I dont like how much they are talking up verlander

about how they just assume he’s gonna be perfect tomorrow. jinx for days

by allikazoo on Aug 7, 2009 10:58 PM EDT reply actions  

yes

“Chicago’s loss”
it has a sweet sound to it

Is it safe to talk about Rios now?

From mlbtraderumors:

“10:02pm: Olney is now reporting that the White Sox “are most likely the team awarded claim on Rios,” however the Jays have yet to confirm it."

Guess that ties their money up for a while.

by NCDee on Aug 7, 2009 11:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes, it is now safe to talk about Rios

And thank you for acknowledging (or bothering to read) that others posted something about his waiver claim.

what is going to be even sadder

than the money they spent, is when they lose the division anyway….

that’s even more pathetic than my original statement

I believe Toronto could just say, “Okay, take him then.”

by Ian Casselberry on Aug 7, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think Dombrowski could say the same thing.

Although he’s probably saying it with a little more confidence after the last couple games.

by NCDee on Aug 7, 2009 11:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

how quickly we forget

the inconsistency in our offense, not me, not yet. They need to win a few more by more than 1 run for me to let it go.

but i do agree with what you’re saying though.

I know that Illich said he would do whatever he needed to do, but 60m is a whole lot of money, especially with all of these other paydays coming due…

chicago lost too, good night.

The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer

by Vreeland2 on Aug 7, 2009 11:06 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm going to bed too.

final thoughts: Good win tonight. Good to see Avila having early success up here and giving us some spark. Its really nice to see the Tigers scoring runs. Enjoy the game tomorrow everybody. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch the end again.

Night.

Typical Yankees-Sox game

A nine inning game goes on all night.

by NCDee on Aug 7, 2009 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

it's crazy

12 innings and only three red sox hits

by mrsunshine on Aug 7, 2009 11:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's kind of ironic in a sad sort of way

they deserve each other.

Well last night the final was 6-13

So I guess it’s fitting that this one be extremely low-scoring?

Very handsome and interesting woman on Bill Moyers

but I admit I like him better when he oh so very politely and gently skewers someone.

he is a badass

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.

by Detroitchik on Aug 7, 2009 11:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes, he is.

But he sticks the knife in so cleanly I don’t think most people realize they’ve been wounded.

by NCDee on Aug 7, 2009 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

he’s very casual about it. Some people think he’s being amusing, but he’s being a smart ass. I love it. Like Jon Stewart, but way more subtle

I had higher hopes when they said “streaking Tigers”. Although I would probably be blinded by the white glow of Clete’s butt.

I LOVE that he got a standing ovation for that

imagine Monday at work…
“Hey Bob, saw you on TV Friday. WTF was that about? Didn’t you bring a glove?”
“Shut up Bill. I don’t want to talk about it.”
“But you got a standing O for falling on your face! That was awesome!”
“Shut up Bill.”

at least that’s what it looks like in my head

I'd just like to apologize to all the men

since earlier it was mentioned that the Tigers were being referred to as if they are “pieces of meat,” but come on. Streaking Tigers. How are we going to pass that up?

by kendra.michelle on Aug 7, 2009 11:51 PM EDT reply actions  

They aren't pieces of meat?

And here I thougt they were our Megan Fox.

What a game!

Yanks/Red Sox was a great game. What a huge home run for ARod. That’s why he’s one of the all-time greats.

yep

probably the greatest juicer ever to play the game.

It's raining, it's pouring

lightening and thundering, too, here in south central MI at 10:00 am. Might get the game in tonight and/or might not. Absolutely pouring right now.

"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti

farther north in Michigan

It’s supposed to move out of the area by mid-afternoon. Maybe it will be fine.

It is pouring rain here on the west coast and radar shows no let up

weather underground says Detroit will clear up around 2pm and become partly sunny.
I have my doubts, but let’s not give up hope

by murrajo on Aug 8, 2009 11:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

the radar i looked at looks ugly

and hour-by-hour says 40% tstorms through the game.
