Game 121 Overflow #2 - Twins at Tigers

Email
PrintBest caption for this picture wins a game-worn Will Rhymes jersey from his latest stint in the majors.
What happened so far:
- Utter chaos
- More specifically, Delmon Young started his Tigers career off with a home run in the bottom of the 1st inning.
- The Twins put up 3 runs in the 3rd inning, 3 runs in the 6th inning and 3 more in the 7th. Jim Thome hit his 599th career home run off of Rick Porcello and his 600th off of Daniel Schlereth in the 7th.
- The Tigers scored 2 more runs in the bottom of the 6th to pull within one (at the time). Alex Avila is 3-for-3 and is just a home run away from the cycle.
- Porcello's line: 6 IP, 9 H, 6 R (4 earned), 2 K, 1 BB.
- Ryan Raburn and Wilson Betemit have been a collective comedy of errors defensively. Young, on the other hand, has been pretty good.
Topics from the previous thread:
- Rob's bookshelf (which is already 2/3 full with textbooks, sadly)
- Jim Thome, and how he's apparently a pretty classy guy
- How Central Michigan is screwing over its students (I see you, Ryan)
- Bad fantasy baseball decisions
- Arby's expansion into uncharted wilderness (a.k.a. Marquette)
- Brian Wilson, for some reason
- The idiots at the CoPa doing the wave (to their credit, the standing ovation for Thome was pure class)

I just hired
A contractor who shoots, edits and converts video to create Web site/Youtube-ready shorts for a client that needs to document progress on a construction project for its various constituencies. The contractor will make more than $2K for a couple of days’ work. That’s the kind of thing that is growing, while TV stations are contracting. Being able to write, direct, edit, shoot, produce, etc. that kind of thing is a valuable skillset.
Plus, everybody I know in TV has moved across the country to find a new job like eleventy-gajillion times.
That's why I don't think I'll end up in TV.

the bats never show up when the pitching/defense sucks and whenever the pitching is good the bats are asleep. Detroit is the most frustrating team to watch.

Now I have confusion
Why use Coke now if you didn’t use him in a one run game?
You know I'm right about this.
Because Coke is the 7th inning lefty
And sSchlerethe is long inning lefty
Not sure where Below fits in
Below is the long reliever
like when a starter gets shelled and has to come out early. aka mop up man.
Schlereth is just the AAAA reliever du jour, along with Perry and Purcey.
Coke is a set up man for the 7th and a random LOOGY.
Al AL is a set up man and a random ROOGY (that’s Japanese for LOOGY)
Benoit is the 8th inning set up man
Valverde is the closer
And most importantly, no matter how high the leverage situation, the above can not be altered.
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
To burn up our best lefty against the LH heavy Twins of course

I hope July Rick comes back some day.
August Rick isn’t as fun.

Isn't that the opposite of yesterday?

Pretty much.
Although Baltimore did most of the job in that one.

I didn't see yesterday's game
People talked about the pinch-running for V-Mart, and complained about the defense, but no one really talked about how Fister looked

Me either.
I was sleeping. I just saw all the walking in during the ninth.

I haven't seen much of Fister since he came over
I saw his first start and that’s it. I missed the rain-shortened start cuz I was at a Mud Hens game and I was working on Sunday

Bummrrrrrrrrr
Gotta work on that defense, Mr. Leyland. The key is how you make out the lineup card.
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
Better not watch sports TV for a couple days
Including tomorrow’s Tiger game. I predict 4 times tomorrow
You know I'm right about this.
meh
Verlander pitches tomorrow and the White Sox and Cleveland can beat the crap out of each other

eh, the ending sucked
interesting game for a while, though, and a little history to boot
Hate losing to the Twins, though….
Eat 'em up, Tigers!
I do not like Twins or Golden Gophers

Just for fun...
When will Miggy hit #600 and against which team (and which ballpark)?

September 7, 2019
at home against the Indians
and by at home i mean Comerica
he will NEVER be a yankee or red sock
Never.
He won’t last 20 years and hits line drives that often go for doubles instead of home runs which will limit his annual totals.
If we say he will then I predict he will in 2020 as a Yankee in Yankee stadium.
You know I'm right about this.
Didnt really see Betimit making to many errors..
and i watch them every day. Raburn on the other hand….
