Tigers Win! Game 150 Afterglow

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in Detroit Tigers News

Bobby Seay and Brandon Lyon (or "Seay-Lyon," as we like to call them) made the eighth inning far more interesting than Tigers fans would've preferred, giving up a couple of singles and a couple of walks.  And we saw the return of the bases-loaded walk, which was one of the most frustrating aspects of the Tigers' pitching staff in mid-season. 

But the Indians couldn't get the big hit when it counted, and Detroit takes the first game of a series they really need to win (if not sweep). 

Did Edwin Jackson get all better in this start?  That might have been the roughest seven shutout innings any pitcher has thrown in a while.  But no runs... is no runs.  And I ask again: Should Ryan Raburn be the full-time left fielder from here on out?

Full recap later on.  But for now, enjoy the afterglow.  And I'm sure this will be sort of a Twins-White Sox thread, as well.

You're all excused from feeling dirty about the ChiSox

You’re all allowed to root for them. Don’t feel dirty. All of our hate must be focused toward the Twins.

The Twins have hit a ridiculous number of home runs in this game

WTF, Chicago? I hope you suck just as much against us.

mccarthy has long pants on.

(ranger game)

I dont think switching FROM socks up to long pants changes luck, but whatever he feels he needs to do I guess

Wouldn't be the first time

I haven’t watched him on a consistent basis, but he seems to go back and forth in terms of pant length. I’ve seen him wear both styles.

I know the one or two times the Tigers have seen him this year they've been long

Hey, Pudge is in this game (hopefully with long pants). And I see Adam Kennedy got ejected in the first inning.

Hawk openly admitting he can't remember people's names...

but continues to tell the story anyway. The guy just sucks.

After Denard Span got hit last night...

He actually said “I got hit in the head three times, and it never hurt.” Maybe it never hurt, but it sure might explain a lot.

Quentin is a shell of last year.

Hope he stays that way when we get to town.

by rook34 on Sep 22, 2009 10:31 PM EDT reply actions  

No no, I'm with you.

If Quentin can’t make something out of that garbage pitching, he’s DEFINITELY off.

Quentin is .247/.323/.418 since August. YEEESH. Struck out 24 times in 146 ABs.

Oh god.

Quentin is .231 on the year. He’s actually north of his average 16 points.

As I live in their city...I'll summarize.

They are built entirely to hit home runs and they went on a power outage for most of July and August. Their bullpen, so good last year, went kaput. And their defense is worse than ours was last season. If not for their starting pitching they ’d be down there with the Indians.

Kenny Williams

Same thing that happens every year. Williams seems to make his season decisions based on when the non-waiver trade deadline hits, not when the season actually ends. He decided they weren’t going to catch the Twins or the Tigers (at the time the Tigers were around 5-7 games up on the Twins, ChiSox within a game of the Twins) so he sold off the core of the team. Thome was a big part of that team since it’s been based around power, but losing Contreras wasn’t a huge loss to ChiSox fans as he became a shadow of his former self.

Meh.

9 hitter, not like Alex Rios has done anything since he arrived in Chicago.

Posednik absolutely has to reach here.

Three in the loss column. 12 to go.

Hopefully Buerhle gets his head right and pitches a winner tomorrow.

by rook34 on Sep 22, 2009 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

He is due for a bad performance.

The Sox have a ton of right handed power and it’s at the Launching Pad. Sox have to be favored tomorrow, if only slightly. Buehrle should be hell on Mauer and Kubel.

That all sounds good, but baseball makes no sense.

Stay hot, KC

Royals beat Red Sox 5-1. Greinke went six shutout innings and threw 91 pitches. Hopefully they just decided to give him a break and that the low pitch count doesn’t mean he’s injured or something. He would be slated to start Sunday against the Twins.

Even though they're mathematically eliminated

I’m not convinced KC is completely out if it, they will somehow find a way to grow their magic number.

I'm off to bed

See you guys tomorrow night after I get home from work (or maybe during the morning/afternoon, as I’m bound to stop by the game recap thread).
