PrintThe holiday weekend begins in the BYB GameThread, apparently!
Suddenly, this game has gotten far too interesting. Tigers and Twins tied in the seventh inning. (The Tigers had a 7-1 lead.)

It's no ones fault!
Except for Zach Miner. And Jim Leyland. And Magglio, too.

Gomez and Span
Is it racist to call them Spic ‘n’ Span? If so, I apologize.

In times like these
Any racism towards the Twins is acceptable.

Well, I had to skim through the comments to have some clue what had happened.
I did, and all I still get is a large bowl of WTF.

can we start over from the second inning?

its ok you were looking at Bush, misspellings are inevitable

doesn't matter
He could throw a water balloon and Crede would hit a home run.

I think those horrible red hats are bad luck.
They are evil and must be destroyed.

I don't know. Verlander on one day's rest.
I’m not sure I’m kidding. We simply cannot lose this damn game.
sigh
trying to catch up, I switched to el cheapo internet only to realize I can’t watch mlb.tv in high quality
or do anything else
I switched it back but it’s not gonna go into effect til tomorrow
it could get us to a second overflow thread…

How many outs in a row do we have?
11?12? I’m reverse jixing it right here!
(ok, so it seems this is just out of date now) (can i take credit for thinking it?)

joel signed a ball for me in houston
i’m still mad at him though. he better not make things worse tonight
how about more "smallball" from country strong?

I think a 6-0 lead counts as squandering on an epic scale.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
If we don't score here
Expect Zumaya to give up one of his patented bases-loaded walks and watch Jumbo Joe shut em down 1-2-3 in the 9th
I have rally antacids.
They don’t seem to actually help create rallies but they do calm the stomach after all the squandering.
Another bad move, putting in Joel
Where is BOBBY SEAY???

I am still too flustered to figure out what is happening
think I might have to just rewatch most of this later. bleh.
hey! I like GIDPs!
when the other team does it!
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Better score 5 runs here
what with Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer and Crede due up in the bottom of teh 9th. Might need the cushion
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I know this is against baseball etiquette...
but when are we going to start either walking or hitting Crede?
two years ago?
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
We've made the guy millions and millions of dollars.
I don’t even think he’d care if we hit him in the head.
Enter Joe Nathan
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Wow, Nathan against the bottom of the order?
Guess Gardy thinks one of the M & M boys are gonna end it with a big blast.
Do you blame him?
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Even if the answer is yes,
he should keep going.

was that pitch at G$’s head, the way game day made it look?

Oh yeah it was heading toward his head
Didn’t look intentional

he doesn’t need his hands for anything, right?
by Kurt Mensching on Jul 3, 2009 10:42 PM EDT up reply actions
the only time that makes sense
is when the throw brings the 1st baseman off the bag towards the runner (say it’s high) and the runner wants to avoid the tag … clearly that was not the case for G$

I don't know if you can run on Nathan or not.
I don’t think we’ve ever had anyone on against him to use as reference.
Screw the split screen.

Well if they win, they win
I’m not watching any more, not after what happened last time the Tigers went to extra innings in Minnesota. Criticize me all you want, I don’t give a shit.
I never criticize self-preservation
Do what you need to for the sake of survival.

i've resigned myself to a walk off bomb
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Honest to God.
It’s like watching a horror movie where you know the girl is going to walk right into the room where the killer is. You know the end, you hope it’s different this time for once, and the result is the same.
It’s just a matter of who hits the walkoff at this point.
We just do not win here. Ever.
what does Nathan make per year?
Anyone know off the top of their head?
should be eleventy-billion dollars for how good he is

got one worse
2 outs, cuddyer walks, and then Crede hits one out

Haha you guys have nightmares of Joe Crede don't you?

somewhere there is a secret document
That documents how Crede bought the Tigers from Mike Illitch.

Plays like that are what really make this frustrating.

Honestly, I feel great with Zumaya in now.
It’s when there’s already someone on base that I’m scared.
sorry – I saw a rollercoaster request

Seriously...
with his gopher ball issues and inability to field, this is the worst possible stadium for Joel.

I’m fairly sure its more than half the time.

I do not support leadoff walks...
but we simply cannot pitch to Joe Crede here. Either walk him or drill him in the back.
The Metrodome
is the House of Horrors, I tell you.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
The obvious solution is more booze.
The sane solution might be to not watch this game but sanity is for wimps.
i was about to make fun of rod allen for saying
“joel should be able to get through this 10th inning without giving up a run”
but I guess I’ll just shut up

Hit it to Kubel.

anyone else see that the red wings lost their worst player?
samuelsson left. finally, shots on goal will really be shots ON goal.
he's not the worst!
He’s just really inaccurate – and streaky – and sometimes he turns the puck over …
But I hope he does well with the other Swedes in Vancouver, the big goof.

Zoom does not get much help from the boys in blue.
Winning run on 1st. Stealing and/or bunting are a certainty.
if we get out of this inning...
….it’s gotta be close to an overflow point, right?

Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Morneau isn't much better,
but you can’t let Mauer beat you with a line drive here. Can’t pitch to him under any circumstance.
to get to crede?
who’d hit a walk off granny just to spite us?

didn't walk anybody until Mauer
and now he’s got the taste in his mouth, like an alcoholic falling off the wagon…

Cuddyer is in front of Crede.
The thing that scares you here is that a Zoom wild pitch, or a bunt to Zoom, probably ends the game.
