are ready to kick these guys out, they come back with “I’m sorry, baby. I swear I’ll change,” and we take them back.

yes

Figaro is dreadful at holding runners on, and Laird didn’t have a chance.

by Baroque on Oct 4, 2009 1:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Mostly

Figaro completely forgot about the baserunners, and Lyon’s usually pretty easy to steal on. Armando’s not that easy to steal on, but Laird couldn’t get the grip on the ball to throw it.

It's confusing here

Because we have Belle Tire (whose mascot is Tire Man), but we also have a store called TireMan (which has really stupid commercials).
