PrintVerlander. Weaver. You wanted a pitching duel? Oh, you've got one.
Tigers have a 1-0 lead over the Angels heading to the fifth. Can you (can I?) stay awake?

Oh, dear
I got so caught up in the game that I almost forgot to print off the notes I need for tomorrow.

And I'm off to bed.
But I leave you with one thought: We have been worshiping at the wrong altar. Verlander is God.
G'night
and yeah, JV was my religion on facebook for a while. haha.

Grandy still has to homer in this game
He might only get one more at-bat against Weaver. Maybe.

To: Aubrey Huff, Re: Hitting
Hit it past the pitcher, please?
Ok, that was ugly, but you get another chance.
At what point does it cease to be a popout and become a flyout?

I'm pissed...
If Mauer wasn’t hitting unbelievable, Cabrera could be contending for the batting title.
If I remember correctly...
Mark Carlson has kind of a tight strike zone, doesn’t he?

Hello
It took me the last three innings just to catch up with the thread!

At least it wasn't a double play.
Maybe Razor can run into one. Weaver is starting to leave pitches up.
And with the exception of the earlier pop-up
Laird’s been looking a bit better at the plate recently.

I can cope with poor hitting
If he keeps playing that well defensively.

When did Weaver cut his hair?
He looks sooooo diferent – with it long, he looked just like Jeff.
And woooo, Ramon!

I said the same thing earlier
I don’t remember Weaver’s hair being that short. Was it a superstition thing?

by SabreRoseTiger on Aug 25, 2009 12:03 AM EDT up reply actions
don't know
He had it long for a while, and was pitching very well – maybe he just got bored with it long.
I did not recognize him at all.

Honestly, I wanna leave Granderson in here.
He needs to eventually learn to hit lefties and you know he won’t ground into a DP.
That said, he’ll probably strike out but his defense in center is too valuable to take him out.
Likely Raburn and Clete will make their way into the game eventually

struggled is an understatement

Oooh and another reason to keep him in is that he'll get at least another AB
And Grandy kills it at this park

When you've already scored three runs in the inning
If they don’t get more, is it still squandering?

I think only if they do something silly like run into outs

Granderson must have thought:
“I couldn’t catch that”, so that automatically means Torii can’t either.
He checked his swing, though
Didn’t look like he was taking all the way

I honestly thought we’d get swept, MAYBE winning this game by 1 run.

This is what we got you for Aubrey….no pressure with this lead….lessee what you got…
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Is it a safe enough lead for me to go to bed yet?
No, we need to make sure we’re up by more than TWO grand slams for that…
maybe it's safe now
But do you WANT to miss this? Who knows when we’ll see this kind of offense again?

cabrera 2 run double, guillen goes yard for 3
those were the memorable RBI’s

no he hasn't
And I’m very happy to see that. He’s a good guy and they missed him.

I'm not really sure, actually.
I remember a walk for Maggs, and a hit for Cabrera, and a homer from Guillen, and a bunch of other stuff.
