We now know that Jarrod Washburn can serve up some bazooka shot home runs to straight-away center field. But we also now know that the Tigers have some comeback in them. What can Washburn do with his first lead as a Tiger?
Tigers 4, Twins 3 going to the fifth inning!

so just a bunch of guys then
well at least hte game is on

Not to be the turd in the punch bowl
but as previously stated, Magglio is now a mere 100 plate appearances from being on the books for 18 mill next year. With 53 games to go, he almost certainly will get there.
right
Save the negativity for later.

got it and responded
I feel like I’m setting up a blind drop in a spy novel. “I’ll be wearing a pale blue shirt with the collar turned up on the left side, and carrying a black briefcase with a badly scuffed handle.” :D

And an open notebook in front of me on the cafe table. When you approach, do not look at the briefcase or the notebook, but ask, “Excuse me, but do you have the time?” I will respond by telling you, “I’m sorry, but my watch battery died yesterday, so I cannot help you.”
Leave the cafe and sit in the park by the gyro kiosk, and you will be contacted by my associate.

Yeah, there’s going to be a tough decision to make.
But if Maggs is hitting, I think the Tigers might somehow live with this.

getting Span OUT for a change
Is a good start toward that goal.

Thank you, Miguel!

Glad to see that the Tigers offense takes off after I get back home. Unfortunately I walked in to see the back-to-back Minny homers to CF.
Just had to ask this though: anyone remember the Eric Munson HR to CF that landed IN the camera well? That Delmon Young HR was the furthest ball I’ve seen hit to CF since then, unless I’m forgetting one.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
I ca't recall one
But I remember how far that homer went.

but he was doing so well

nice name drop, Rod

Our offense was hot before hitting the brick wall that is Pavano.
But we’ve picked right back up again.
Pavano = Tiger kryptonite

Saw Batting Stance Guy on Letterman
he’s actually pretty funny… he admits he has no idea how he became famous nor that he should have… but he did. Can’t blame the guy…

I liked the Letterman bit
but it’s just gotten old now.

honestly
he’s contributing now. that’s why he’s still playing at this point. here’s to hoping he contributes a bunch next year too
Going on record here
Yesterday’s game was a fluke for the Twinkies. It was their last gasp at winning the division and they gave it everything. Today’s game (and Friday’s) is much more exemplary of Tigers vs. Twins from now on.
Problem with Magg’s hips opening up so much, it makes him susceptible to the outside pitch, no? When do/will pitchers realize this?
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
I can't even make an educated guess.
But both of his singles today were on pitches on the outer half of the plate.
your attempt at motivation
is making me tired. I think I’ll lay in bed for a while (since i’m already there).

washburn has a decent lead
time to give him a decent outfielder
by Kurt Mensching on Aug 9, 2009 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions
Jarrod Washburn looks like a cross between Keifer Sutherland and a rabbit. Someone get Samara on this, please.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
On the up side of that
it could be Carlos out there

chances Span goes from 0 for 2 to 0 for 3?
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
whew
Washburn = Span kryptonite

the Sux announcers leave a lot of dead air time
Once again reminding me how much I love Rod and Mario
it could be worse
Hawk could be talking
by Kurt Mensching on Aug 9, 2009 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions
he was in the outfield before the ball got there
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
That was hit so hard it knocked the guy over!
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
Scorekeeper better call that a hit or O-Cab will be a-callin’ him in between innings.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
does the ump get credit for a block on that
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
clete
you have your two mistakes sitting on 1st and 2nd
Bobby looks forward
Brandon Lyon does not
by Kurt Mensching on Aug 9, 2009 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions
that would have been an 8
but since it took a second attempt i’ll have two deduct a point or two.

Manufacturing runs
Is it me or does Leyland play for the big inning EVERY TIME?
That has cost us games and we need to start hitting with 2 outs and runners in scoring postion our LOB this year is horrible……3 hole going into today has 44 RBI’s worst in the bigs……Ok enough venting love the team GO TIGERS
speaking of neauuuu
Neo, Mr Anderson, is 0-1 today
by Kurt Mensching on Aug 9, 2009 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions
lazy ass
in left today..Pick up the f-ing pace
What? He was a fraction of a second away from getting Morneau at 2nd. What more do people want from him? He’s not Roberto Clemente in the OF.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
not as bad
Most outfielders play pretty deep for Morneau. He got it right on the bag at second.

perry?
this could be a strikeout or the beginning of an 11 run inning
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
Have I expressed lately how much I
Loathe the Twins?

“Despite Alex Avila’s fast bat in his first two games, he isn’t likely to be a pinch-hitter on non-catching days because it eliminates him as a catching option later in the game if necessary. He will catch next on Tuesday.”
Although, if it’s late in the game, I don’t see how that eliminates him as a catching option.
Hmmm would I rather throw out the first pitch
have a fantasy batting practice experience or spend 3 hours win the booth with Mario and Rod.
Well, apparently hitting it in the air is an automatic DP for Maggs.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
It’s not just PA’s, he can get it with 270 games started between 2008 and 2009 or just 135 starts in 2009.
# 2010 option guaranteed at $18M if Ordonez has:
* 135 starts or 540 PAs in 2009, or
* 270 starts or 1,080 PAs in 2008-09
# 2011 option guaranteed at $15M if Ordonez has:
* 135 starts or 540 PAs in 2010, or
* 270 starts or 1,080 PAs in 2009-10
So, he’s at 228 starts the last two seasons and at 84 this year. So he’s got 52 games after today, and if he starts just 42 of them to get to 270 starts.
And now at Beyond the Boxscore!
