Game 136 Overflow Thread
Maybe we're being a bit optimistic by posting an overflow thread, but with two more innings to go, and the Tigers down by just two runs, they're still in this. And if it happens, the original GameThread might get a little bloated.
Can the Tigers do it again to that Rays bullpen?
Rays 3, Tigers 1 heading to the eighth inning.

I like this
pre-emptive overflow thread, on the thought that the Tigers may come back and stretch this sucker out!

best known as one of the other guys thrown in for the Cabrera/Willis trade
Didn’t he hit a bomb on the last day of the 07 season, and then got traded?

Twins game goes final
3-1 Cleveland. Twins go back another half-game, pending our result.
seriously
Last night the Loons were tied 2-2 until I got in line for ice cream – as soon as I got my hot fudge brownie sunday, they started scoring. I actually said “rally ice cream!” out loud. :)

Post-game thread at 4:30 p.m.
Hopefully, there will be afterglow.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon, people. Thanks for stopping by!
Full recap later tonight. (Not tomorrow at noon.)
I probably should’ve said I’m leaving there.
That kind of sounds like I was turning out the lights. No, sir.

That's good for us, but if Boston wins, that means the Rangers have to win to keep pace

who are the Rangers playing?
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Baltimore
Unfortunately, the O’s are up 6-0. Derek Holland had a bad start, and the Rangers are being stymied by Jeremy Guthrie

haha
the rays channel had an interview with a family. There was a great grandfather, grandfather, father, and son. They asked the great grandfather how he lived so long, and he said irish whiskey
Leyland leaving him in?
Slightly surprised.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
they can move pretty fast when they want to
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
don't think so
He just had to dance up the line to catch the throw from Inge and tag the runner out.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
very true
Sometimes the other guy just pitches better – especially if they know they have to win like crazy if they have any hope of the playoffs themselves.

I came across this stupid costume while looking for ice cream

um, that's different
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
snipers needed
Station some guys with tranquilizer darts to take out the idiots and that would reduce the problem. They should affix an ear tag, too. And maybe a radio collar.

good judgement
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I thought Ballfour was out
that looked strikingly similar
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
Well, this is interesting.
I think we all know what we’re expecting Maggs to do. But let’s hope we’re wrong.
or move to page two

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!
What is wrong with this team!? How dare them be so damn awesome!!!!
I don't have a signature.
Oh my god I love this effing team
by the way I’m going to take responsibility for this because as soon as I got back and started watching we started scoring :)
Hehe sorry, errand-running
but I came back at the perfect time!

sorry for the profanity, but I’m that’s all I’ve got right now.

Maddon thinks its working or something
He’s living in bizzaro world
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
he might be a better option than the guys he's got
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
that would be my guess
He did very well last night.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
As did every single other Tigers fan.
My screams are still echoing throughout the house.
I don't have a signature.
Are the walls and floors as nonsoundproof as they were when I was in uni?
Otherwise you might have a bit of explaining to do.
They are paper-thin
so I refrained from yelling and instead jumped up and down.

You should be alright.
Maybe some of your excitement could rub off on your neighbours, though… get them cheering for the Tigers too.
Good point
I did have a guy stick his head in my door the other day to ask who was winning when he heard “whats-his-name” talking (he meant Mario)

So much for living in Canada...
Pro: socialized medicine
Con: can’t watch the Tigers on TV unless they’re playing the Jays
I did a Michael Jordan after hitting the shot over Craig Ehlo running/jumping fist pump
when Inge hit that
all my housemates heard me
i’m in the fifth floor and the guys on the second floor asked what i was yelling about
I Like Pie
Mario and Rod are being so hilarious
“How do you like that?!”
“I LIKE IT!!!”
Rod gets COTN for everything he said that entire inning.
pretty clear what several of us were doing
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Hahahaha this made me laugh for some reason
I think this should be our go-to Lyon picture.

I almost feel sorry for the Rays ....
ALMOST!

"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I e-mailed Ian about it this morning......
Did anyone catch the 5 minute piece of Inge on SportsCenter this morning?
yup
Very sweet story.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I went to SportsCenter.com
I asked them to post it on their site…….hopefully Ian can then add a link to it.
Can Lyon hit?
two words : new shortstop
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
what a play
deserves another lion picture….an athletic lion

It's about time we won a game like this for Jackson
he was awesome again.

No doubt. I'm sure Edwin is ecstatic and
happy that Jim left him in for the 8th.

Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I am officially changing my expectations for this road trip
I will no longer be satisfied with 3-3
I can't believe I ate the whole thing!
by tigerfaninChicago on Sep 6, 2009 4:28 PM EDT reply actions
Okay, I figured it was a while ago
given how bad this team USED TO BE BUT NO LONGER IS ON THE ROAD.
by kendra.michelle on Sep 6, 2009 4:31 PM EDT up reply actions
I should head to the casino right now
and capitalize on this mojo. Holy Awesome Win and Holy Awesome Series.
7 GAME LEAD
by BarbaroGarbeyc1984 on Sep 6, 2009 4:29 PM EDT reply actions
This team is so freaking awesome.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Wherever Ian went.
If it didn’t involve hookers and Maker’s Mark, it wasn’t worth it.
And even then, I could make an argument.
This team is really coming together
I’ve thought all year they had a playoff team, but not a World Series winning team. The team I just watched can win it all. What a win!
Note to self
When watching Tampa and Detroit, do not show up until 8th inning.
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
not quite true
There is good pitching before that point.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
So tell me again
How the division was going to come down to the Twins and White Sox?
HA!
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Twin lost today....White sox losing
Add another game!!!!!
pedal is pressed firmly to the metal right now
Can you say 7 game lead? Or 14 games over .500?
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
The funny thing?
I’m not even surprised that they came back, I EXPECTED the tigers to win this, even down 3-1 going into the ninth, and it came through.
When you got it, you got it, and right now, the Tigers have got all of it.
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
celebration time!

"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Good weekend
Tigers sweep, Michigan wins. September off to a good start.
Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider!
