Game 107: Post-Game Open Thread

except the last two where I would put

which really shocked the hell out of the pitching staff, and the bullpen didn’t blow it in the end.

also, my unsolicited thoughts on avila: bitchin as well. I know he won’t be this amazing every single time he plays (or will he?) but I was thoroughly impressed. he did not seem like a rook out there at all, in anything he did.

Wow, the Tigers looked _young____! Porcello had a ___swell_____ game, and Avila really ___aroused______ me. The lineup scored way too many_ runs, which really __aroused____ the pitching staff, and the bullpen ____Megan Fox__ it in the end

Wow, the Tigers looked GOOD AT BASEBALL! Porcello had a helluva 4-innings-of-no-hitter-which-allowed-me-to-entertain-the-elation-I-would-feel-had-that-actually-happened game, and Avila really earned some love from me. The lineup scored 7 runs, which really floored the pitching staff, and the bullpen didn’t melt into a giant puddle of disaster it in the end.

and check this kid out.

every game!

only 7 minutes more…then I can leave.

Yay.

[16:04] kendra: haha camden chat hates clete
[16:05] kendra: i mean obviously if they consider him the oriole killer but they are very vocal about it

[16:05] alli: “the clete” it makes me laugh so much that he is considered a threat
[16:05] kendra: haha i know
[16:05] alli: I mean, duh he’s awesome, but he’s so nice and cute and.. doe-eyed
[16:06] kendra: i know he does not look threatening at all
[16:06] kendra: they must be intimidated by the fact that he doesn’t need to blink
[16:06] alli: probably
[16:06] alli: i would be.
[16:06] alli: WAIT A MINUTE
[16:06] alli: I just thought of something
[16:06] alli: if he doesnt bnlink

[16:07] alli: where’s NCDee
[16:07] kendra: hahahahahahahahaha now i’m just picturing clete making out with someone with his eyes wide open
[16:07] kendra: his poor wife
[16:07] alli: im gonna copy paste this into the open thread, haha
[16:07] kendra: good
[16:07] kendra: it should be shared with the masses

- Ordonez is hitting .316 in his last 10 games

- Porcello (10-7) became just the second pitcher in franchise history with double digits in wins at the age of 20 or younger, joining Dave Rozema, who had 11 victories before his 21st birthday.

- The Tigers hit for the cycle as a team in a span of five at-bats in the second inning to help them take a 4-0 lead.

"It was kind of a fun inning," Leyland said

And every one was met with a small exception. I wanted a complete game from JV, EJ going into the 9th was close enough

You may be the first person to replace Cameron Maybin as “My position player Tiger of the future.” It has been a long time coming.

Ryan Perry and Fu Te Ni.

sorry, this is what happens when there is day games during the week and nothing but a void of boredom at night

Why didn’t you people warn me about the shots of Avila’s mother and father? I would have bought Kleenex on the way home!

What a nice running catch in the 7th inning. If I were a joining type of person, I’d be looking at how to become a member of his cult.

I can’t believe I missed this game. STUPID MEIJER!!!

Great game. Very impressed with Avila, Jr. The Tigers looked great today.

my dad read the score wrong at a bar and said we lost 7-3.

and the twins lost
and the sux lost

life is good for one day.

porcello for rookie of the year???

Wow, the Tigers looked like a playoff team! Porcello had a __great_____ game, and Avila really ___suprised______ me. The lineup scored seven runs, which really ___helped____ the pitching staff, and the bullpen held it together__ it in the end.

I knew Avila’s bat was ready but damn. Laird needs to watch his job because Avila called a good game and looked solid defensively behind the dish. Some called it desperation with callin’ Avila up I call it being smart, Ryan is nothing but a MLB back up and he needs to work on his hitting at this level still.

Wow, the Tigers looked _adjective______! Porcello had a _adjective_______ game, and Avila really ______verb (past tense)_______ me. The lineup scored ____number____ runs, which really _verb (past tense)_ the pitching staff, and the bullpen _verb (past tense)_ it in the end.

This is how I would have completed it:

Wow, the Tigers looked ____very sharp______! Porcello had a ______solid______ game, and Avila really _impressed me with his poise______ me. The lineup scored _seven (really? SEVEN? Wow!)____ runs, which really _thrilled______ the pitching staff, and the bullpen _saved_____ it in the end.

And this is how my younger brothers would have completed it:

Wow, the Tigers looked ____poopy______! Porcello had a ______silent but deadly______ game, and Avila really _farted______ me. The lineup scored _125____ runs, which really _decapitated______ the pitching staff, and the bullpen _amputated_____ it in the end.

Clearly you can tell who had the more serious attitude toward completing Mad Libs in my family. They did always get the tenses correct, though.
