Game 90 Overflow: Tigers at Royals

Here's what's happened so far for those tuning in late.

  • Maggs hit a 2-run homer in the first to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
  • Dirks had an RBI groundout in the 2nd, but the Tigers only scored 1 run despite having the bases loaded with no outs.
  • V-Mart and Peralta both had RBIs  in the 3rd inning.
  • Rick Porcello has been nickeled and dimed all night to the tune of 3 runs through 5 innings.
  • Chris Getz was tossed at the end of the 5th inning after grounding out.
  • Ryan Raburn fouled a ball off of his face.

Star-divide

Topics from the last thread:

 

  • Brayan Villareal's now-absent hair
  • Alcoholic beverages (naturally)
  • Trout, and how they relate to baseball and the well-being of BYB
  • Setting M-Live on fire
  • Brennan Boesch's dating habits

Do people like the quick synopsis in the post?

Or is it essentially worthless and I should just post random links like in the past?

it depends

sometimes people ignore anything you write up there, sometimes they actually notice

I’ve been here since the second inning. If I had just come after the overflow, I’d appreciate the summary.

Not to be a critic

But I like a quick 1 sentence zinger which is applicable to the game.

I know sometimes they'll post the things we talked about in the old thread, which usually amuses me

So basically: Dreams about Ryan Raburn, Brayan Villarreal’s hair, scotch, Pepto Bismol, Porcello getting nickled and dimed, Mike Trout, and Brad Thomas

Spuds Moynihan drew his breath in. As the sounds of jazz emanated out of the bar, he realized that he had always felt out of place when he listened to such compositions. Taking the A train simply wasn’t his style; he’d always preferred Handel’s Messiah to Monk’s Misterioso. But he always feigned interest in the newest recordings; his tüber-love Erin Solanum was a devotee of the genre, and often hung out at the bar. In order to convince her of his sempiternal devotion to her, he was always reading the newspaper for some impressive sesquipedalian jazz term to strike her with. He resigned himself to entering the bar in the hopes that Erin would be there.

I see the word Trout a lot.

Trout is confused.

He hurt himself in the confusion.

Terrence J. is feeling a bit fishy...

You know

I hadn’t even noticed that the Royals have gotten down the the worst AL record.

Still happy with the win.

For reference:

Tigers record through 90 games in 2011: 48-42
Tigers record through 90 games in 2010: 48-42
Tigers record through 90 games in 2009: 48-42
