Tigers Lose: Game 137 Thread of Shame

PrintWait a minute: No late-inning comeback? I guess it's different when the Tigers don't face the Rays bullpen.
Clete Thomas not catching that foul ball in the right-field corner in the seventh ended up costing Detroit. You just knew Billy Butler wasn't going to blow another chance there.
So would you be more mad about this loss, if the weekend sweep at Tampa hadn't taken place? Or maybe you're mad, anyway. You never want to see a win get away like that.
Tigers lose to the Royals, 7-5. Full recap tomorrow. There will now be wallowing.

so can we ban the major league quotes?
I blame them and my new shirt for this. as well as the obvious shitty baseball that went on tonight.
Is that what that was?

if not for the six game winning streak
I’d be really, really ticked. As it is, I’m just disappointed.

it's hard but I keep trying to remember we *probably*
won’t win every single game from now til october. it’d be awesome, but the boys can’t be perfect all the time no matter how much of a high they’re on.
that's what I keep telling myself
And hey, if they alternate a six-game winning streak with a single loss, I’m not complaining one bit!

goodnight, folks.
I’ll be watching live playoff baseball tomorrow night (and probably trying hard to not puke from the stress).
Playoffs are so freaking hard on the nerves!

Why do they always cut off the video when a reporter is in mid-question?
When you hear the question, you want to hear its answer.

Meh
I’m the only member of the “Electoral College Fanclub”. We just need to choose better candidates.
I’ll try to stay away from the politics though- guarantee I’ll get banned if we get into that discussion.

Yeah
I decided a long time ago not to mix politics and baseball. I’d probably end up hating half the guys on the team if I delved into their political beliefs, and that’s rather pointless. I do have very strong political opinions, but I discuss them elsewhere.

bah
I figure all politicians, every country, every party, are nothing more than worthless parasites who scheme to take money from corporations for their own and the corporations’ enrichment at the cost of screwing over as many regular (and comparatively powerless) people because they don’t have the money to pay the list price of the politicians, and I wish that all of them could be collected in a pile and fired into the ocean off the coast of South Africa from a cannon (because the ocean there has a lot of dangerous sharks). :(

Somehow, I have to study for a Pharmacology exam that's on Thursday...
…Finish (meaning “start”) Kinetics homework that’s due Friday, and go to work tomorrow night. And, oh yeah, there’s a big distraction that goes by the name of Justin Verlander tomorrow.
Not sure how I’m gonna do it.

I think the Marlins did that last year
They went the entire month of August without winning two games in a row, and yet somehow they remained in Wild Card contention until mid-September.

I should go to bed as well...
2pm is an early shift for me. Beats the 4am shifts at my last job though.

extract the "til" and I have a pretty good sentence going on there...

when I started work at 4 a.m.
I was running on a thermos of coffee until about 9:30 and then rubbing my head on the keyboard for 3 hours trying to figure out my name.

I didn't start drinking coffee until I started getting up at 2:45am...
and than I got to perform the monotony of 3rd party inspection on car parts for minimum wage. And they wondered why a bad part got through sometimes.

I'm not a fan of coffee (though I love the smell)
If I absolutely MUST have the caffeine, I stop by Starbucks and get a Cinnamon Dolce latte because it covers up most of the coffee taste. Usually I stick to energy drinks, though.
And by the way, Five Hour Energy tastes nasty.

if I drink a full cup of coffee, I'll stay up for a full 24 hours
no jokes. hyper sensitive to caffeine. it’s not fun.
Funny enough...
Coffee and energy drinks are the only forms of caffeine that do anything to me. I could drink an entire 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew and it’ll have no effect. Then again, I have ADHD, so stimulants affect me a bit differently anyways.

I can drink a cup of coffee at 1130 p.m. and sleep at 1 a.m. still
and yet it wakes me up. weird stuff.

Huh
MLB.tv is now showing Pampers commercials? Odd. And yet, it is still better than the Ace commercial with the HORRID sound quality that they were showing last week.
Well, I got Vin Scully up and running and now I’m off to bed (6 AM wakeup time)

At least the Twinkies and the White Sox lost
Magic number 19?
Or is it too early?
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I'd say too early
I’ll watch that number dwindle down, but I’m not gonna get excited until it’s in the single digits. The Tigers have too many games left with the Twins to assume we’re on cruise control.

I love the Tigers and I think they will hold on to win the division. But the playoffs will be very, very difficult because of their inability to hit.
