Game 76 Overflow Thread

Are you still awake?  It's Tuesday morning in the eastern time zone (which is probably why we're posting this about 200 comments after we should've).

Athletics 7, Tigers 1 in the bottom of the seventh, after a lame throwing error by Adam Everett.

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.

Red lights mean NOTHING for the first five seconds – and pedestrians will saunter at will.

Chicago drivers leave less space between cars than anywhere I’ve ever seen.

Oh, they are good – just scary if you haven’t driven that way before. You need to learn to signal and then just move over into the next lane as soon as a spot opens up that is six inches longer than the car.

We don’t need to translate that. Ni is a strike thrower. He should’ve thrown a ball to Sweeney.

by Mike Rogers on Jun 30, 2009 1:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not as bad is it seems

Porcello was long over do for a bad outing. The Tigers should not be in a position where we need a rookie to carry the team anyway. The offense has to step up once and a while.

Dolsi was pretty good. However, it only matters how he pitches when his blood pressure is high and he’s nervous. That’s when he faltered last season.

Ni did better than Robertson. That’s all we should ask for on a first appearance, right?

Of course, getting an out is all you needed to do.
