PrintOh, it's a hopping night in the GameThread! Armando Galarraga looks like someone who doesn't want to be in the starting rotation anymore, while Alex Avila already looks ready to be a mainstay in the Tigers' lineup. But for the second straight game, Detroit pounced on a rookie early and chased him out of the game, which is encouraging.
Tigers 7, Twins 4 going into the fifth inning.

Yep
I was surprised in the 3rd inning.

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
From alli, before she left for the night
i also blame armando for this epic level of traffic
Boy is she gonna be surprised.
Maybe if they wrote "Throw Strikes" on Armando's forehead
Like that Little Caesar’s guy who has to pick up the sides.
If we see him come out for his next game covered in Post-Its, we’ll know.
maybe we could buy some time on the rolling ad behind homeplate?
would could put it there as a reminder!
he can't see it, though
Everyone else would have to have a “Throw Strikes” post it on their cap, so wherever he looked he would see a reminder.

But he would still need Pavel Datsyuk to be the spokesperson
I love when he talks.

Pavel Datsyuk rocks
Whenever anyone says “the NHL will never be popular because not enough players speak English” I want to kick them in the groin.

I didn’t see what was soooooooo great about Wieters when they were here

yeah
because Avila knows the pain from the cut is just not enough
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
that fly ball went an uncomfortably long distance, though

I will be kicked out of here, but
I actually like Buehrle. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Tigers uni.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
I like him, too - a lot
When he isn’t pitching against the Tigers. I’ll LOVE him if he gets traded from the Sox.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
I like him too
He just happens to play for the wrong team.
by kendra.michelle on Aug 7, 2009 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I actually think he is very smart
I learn something almost every time I watch.
(I also think he says some of the weirdest/ funniest stuff on TV)
bad throwing by the Twinkies
I have no idea where the Minnesota goofiness has come from, but I hope it sticks around for a while.

Midlanders are awfully mellow. I had forgotten how safe the town is – when I moved back to the area from Baltimore, it took six months before I stopped carrying my cash in my bra and put it back in my wallet in my purse.

OH MY AVILA!
I just realized I saw him a bunch when he was with the Caps! I totally forgot he played with them!
::brain explodes::
randomly?
It makes it sound like he homered from the on-deck circle or something. :)
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
I wouldn't be surprised if the other 7 were off the Tigers....
Last year anyways. He was killing us.

Must I repeat,
Who the fuck is Kelly Shoppach!?

i thin he randomly homered

I am shocked that Mauer has four hits
Only because it feels like he has fourteen in this game. :(

I hope someone checks
on Gardenhire in the clubhouse, He may have had a coronary in theere by now

tooting my own horn here, but

!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*
Freaking Twinkies.

Who couldn't pitch for the Tigers bullpen?
As far as I’m concerned, we’re all RP prospects for the Tigers.
Hey,
how did your test go Tagne? I forgot about it.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
I take it that's a good thing?

have i missed anything?
6 run first for the Tigers….and it’s still a ballgame….why am I not surprised?

ouch
that really, really hurts. i think i’m going to go cry now. i’ll join edwin in the corner; he’s there because he doesn’t understand the number 9
That would be the only hot part of her for me.
Maybe if you rip her vocal cords out, I’ll think about it.
Wide hips are super hot.
Once in a while, I think she's hot
Like when she makes the motorcycle noises.

That's why I love Rod....
“in a pickle”…haven’t heard that in a long time.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
does anyone think grandy was (legitmately) safe on that rundown
ive seen it 14 times still cant spot the tag
Have people noticed?
That the ladies on this board have been sizing up the Tigers like pieces of meat? I mean it’s ok — but it’s sorta odd.
It's exploitive, and frankly a little hurtful

Kind of refreshing.

HA!
I am gonna send him a copy of something else….
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
If Avila gets another hit in this game
I may consider working harder at pronouncing his name as “ah-vee-uh” instead of “uh-veal-uh”.
after the way he pitched
Even his mom is shaking her head and yelling at him to throw strikes.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Actually
Probably one of his finer moments… That was the first time I had ever seen wiper blade goggles… pretty good
I dunno, he looks like the guy you might also see in this....
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
he got that from the A's
I think it was Eric Byrnes did it for the A’s playoff celebration a week or two earlier

Jason is just a bad-luck name.
Jason Grilli.

Jason Williams.

It’s great for starting pitchers, but sometimes I feel like Rod busts it out before a relief pitcher has even finished one AB. Kinda annoying.
Ahhhh....
I could take one of those. Three pieces of ice, please.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
First I couldn't get into the new game thread (or any other window)
then I lost the game. Then I lost aim. Had to restart and find a new wireless Internet to pirate.
Everything settling in yet? Or, major culture shock?
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
settling in so far
I think the culture shock will take place in the next three weeks when I have have to deal with hundreds of new people.
Ya...
What grade are you going to be teaching? And what city?
(I don’t think you German is going to help you there, though…)
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
9/10 grade English
in Baytown. and no, German will not be helpful….unless I want to sound REALLY mean, but also a little crazy :-\
hello!
We have assigned you to nurse Mauer back to health – very slowly – after he is kneecapped for getting fourteen hits in the game tonight. I know it’s a lot of extra work to take on with the school year starting and all, but I figured you might be up to it.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
are you sure?
It would be extra work in the evenings. ;)
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
seems like perry has gained some command
or is just attacking the zone a lot more
Yeah, he's getting more 2 strike counts,
keeping the batters from being too aggressive.
He’s looked good for sure.
I'm glad he didn't.
Ran out of gas last time – and he learned from the experience.

And carlitos of course
by allikazoo on Aug 7, 2009 9:36 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
That just shows what a good team we are.
Others pick up the slack when the loud mouths talkative folks are sidelined
The negative about Avila's early skills
is that I am really anxious for his next at-bat, and if he doesn’t get a hit, I may cry/scream.
y'all hear the jays put rios on the waiver wires
and someone claimed him … no word on which team yet, though a few teams like the red sox, reds, and giants have denied any connections
anyone want to speculate on the tigers adding 60 M to their payroll?
I saw a lot of chatter in comment sections about the SUX.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
If Avila sticks around, at least he will be able to show Rick and Ryan how to shave when their time comes.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
I do believe
he is going to be here for the duration. How long did they sign G$ for?
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
I don't want to break up this love fest, but
if you remember last year….Ryan hit the ball quite well while he was with us. He is a good one, but he’s going to have some growing pains.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
With the way this kid is playing
I think they’re going to keep him around for a while
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
Dunno. But I agree, he doesn't look like a hit-or-miss kind of guy
He looks like a hit-or-hit kind of guy.
I believe he has one more arbitration eligible year.
by Ian Casselberry on Aug 7, 2009 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions
They didn't sign him.
I think he has one more arbitration year left.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
yeah, they already have my money
do we really need to be subjected to ads

Isn't it refreshing when the Tigers remind us of that!
