Game 79 Overflow Thread #3

PrintThe next Overflow Thread might just be the preview for Saturday afternoon's game. If this game ends before the next game. If it doesn't, there could be some warp in the space-time continuum. Who wants that?
Tigers and Twins still tied, going to the bottom of the 15th.

The Tigers lost to the Yankees in 22 innings on Sunday, June 24, 1962, at Tiger Stadium.
Some of the interesting events included the game-winning two-run homer by Jack Reed (off Phil Regan), who did not hit another big league home run, seven hits by Rocky Colavito, and eleven at-bats for Bobby Richardson, tying a record. The winning pitcher was rookie Jim Bouton.
The game was called at an even 7 hours by Detroit Free Press sportswriter Joe Falls, who was the official scorer for that game. However, Joe later admitted he fudged the time by a minute. It was the longest game in history, and Joe figured if he was going to sit there for 6 hours and 59 minutes, who would care if he added a measly 60 seconds? The press box cheered when he made his time announcement.
Thanks, boss!

Until his arm falls off, I guess.
Then I suppose it’ll be Santiago.

Yo
Have I mentioned that I don’t care much for Freddy Dolsi?

but ...
Do you want to push him off a cliff and listen to the sweet sounds of his screams as his body shatters on the rocks below?
I do.

There was one game
I remember in 1998-1999 against the Red Sox that went 20 innings
Gibby was the color commentator and I remember them talking about beef jerkey or slim jims
I was about to post a bootleg overflow thread myself

Law of averages states that Miggy is gonna run into one eventually
Oh and who will be the first starter we’ll see?
He's been better, recently...
…and I’m usually one of his more loyal supporters, but man, he sucks against the Twins.
Probably would fare better than Santiago, though, I suppose.

“C’mon, Santiago!” I don’t think I’ve ever heard Mario do that…rooting for a guy like that. Someone wants to go to the hotel.

Three thoughts:
1. Why can’t any Tigers pitcher throw strikes to Nick Punto? He has drawn a ridiculous number of walks this year from us, especially for someone with a low batting average and no power, and a lot of those walks have led to big rallies.
2. Can Zach Miner not pitch for the rest of the series? I don’t know why, but he has pitched really badly at the Metrodome this year.
3. This game is gonna screw up the entire bullpen (and possibly the rotation) for the rest of the weekend, isn’t it?

Those seem to be the most basic skills required of a pitcher, and he keeps screwing up.

Ordinarily I'd walk this bastard.
But you cannot put the winning run in the batters box. Seriously. It’s against the rules of managing.

Why warm up a pitcher when you plan on killing the one you have on the mound?
I question you Leyland.

This team has serious heart
Hey everybody, think how down you were when you checked on your cell phone expecting to see a 7-something Tigers victory only to see a mysterious 7-7 tie. This team battled it out tonight and came back for an incredibly important victory. Hats off to the whole team. Special tip of the hat to the kid Freddy Dolsi for not melting down and keeping the Tigs in it.

Exaggerating much? Don’t you remember the boring innings in between in which we scored no runs (or hits for that matter).
I LOVE YOU GUYS
in a strictly platonic, internet friends kind of way, of course
but no, really…5 hour game, and a few of us made it all the way? That seriously rocks…or we’re insane, whatever….

definitely insane
although the wife and I went grocery shopping during the 10th, 11th, and 12th innings.
