PrintJarrod Washburn's Tigers debut probably could've gone better. Is that an understatement?
Not a fun night at Comerica Park. Orioles 7, Tigers 1 going into the seventh inning.

a tiger of his own!
Stunningly like the Tigers in this very game – flat and sleepy.

Tigers need to......
A) get into a bench-clearing brawl
B) get Leyland AND some players ejected out of a game
C) throw at someone’s head
This team is bored, they need something to fire them up.
Like Scott's been rubbing off on the entire O's lineup
someone call the SVU

The M's are basically out of it, the Reds stink thanks to Dusty, and the Tigers are treading water.
August baseball is fantastic!
hate Dusty Baker
I’d run him over with my own car that I’m still paying on, not even a rental. :(
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
He ran the Reds pitching staff into the ground.
I hate his work but I must applaud just how viciously efficient he is at killing starters.
I would beat him to a bloody pulp with his own severed arms
for what he did to Mark Prior. God, I loved, LOVED watching that young man pitch and Dusty destroyed him.

The Reds #1 starter this year is going in for Tommy John surgery (Dusty's back)
Harang has sucked since Dusty came in, Micah Owings has arm problems and Cueto may be in trouble.
Arroyo is going to be Cincinnati’s Zambrano – the lone survivor.
spirits lifted, slightly
just came across a photo of my ex on facebook
his newish girlfriend isn’t nearly as cute as me.
Facebook stalking is one of my #1 activities

Oh I've looked at my high school class
(and I don’t have mine listed in my profile) and all I can say is next reunion, I’m going. These people don’t look any better than me!!!!
I don't want to know about my ex-boyfriends
In case one of them is out of prison, or something.

haha
Guy who had a crush on me all through grade school and junior high – in college I found out he was in Jackson for grand theft auto and armed robbery. :)
I haven’t dated seriously in so long and suck at keeping track of people anyway that I have no idea what is going on with them. I hope they are doing alright, though – except for a couple.

Just tuned into Gamecast. Ugh. Nice of the old, sucky Jarrod Washburn to show up.
Well, I guess he’s no Doyle Alexander, who did go 10-0 for us in 1987. I just hope French doesn’t turn into the next John Smoltz.

You're right. Sorry. It's just their performance of late has me in full-on
glass-half-empy mode.

BYB Gear?
Anyone know if you can purchase the shirts shown on this website……I’m looking for the Proceed to Purchase icon….don’t see it.
you clicked on Le your Torso Roar?
That should get you there.
If not, I have a “No Squandering” shirt I can sell you. Cheap.
Yep....clicked on that.....
But don’t see the Proceed to Purchase icon as it suggests and when start typing in my address it gets a screwy…..
did you select your items first?
Add the shirts to your shopping cart and then click on the Purchase tab on the top – you will get the option to either Continue Shopping or Proceed to Purchase from that screen.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
yes you can
click on the BYB gear thingie on the sidebar and it takes you to a different site with a couple pages of shirts.
I have bought two of them – they are excellent quality, didn’t fall apart or have the words peel off after the first washing, and are very comfortable. Were shipped very quickly, too. :)
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
they are fairly long, though
I just got a regular size large, and it’s longer on me than my other t-shirts of a similar size. If all you need are a few more inches, they might be fine.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
You might also consider sizing up one size, too.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
then try the XXL
It’s also a good solid cotton knit, so it shouldn’t shrink much in length, especially if you wash it in cold water (I always do to minimize fading).

How are the kids in the sweatshop doing these days?
Did you have to lay off a few due to the poor economy?
Yeah, those aren't big sellers
I expect to re-package them as car wash rags.

Sometimes I feel bad for them,
but most of the time I just laugh to myself when i see someone in a Willis jersey.
awwwwww .....
I feel like averting my eyes, too.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
That is exactly how I feel.
Seriously, to get worked like this at home, and for the second time in 3 days, is beyond alarming.
BYB Gear
Somebody else attempt to buy a shirt and tell me if they are having the same problems……
- left and right side of page is missing…..can’t see instructions…..won’t accept data info.
Do you use Firefox or Explorer? I have had trouble while using explorer before, but not with FF.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
my Explorer works fine
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
I'm being completely serious
I bought a t-shirt tonight with no problem.
What browser are you using? I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
by Ian Casselberry on Aug 4, 2009 9:33 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm using Vista Internet Explorer, too
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
okay, let's see ...
When you first click you will see a page with all the shirts. Can you select the size of the one you want, and add it to your shopping cart by clicking the little shopping cart symbol underneath it?
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
But you’re not able to enter any shipping info?
by Ian Casselberry on Aug 4, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
"Address Data" has stuck and is good
Now I’m on Payment Method……
I entered my payment info……then clicked on 4 – Conformation…..the screen went back to the Payment method screen and erased all my Payment Method info.
did you click on the box for accepting the Terms and Conditions?
The first time I went through the process I didn’t click on it, and when I clicked on the Continue to Payment Method (at the bottom of the screen) it kicked me right back to the address page.
Double check that.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
also
Scroll down and click on the Review Order button after you enter the payment information, instead of clicking on the Confirmation tab at the top of the screen. Some catalogs will go either way, but this one doesn’t – you have to review the order.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Thanks
Thanks for all your help…..it eventually worked……for some reason the entire page does not show up on my screen….the left and right parts of the webpage are missing….I figured out if I hit the tab button the screen will shift to the icons that I need to click on.
good
Glad it worked. The next option I was going to suggest was just emailing me your credit card number. I assure you I am VERY trustworthy. :)
I was actually really impressed with how quickly I got my order. I’m used to waiting a couple weeks, and I think I got it in about four days.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
okay ...
Now just above your shopping cart, there is a Continue Shopping button on the left and a Proceed to Purchase button on the right.
The Proceed to Purchase doesn’t take you to the address information page?
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
He didn't think he'd be on camera

Stupid Tigers.
Phooey on them not winning when you can actually join us for a game thread. Goodnight.
Better luck next time for the kitties.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
excellent!
Should be there pretty quickly – I think I got mine in about four days.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Ian.....
Do you get any commission from this sale…..jsut curious…..at first I thought these were your t-shirts…..but learning this is just a company that advertises on your website????
it might be less of a headache for you
To get a plain one yourself and decorate it with fabric paint pens from a local craft supply store. :)
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
//heavy sigh
Well, goodnight folks. Better luck next time (hopefully).
Go, Tigers!
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
I hope I don't fall asleep tomorrow
cause I’ll be @ Comerica….lol
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.

Been home from work since the bottom of the seventh...
It’ll be hard to do a personal assessment of Washburn when I never got the chance to see him.
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
Can I ask a question of all you stat lovers who follow Tiger prospects?
I know people are fond of Alex Avila because of his offensive production, but how does he do on defense? Cuz to me, if you’re a catcher and you hit well but don’t throw runners out, etc, you’re not a big help.

No! I hate the Red Sox!
(Unless there’s some deeper meaning that I missed somewhere)
