PrintThe Tigers are leading the Twins as the game enters the seventh inning stretch.
Can Detroit break its losing streak with a much-needed win, or will there be much gnashing of teeth for the next 20 hours?

The pitching has carried them as far as it could and the staff is fraying from the strain. If they don’t hit, they won’t make the playoffs.

JV is the one who gave up the hit, various people were left on base. I just meant for that defining moment of the game, I still love him. heh.
talk to you guys later
Rather be us than them
We still have a 2 game lead… slim though it may be, it’s a lead.
Go Nate tomorrow!

and if they can just salvage their bats for one stupid game
They will have a lead back up to 3 games.
It would be so Tigers to win one of three games – and the least likely one going in to the series.

Maybe
It’s the overpaid, underperforming bat in RF (Ordonez), the black hole in LF, the absence of bats at C and SS (Laird, Everett respectively), the sudden resurgence of a bat at 2B (Polanco) and a designated hitter who can’t hit (Huff).
Just sayin.

He’s been incredibly defensively and that’s huge. We should be able to make up for what he lacks in offense.

I believe the point was
you can’t blame McClendon for Laird not having a bat when you’re not playing him for his bat, you’re playing him for his glove. Ditto the shortstop. And really, ditto the second baseman.

That's fair
Really, it’s nothing against Laird, Everett and Polanco. But if it’s the case, we can’t really complain when we don’t have any offense.

When Lloyd is able to go out to the box and hit one down the line and score runs (but doesn't)
then (and only then) can he be fired. Until then it’s on the guys getting $$$$$$ to hit the little ball with the big stick

So I watched the whole game, just didn't get on the thread because I kept having to do random shit
but I was laying down in the 8th inning, starting to fall asleep (football Saturdays are always so tiring…but at least I got to see one good sports game today) when all hell broke loose. I think this is the first time I feel legitimately, seriously worried about us.

Awful.
Watched the last three innings from an east lansing bar, and I’m pretty sure I was the only one there watching that TV. People also seemed confused when I started cursing at the TV between downs. Screw the Twins.
What in the world is going on in the KC-White Sox game?
David DeJesus leaves the game in the middle of the second inning, John Buck replaced Miguel Olivo behind the plate in the third, and now Dusty Hughes has been replaced by Yabuta in the bottom of the fifth. I only have Gameday up. What’s the deal?
