The BYB office staff made a late decision to attend tonight's ballgame (For Ernie!), so we'll have a full recap later tonight or early tomorrow. Until then, you can share your post-game thoughts right here.
Eddie Bonine allowed three runs in five innings, and the bullpen was near perfect for the final four as the Tigers picked up a 4-3 win against the pesky Royals, their first in five tries. The magic number is now 13.
What did you think of the ceremony with Ernie Harwell during the third inning? Were you able to see his speech? What are your feelings on that?
We'll have more for you later. Thanks for spending your evening with BYB.

It's pre-season...
No need to boo…
Lions were 4-0 last year in their pre-season… Look how that turned out.
deadwings suck
Go Canes!

The Rangers are getting shut out AGAIN?
Isn’t this, like, the fourth game in a row?
Does NOT want Boston to get that Wild Card***

No matter what happens,
we can’t be swept into a tie of first place in the dome.

Hoping I can be honest here without getting slammed.
I was kinda looking for a moment in Ernie’s speech that would have a similar effect as Lou Gehrig’s speech. I didn’t see one, which was kinda dissapointing. Although no phrases in here will be remembered by me for a long time, it still was incredibly sad.
I don't have a signature.
You could tell he had what he wanted to say mostly memorized,
but he got nervous or overwhelmed and lost his train of thought. Maybe it was in there and he forgot it.

I thought it was heartfelt at least.
Him pumping his arms coming to the mic was the best part for me, I think.
I don't have a signature.
Definitely seemed like that.
He’s not used to being in the middle of the field while talking to thousands of people.

He's never been one for overly emotional speeches.
He’s humble. I think if he had tried to reach deeper into what he was feeling, he (and all of us) would have lost it and gotten maudlin, and I don’t think that’s how he wanted to be remembered. He just wanted to say thank you, and he wanted to do it his way.
If I’m ever in that situation, I hope I have as much grace and class.
Eh, I like emotional speeches.
Wanted to cry, haha. Don’t really know his speech style, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. What we got was great though…
I don't have a signature.

When asked about the bullpen tonight
it looked like Leyland was trying to hold in a doodie.

I hate that too
If they cut the video BEFORE the next question was asked, it wouldn’t be so bad. But once I hear the question, I want to hear the answer.

4.5 games never sounded so good
Now the best the Twinkies can do is close it to 1
Unless the Tigers think, hey, beating KC felt good, let’s do it again tomorrow!
And then start thinking, dude, winning is fun, let’s sweep the Twinkies, and then the lead will be 8 games, and we’re all be going half mad with joy.
Or is that just crazy talk?

That doesn’t seem fair. She must be loaded.

Are the Rangers collapsing or are the A's just playing well right now?
After all, they just took two of three from Minnesota.
By the way, be glad you guys don’t have to watch the stupid “Cash Code” commercial all the time.

Rangers lose again
They’ve just been one-hit for the THIRD time this year, this time in a game started by Trevor Cahill. The other two times they’ve been one-hit this year? The starting pitchers were Chad Gaudin and Dontrelle Wilis.

Believe it or not, he actually one-hit the Rangers this year
His lone shining moment.

FWIW
The Mariners are up 2-0 and One Year Wonder Quentin just GIDP. I’d make a DP joke, but I’m too tired.
Big win tonight
now I have to go try and study :( g’night everybody!

Here's a fun stat from Jason Beck's Twitter
Miguel Cabrera now has six stolen bases, which is good enough for fourth on the team.

video of the speech

What a great guy. People were saying that it wasn’t like Lou Gherig’s. IMO that is because Lou was given gifts by everyone. Ernie wouldn’t even take the extra few seconds to walk slowly back into the stadium. I’ve never met him, but I know that he’s probably one of the most generous people in the world. Even tonight all he did was give out thanks, rather than letting us thank him.
Watching a bit of the Seattle-Chicago game before going to bed...
Ryan Rowland-Smith makes a weird hissing noise when he delivers the ball.
(And I’m getting a little tired of the Geico cavemen/gecko expose commercials).

Gavin Floyd is out after three innings
Sore left hip. DJ Carrasco is in and just gave up a solo home run to Mike Carp.
4-0 Mariners.

I'm watching the Boston game.
The umpires just gave them a tie in the ninth. Two missed calls end up in a bases loaded walk.
The Rangers are struggling at the wrong time
Apparently, the Red Sox have decided that they’re never going to lose again ever. The death knell is just about to sound for Texas. Unfortunately.

Well, I'm off to bed
I’ll leave the White Sox-M’s game up in the background. Great win tonight. If Bonine can give the same performance the rest of the way, it would be a big boost.
OT, I got my car back today!!!

ernie is the greatest of all tigers.
Period. Back to the game, we should all remember what lyon did tonight. One of the great performances this year.

cram it hawk
4-1 final. 7 back in the loss column.
by rook34 on Sep 17, 2009 12:24 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Ernie is great. That must have been hard
Tigers… We don’t have what it takes to make the playoffs. Twins do. Sorry to say but Twins are going to sweep us unless we gain some sense of urgency to win these KC type games.
Unless we get serious, were not going to the post season.
