Game 135 Overflow Thread

PrintOnce again, the Tampa Bay bullpen has been generous, blowing a three-run lead and letting the Tigers tie the score in the seventh inning. Bobby Seay just pitched out of a jam to keep them in the game.
Tigers and Rays tied 6-6 going into the eighth. Who's lookin' like a hero?

Rod brings up an interesting point
Would you trade Marcus Thames for the rest of the month for a run right here?
I probably would.
No, because this race has a long way to go
Remember 2006, we were actually the WC winners at the end of the season.
2100 Woodward and Twitter
My only point is
I don’t really know what Marcus brings that we couldn’t get elsewhere. I’d take the run.
WHY IS EVERYBODY SHOUTING?

Who we have pitching?
Seay trot out there? He had his jacket fully on in the dugout, so I assume he was trying to stay warm yet.

This has been great!
I have an exchange student from Kosovo here…we were talking about baseball this afternoon. Wouldn’t you know MLBHD is was showing the game. I just recruited us a new Tigers fan! What a great game to introduce him to baseball with
I love introducing people to baseball.
Especially when you see the person connect the dots and start to take an interest in the game.
It really has been a great game
It was a SNOOZE early on but I bet it was great for teaching the basics.

Sounded (from the bit I caught on the radio) that each team has used about 17 pitchers.

The Rays are pretty much done.
They have almost no chance and must play desperately for a win so they will sew together the parts of not so good pitchers and trot their monstrosity out there to hurl a few innings and then get chased out of the state by the five fans in attendance with pitchforks and torches.
It's true
There’s little to no hope left for a Rays fan.

pitchforks and torches?
I always thought of Florida as a less agricultural state. Maybe barbeque skewers and tiki torches.

They grow oranges and other stuff. There's a chunk of agribusiness in Florida
But mainly they just import old people and export Cuban sandwiches.

The game...
I posted earlier about introducing an exchange student to baseball tonight. He asked early in the game how much like cricket it was…was hard not to laugh
well...
It has a ball and a bat. But it’s faster (although I guess they came up with a new version of cricket called twenty twenty where a game can be completed in a few hours instead of days).
Glad it was a good game for him to watch.

introducing a visitor from foreign lands to American sports?
I’m glad he enjoyed the game. :)
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
He got to watch the Wolverines throttle the Broncos today too
Really wore out my DVR explaining football to him though. Glad baseball is so slow paced usually
football is really hard to explain
Baseball I think is easier because you can explain stuff in the pauses.

Avila has really been a shot in the arm.
Calling him up seems to have been the right decision for this moment in time.
Remember how everyone thought that it smacked of desperation?
by explosivo2k2 on Sep 5, 2009 10:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Even if he goes 0 for the rest of September,
it would still be hard to argue it wasn’t worth it.
by StringTheory on Sep 5, 2009 10:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Avila did what the brass hoped he would
He gave them more offense. That, along with the resurrection of the bats of Magglio and Polanco and Guillen have lead to some very good things.
hee hee hee hee
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Exactly.
Imagine how frustrated they and the fans must be after seeing us down 3 in the second.
