Game 158 Overflow Thread
Ladies and gentleman of Tiger Town, this is the most runs your beloved baseball team has scored against Carl "Cy" Pavano this season. In five previous starts against Detroit, he's never allowed more than two runs.
How do you like them apples? Or the steaks Brandon Inge and Ramon Santiago drove in?

I checked the score ten minutes ago...
…and it was 2-0 Twins, and I was all, “Shit, son.”
Then I check it again and it was 4-2 Tigers, and I was all, “Hell yes, guy!”
Hi! Woo! Hello there! I’m incoherent.
We'll have to check with the guys in the truck for that one.

Wonder if he had it exorcised first....or at least steam cleaned...
Though probably nothing could get that stink out of it..
WOO!
Just got a chance to sit down and turn the game on and I have to say I was cringing when I was punching in the numbers on the remote. Stupid ESPN isn’t showing it so I have to watch on Fox Sports North.

Rogers Sportsnet here pipes-in the MLB International feed for the playoffs, instead of the Fox feed (I don’t know why — maybe they cost less or something — but it’s weird to see game-times in GMT). Fox’s graphics and “special features” and everything are so goddamn schmaltzy and sickeningly-sweet, it’s a relief to see a broadcast which cuts down on the glitz and focuses on the game for a change.
