PrintOkay, I'm on the ball this time around. (But big thanks to Kurt for helping me out over the last two nights.)
I don't know how anyone's going to be able to sleep tonight without having Zach Miner nightmares. Why does he enjoy bringing us pain?
Tigers have a 5-3 lead over the Angels, heading to the bottom of the eighth.

I can’t believe Donovan’s like 28. I swear he was on the national team when I was born.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
Gee, why would anyone root for that guy?
by Ian Casselberry on Aug 26, 2009 1:06 AM EDT reply actions
yeah
I mean, it isn’t as though he ever does anything exciting or anything. :)

"The Cletemeister"?
Do not let that stick, Mario.

Don’t be a hater. I’m going to lead that bandwagon for Cletemeister!
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
He's Mister Cletemeister
I’m Mister Right Field, I’m Mister Glove. I’m Mister Hand Blister, I’m Mister .272. They call me Cletemeister, whatever I touch… starts to land in my clutch…I’m too much!
Cleeeeete, the Cletemeister
Catchin’ flyouts, makin’ copays…

Unless this game goes deep into extra innings, I may as well stick around for the end. I’m already past the point of no return.

In conclusion
Bobby Seay is WAY more dependable that Miner. Miner struggles for his outs, Seay gets them quickly.
Sorry, Miggy
You’re not getting the triple. You’re just not.
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
Let's keep things in perspective
Clete doesn’t make that catch and it’s still 5-4, right? I mean assuming Seay buckles down and gets the final out after that hit….
Maybe Ducks fans?

for real
Very distinct, but it was quiet, so probably just a handful of drunken idiots.

Who's closing?
I'm hittin' .361, don't y'all mess with me.
by StorminNormanCash on Aug 26, 2009 1:10 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
One would think Rodney
But after Miner came back last inning, I even have a chance to be closing, who knows……..
Apologies on the terrible timing with the Overflow Thread link
See how fast you can fall out of practice?

in other news, Nate Robertson pitched very well tonight, Bondo not so much
from Billfer’s site:
“Nate Robertson started and went 6.2 innings, he allowed 3 hits, no runs, 2 walks, and he fanned 9 – and it only took him 68 pitches to do it. Jeremy Bonderman didn’t fare as well allowing 2 runs on 2 hits and a walk in 1 inning.”
If nothing else...
I don’t think Oliver can pitch tomorrow. he’s thrown quite a bit the last two days.
I don't know if that was sarcasm
or if you just weren’t around when they were talking about how that IS J.K. Simmons and he’s a big Detroit fan. It’s too late for my sarcasm detector to work.
by kendra.michelle on Aug 26, 2009 1:14 AM EDT up reply actions
No, I just started watching around the 7th. It was not sarcasm.
Did not know the guy was a Detroiter either.
Gotcha
glad I explained it then. Apparently he’s a Detroit native. I didn’t know either.
by kendra.michelle on Aug 26, 2009 1:16 AM EDT up reply actions
whatever happens...
i completely agree with fernando in there right now…if he blows it, well that’s bad
Has Figgins led off every single inning? It sure seems like it.

I've got a bad feeling...
And it’s not the jalapeño chips.

Whammmmy
Wish it was 95 in the zone though

He has one but almost never uses it
It wasn’t doing anything for him in spring training

Check that
I am now officially freaking out
by kendra.michelle on Aug 26, 2009 1:19 AM EDT up reply actions
When used effectively it can get runners out, though.
See Zach Miner
by BarbaroGarbeyc1984 on Aug 26, 2009 1:21 AM EDT up reply actions
That only works if there's a runner coming home

Wheeeee!!!
How exciting!

I am going to close my eyes
for 3 minutes.
At which point, I may or may not come back here and swear repeatedly.
See you in 3 minutes.
I don't have a signature.
prepare for rodney save situation #32
get a runner to 3rd with no one out, Then dust off the side
The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer
Grandy with a homer, and two run-scoring saves. Makes you forget about all those K’s, huh?
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
I'm glad I didn't eat more earlier when I thought about it
or it’d be all threatening to come back up
by kendra.michelle on Aug 26, 2009 1:24 AM EDT reply actions
give vlad something in a nearby township, he'll still swing through it
The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer
2 gone. And I expect apologies to fernando Rodney from all of you if he gets this
you still owe him for last night
The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer
Everyone admit it, Rodney gets the job done.
The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer
He does
he just occasionally makes me want to cry and puke while he does it
by kendra.michelle on Aug 26, 2009 1:27 AM EDT up reply actions
he gets the job done
I just wish he wasn’t such a drama queen about it. He’s taking years off my live and graying my hair with each save.

So far, so good

Good way to end it right there.
With a GIF. If I had any kind of powers, I’d give you Game Thread MVP tonight

That was bad...

Guaranteed .500 (at least) on this road trip.

Oh my freaking lord, I had no expectations of taking two from the Angels.
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out …

Somehow I kind of figured something like this would happen
We lose 2 to the last place team and take (at least) 2 from the first place team. Silly baseball.
by kendra.michelle on Aug 26, 2009 1:28 AM EDT up reply actions
well guys, no 1:30 afterglowing for me. I pick sleep
The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer
Thank you
this is always necessary after a Rodzilla save.

Not to get greedy..
but did anyone see that broom lying around? Seriously, it’s some way to break the road series win streak.
You know, when we actually go to a game next season
We are going to need a few dozen posters or we won’t be able to react properly to the game situations without the required visuals. :)

I like this picture. For it's implied craziness.
Just thought I’d say that.
I don't have a signature.
I like how the leg of the chair gives that one man a Leyland mustache

Oh, good observation!
I like how some are smiling and some appear horrified.
I don't have a signature.
Once again we are one short of Arby's
but unlike Rod, I think a win is more important.

Well this place sure cleared out fast
For anyone still here, I’m going to sleep happy for the second night in a row. G’night!

I'm only staying up for the Leyland postgame interview
Then I’m off to bed as well.

Wow, short soundbite tonight
That’s it for me. I’ll be a total zombie in class tomorrow, but I suppose it was worth it.
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
Wait...
They actually won?
Sorry, I was at a Concert all night and missed the entire game.
Glad to see Washburn pitch good against a great hitting team (unlike his one and only other good outing). And another MVP worthy performance of Cabrera. I’m speechless… This team is so unpredictable.
