Game 137 Overflow Thread

PrintIt looked like the Tigers would escape the seventh inning with their lead intact after Ryan Raburn gunned down Yuniesky Betancourt at home plate. But Bobby Seay and Ryan Perry weren't able to hold the Royals off, and now we'll have to see if this team has yet another comeback in them.
Oh, and when Clete Thomas didn't catch that foul ball in the right-field corner, you knew that was going to lead to something bad, right?
Royals 6, Tigers 5 going into the eighth inning.

Is it just me
or is that Little Caesars commercial with the Wanda Sykes sound-alike on WXYT just about the most annoying thing ever constructed by humankind?
I'm glad someone else hates it just as much as I do
There’s something vaguely insulting about it. They’re trying to go with the stereotyped “sassy black woman” routine and they fail miserably.

And none of you jerks can make me stop loving him. He only pitches badly because he loves me so much.

I just wish he could find his form again, and so far, it ain’t working.

I'm guessing Nate was going to have a bullpen session anyway.
They’re just doing it in the game now.
This is not a calming experience.
I wanted a less stressful game because playoffs make me queasy and I’m going to the Loons game tomorrow night and I’m waiting for the luck to run out of my lucky shirt like the sand in an hourglass and this is not helping at all. :(

I tell you...
this game, Rodney’s suspension, whatever the hell is going on in the rotation, and all the annoying calls have fit perfectly with what felt completely like a horrible Monday, even though it was a Tuesday.
Save us tomorrow, JV.

I did not like it when they started doing that last year
I usually put the TV on mute and listen to the radio postgame for a few minutes. The only one of the “opposing player” interviews I enjoyed was when they interviewed Pudge after the Astros beat the Tigers during Interleague play.
