Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Game 153 Overflow Thread

Eddie Bonine couldn't have been much better for the Tigers, with one out left in the sixth inning.  He didn't allow a hit until hanging a change-up to Gordon Beckham for a two-run homer. 

But with Detroit's lineup not being able to do much against Jake Peavy, it felt like the Tigers were walking a tightrope.  Can they do something against the White Sox bullpen?

White Sox 2, Tigers 0 going to the bottom of the seventh inning.

If the offense were even slightly more productive, the pitching would have had a little bit of margin for error so when they slipped, it wouldn’t have been as serious. Every slip has been magnified.

The Royals have actually out-hit the Twins

Though somewhere the Twins did get six more hits. For a while it was six runs on two hits. I’m surprised the Twins have walked as many times as they have. They’re a “put the ball in play” kind of team. They don’t strike out much, but they also don’t seem to walk that much either.

no, it's nothing like that

It’s one thing to point out a bad play or even a bad streak/ season.
But most of us assume that the team is doing their best (even if their best isn’t good enough). we can question judgment or execution of a play
but you seem to be questioning their character and it’s out not what this thread is about and I think that’s what people are reacting to.
I’m pretty sure that the 30+ guys that are wearing the D have a good understanding of what they need to do right now. I’m pretty sure that I don’t so I just have to watch.
either way, it’s no big deal to me. enjoy the games, that’s what it’s all about

And if anyone is gonna get on my case for not having hope, what exactly is your rationale? I believed after Maggs’ shot in the ALCs, and heading into 2008; it didn’t work out so well. So I’m gonna have my doubts ‘til the Twins are mathematically eliminated, and I’m justified.

I’m too radical, but I’m not alone. I’ve got no beef with anybody on here, we’re all fans of the same team. Someone we all just don’t take the time to hear each other out.

Just yell those thoughts at your TV like the rest of us

lord knows what my neighbors must think when someone grounds into a double play.

Only time I yelled tonight was after Dye’s catch. I’m sure the neighbors heard though, lol.

I am as nervous as you are, dude

I just try to see the good things out of each game, even if it’s a loss, because it keeps me from getting too down on it and taking the baseball crankiness outside of the baseball forum. I have friends that voice their hate for the game most of the season because it affects my mood (which can already be up and down as it is!). I see every time when maggs hits a single or grounds into a DP instead of hitting it over the fence, I see all the inge K’s (god love him, he’s my tiger), I see the wild pitches by ryan perry even though I think he’s hot as hell (ha).. it’s just easier on most of us to at least attempt to be positive when possible.

Can't fault you for that approach.

I’ve just seen the team screw up too many times to be like that myself. I’ll always be expecting the worst.

I came back just to inform you all

I just burped and hiccuped at the same time whilst lying down, and felt like I was gonna die for a second.

I figured it was similar to what the Tigers felt this evening.

There should be a word like that.

Since vurp has a word, that needs one too.

To those who are expecting them to rock Garcia tomorrow...

He’s gone at least 6 innings each of his last 6 starts, allowing no more than 3 runs in each of them.

I wasn't expecting them to rock Garcia

All I said was that Nate’s gonna have to find a way to outpitch him.

So let me get this straight....today...

my car was stolen. The Tigers lost. The Royals morphed back into the Royals. The Twins will not lose.

Tomorrow has to be better. Hopefully all on those fronts.

that sucks (obviously)

you’re right, tomorrow has to be better than that

You know, we used to get some math from someone (can't remember who)...

…after every game saying what the Twins would have to do if we play .500 the rest of the way. What happened to that?

If they never lose, it won't matter.

One more thing from this hideous day. My friend basically had to restrain me when a jackass in front of me refuted my criticism of Hawk by saying “He’s the greatest announcer ever. How could you possibly hate him?” Seriously, thought about jumping directly over the chair.

Just saw the score...

FML. That’s all I have… FML.
