Tigers Lose: Game 140 Thread of Shame

And now... this has become a problem. Four straight losses? Did that off-day on Monday kill their mojo?
It's been a streaky September for the Tigers, with six wins followed by four losses. And what makes this losing skid particularly troubling is that the pitching has suddenly become a problem. In these four losses, the Tigers have given up 23 runs.
Nate Robertson left the game in the fourth inning with a groin injury. No word yet on how serious that might be, but Jim Leyland said in his post-game comments that it looked pretty likely Robertson won't make his next start. Before that, however, he was having a pretty rough night, with five walks, six hits, and two runs allowed.
Full recap tomorrow. On the bright side, the Twins are getting crushed by the A's right now, so the Tigers won't lose any ground in the AL Central. There's your consolation prize.

Per Leyland
Nate’s getting an MRI right now and will NOT make his next start

He hasn't said who is going to start

Therein lies a problem
Galarraga is not 100% healthy and needs to be shut down
Miner isn’t throwing strikes
Bonine gives up too many home runs
Quite a predicament

Curtis always makes things sound better
However, the Fat Albert T-shirt he’s wearing is making me laugh.

g'night folks
I’m going to get online and get my playoff ticket for tomorrow night’s game. Playoffs make me both extremely excited and nauseous. :)

Floyd's not going to last long in Anaheim.
He’s only given up two runs, but he’s at 44 pitches with one out in the 2nd.
I must admit, I did not expect Oakland to be beating Minnesota 12-1
Blackburn’s been on a roll, and Oakland’s starter had an ERA over 6

There's a picture behind Laird taped to his locker
It’s a picture of someone and there’s something written on it, but I don’t know what it is.

Well, pitching hasn't really been the Angels' strength this year.

Well, Kansas City has now won five in a row
They beat Cleveland 2-1 in extra innings. The depressing thing about that is that the Indians did a better job of pitching against them than the Tigers did.

I don't think so.
I believe Scott Richmond is a righty who has struggled recently. I also think he’s Canadian (not that that has anything to do with the outcome of the game).

this medication i just picked up says "take mouth by one tablet twice a day"
it’s not THAT late, mister pharmacist.
grammar fail :)

(And I always wonder if they specify taking tablets by mouth because some numbskull tried to smoke them one time or snorted it up his nostril. I wouldn’t be surprised.)

We got new software about a month ago
It took people a while to figure out the new sig codes in the computer. So we had lovely labels such as “Take 1 take once daily” and “Inhale inhale 2 puffs twice daily”

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's okay
At least, there’s no drug interactions between alcohol and cipro.
You should avoid dairy products and antacids around the time you take the cipro, though (within about 2 hours).

Sounds like that Nats-Phillies game last night
The Nationals went into the top of the ninth with an 8-2 lead and proceeded to give up five runs (four of them on a pinch-hit grand slam by Matt Stairs) before Ryan Howard hit into a game-ending double play.

Twins always seem to figure "Hey, if we're gonna lose, we're gonna make YOUR pitching staff look bad too"

my eyes are slamming shut
So I’ll say goodnight and hope for better luck (and earlier hitting!) tomorrow.
There are a full NINE innings, Tiger-dorks – you should try using all of them instead of the last three sometime. You might be surprised.

He IS starting to look slightly better (in the sense that he actually has hair now), but there's still quite a ways to go

5.5 game lead, our closest pursuer is under .500 and I'm still worried about
the Tigers coughing it up like they did in 2006. That series in Minnesota is going to be absolutely terrifying.
Yeah, this lead would feel a lot better if we didn't still have 7 games left with Minnesota

The last time Ryan Perry had a scoreless outing (and by that, I mean he didn't let any runs score, be they his or someone else's) was on August 26 in Anaheim...
And even that was a bit of an adventure.

I really have no beef with the Yankees OR Derek Jeter
I’m a little tired of all the coverage, but that’s about it.

I agree 100% about the coverage
actually, I’ve had a few of their players on fantasy teams this season so I’ve found myself rooting for them a lot more than I’d like, but yeah, I really don’t have much beef with them as much as I probably used to/should haha

Damaso Marte and Edwar Ramirez didn't have it,apparently
Though I don’t know why Pettitte only went five innings. His pitch count wasn’t that high.

I've never had a problem with Derek
The coverage, as mentioned before, and the Yankees constantly huge payroll are the biggest reasons people hate the Yankees. Jeter started his career with New York so he doesn’t really represent the reason most people despise the franchise. Guys who go just because they know they’ll get a fatter paycheck than anywhere else is what’s annoying.
In case you're interested:
Here’s tomorrow’s pertinent pitching matchups:
A’s vs. Twins: Brett Anderson against Jeff Manship (Anderson’s got a losing record and his ERA is a bit on the high side, but he’s got a really good fastball; I don’t know anything about Manship other that he’s got a funny name)
White Sox vs. Angels: Jon Danks against Ervin Santana (Um, yeah, on paper this one HEAVILY favors the Sox, right?).

just have to hope the angels bring their bats and the white sox have the usual defense fail
because yeah, santana.. bleh
The White Sox are weird
Their pitching is usually very good, but their defense sucks. Usually those two don’t really go hand in hand.

And by the way...
I still think the red hats look stupid.

Like I said...
They used to keep the regular hats, but they’d attach a small American flag patch on the side. That looked a lot better.

Wow
The Dodgers are leading the Giants 9-1 in the eighth (Hiroki Kuroda is twirling a gem). I swear, Bruce Bochy just replaced all nine guys on the field to start the eighth inning. I’ve never seen that before. Usually in blowouts you take your regulars out gradually, not all in one fail swoop. By the way, the name “Buster Posey” makes him sound like someone who should have played in the 1920s.
