Well....@ least he's made it to the 4th before the wheels started to come off.

Finally get someone up in the BP after the bases got cleared.

Shut up, Rod.

This game blows.

I heard the last out in the 3rd and it was 1-1. I get to my desk and it's 7-1 in the 4th. That didn't take long.

 

[turok]

The fondest (and other than the A's) only good memories that I have of the Tigers' contending decade in the postseason was humiliating the yankees 3x and especially their spoiled and entitled fanbase. Had they done likewise to the red sox in the '13 ALCS, then that might have made no WS championships somewhat easier to accept.

Miggy has beefed about two called thrids last two days and in both cases, I thought the pitch was, in fact, a strike. hit the paint both times, Swing Miggy.

 

[turok]

Miggy has accumulated quite a bit of rust during the month of May. He hasn't hit many flyballs deep into the OF when he does get wood on a ball.

Rod has blurted out nothing but redundancies during this game...like the Yankees and Tigers being "storied" ballclubs who have been "around a long time"...yeah well...duhh?

maybe he's holding back his really insightful comments for the night game

 

[turok]

Rod wistfully reminisced about his being drafted in '77 by the white sox...unfortunately back then signing bonuses and getting cups of coffee in MLB were much more commensurate to what joe lunchpail was paid for working on the assembly line or a plastic injection molding factory.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Gotta get me one of them goose rally hats...

 

[turok]

Victor could snug it up to within-with one swing of the bat...ohh big rip.

 

[turok]

Oh well, a few innings too late and 3 runs short...am a bit surprised that the BP kept the yanks off the scoreboard for 5 innings after the VerHagen meltdown.

Funny how with an adblocker and anti-tracking software, if I inadvertently click on a blank area with my cursor, the hidden advertising that is spread out over the DSF page then tries to redirect my browser to a malicious website which is also blocked.

Hopefully the Tigers can somehow manage a split of this makeup DH in the nightcap game to this series, and avoid being swept...since the yankees now have a 2-0 series win (counting the lone game that they won back in April). Then the Tigers won't fall back to their usual and customary 5 games below .500 after having yet again clawed and of late, goose-rallied to within a two games' spitting distance of achieving the pinnacle of mediocrity.

Tomorrow they begin play @ red sox in a 3 game road series, which if they lose or get swept, could end their chances of sniffing .500 for at least the first half of the season.
