Game 158 Overflow Thread #2

Magglio!  Delgado!  Ordonez!  

A three-run double for Maggs!  Seven runs against Carl Pavano!  Who are these guys?

And is there any more beautiful sight than a ball hit into the gap with nothing but green around it?

Tigers 7, Twins 2 heading to the sixth inning!

I was just thinking today.

There have been maybe two moves he’s made this year that I’ve cringed at, but otherwise he’s been a great manager for this team. If for nothing else, the way he worked with Magglio earlier in the year. Played it just right.

ATTENTION TO THE NEW PEOPLES

We’re planning on going to a game together next summer at Comerica – I think the leading candidate right now is Saturday, July 3rd. A group I know from a hockey blog did the same thing this past season – we got together for a game on Friday night and then walked to Greektown for dinner afterwards, and it was a blast.

The more the merrier, so keep it in mind!

Would love to go, but the 1500 mile commute is a rough one

by ChrisDTX on Sep 30, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's why we were thinking a Saturday evening

Possible to get in Saturday, maybe with frequent flyer miles even, crash one night in a hotel room, and back home on Sunday so no one has to miss work.

Trying to accomodate as many people as possible.

I know why it could be considered awkward

but since they were celebrating by pouring alcohol all over themselves, it made sense to include him as a member of the team

I totally teared when he died,

and I didn’t know anything about him other than that he was a young baseballer.

Yes, but so far it's been one muff per game.

He’s filled his quota for today, so he should be fine until tomorrow.

At least I’m hoping.
