how about Grandy third to home?

It's good....
but I love seeing him run home to third, or first to home. 90 feet just doesn’t do the same thing.

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
We've drawn blood from Nathan?
OMW, He’s human after all!
(Or should that be OMA???)

Let me just say, it's about fucking time.
NOW, if they could score on him when we actually need to….

A hallucination, in the broadest sense, is a perception in the absence of a stimulus.
In a stricter sense, hallucinations are defined as perceptions in a conscious and awake state in the absence of external stimuli which have qualities of real perception, in that they are vivid, substantial, and located in external objective space.
I will have smell hallucinations
Tuna fish, brownies, or popcorn, usually. Very strange.

I have a hellacious time at work when there's a day game
Our firewall really really hates something on this site.
Unfortunately
that insurance run just took out the save situation…is Rodney still getting the call for the 9th?
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I bet yes
Leyland likes to keep him busy.

I am sure there are some errands to run.....
You know, like picking up another carton of smokes or something.
"Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not"
god i hope not
rodney is awful when its not a save opp..
although, he took care of business last time out
to set up Clete’s walk off
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
really?
Did we just score a run off Nathan?
…feels like the first time…
I honestly believe.....
earlier in the year Rodney was putting runners on just to create save opp.
you mean, like when Dennis Rodman used to blow all those layups
just to give himself more rebounds?

I feel better knowing that Joe Crede isn't in the game

Mario : The Tigers scored a run and took Rodney out of save territory.
Even he is thanking his lucky stars we scored another run.
In save situations, yes

….he hasnt had a bad outting in like 2 and half months…..I think they can drop that whole non save thing

well he did blow a save last week
his first of the year, which backs up your first statement

Bennie is right
Rodney may not be a “lights out” closer. but he is more than adequate and gets the job done
Rdoney was getting booed
bigtime when I was at the game the other night. Not just by me, but by everyone
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
Ah The game where....
……he got the save and didnt allow any runs……Ok my bad…..Geez whats he gota do…..he got 3 outs and the tigs won

10-6
Hopefully this doesn’t turn into a Lions having the 4th q lead against the Vikings type of situation.
ah, the inevitable touchdown with less than three minutes left
leading to the inevitable (fill in any Lions QB) turnover to seal the deal…
all in all, I’m glad it’s baseball tonight…
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
How many years ago did that happen?
I can’t recall them having many leads….

I don't like them because they are designed by engineers

Lyon was pretty lights out last inning. What’s wrong with having him finish up this non-save situation?
