I bet JV is ballin' Kate Upton.

I think we all would like to be ballin her, maybe even play carnival too.

You see the pecs on her? She's country strong.

AJ has a 13 game hitting streak.

Not wishing ill on anyone, but if one of the "All Star" outfielders got knee capped over the weekend it should put a very deserving AJ in the game. He deserves it! Unless there's still another Ranger not on the team...

He does deserve it. Hopefully this is one of those situations where the "snub" fuels him the rest of the year.

Have you said he's horrible since he's been back?

Am I required to?

Lots of players on this team are horrible, I don't feel I have to name them all.

I pick on Young because, A) he's an asshole and I don't like him. and, B) he's killing us in the 5 hole.

So here: Raburn has been bad since coming back up, .250 BA, 6 doubles, and 3 RBI, 3 BB and 9 K's.

There, case closed.

What a play Ramon! Good thing DY got yanked. 2 plays made because of that move.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Yep, she can definitely bench a lot too.

 

[manchild98]

We are finally a .500 baseball team again...sad we have to say that.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Nice clean 9th for the Potato.

Damn, did we just win a game against a team we were expected to beat?

I'm scared now.

Well NOW I can't use "ever since".

Tigers win 4 - 2,
Valverde closes it out for save 16,
Smyly with the win,
Most important is the Tigers are finally back to .500

 

[johnny2x2x]

Back to .500!!!

 

[tigermud]

.500! holy smokes we got back to .500!

 

[jas5lf]

From the ESPN Tigers home page:

The Tigers have not been at .500 since they were 18-18 on May 15. Since then (entering Friday), the team has had 8 chances to get back to .500 and lost all 8 games. A win tonight evens the Tigers record at 42-42.

10 strikeouts, 0 walks never done by a Tigers rookie before.

Says Dickerson.

 

[manchild98]

Well it should still be "Africa hot" for tomorrow's 4 pm game. Chen vs Fister.

 

[kalinecountry]

third 3-game win streak for the Tigers since the 9-3 start (May 25-27, June 16, 17, 19).
a 10 game win streak would look better.

 

[kalinecountry]

10 strikeouts, 0 walks never done by a Tigers rookie before.

Says Dickerson.

Drew Smyly had 10 K and 0 BB in Tigers win; from Elias Sports, only other Tiger rookie with 10+ K and 0 BB in a game was Eric Erickson in 1918.
