[Mitchrapp]

Pick the stiff.

 

[turok]

Oh...hai....they finally scored!!

 

[tigermud]

It should be pick the whiff. Or pick the popup. Or pick the worst BP guy.

Pick the Schmuck

 

[tigermud]

Pick the stiff.

LOL yes! That works

 

[Mitchrapp]

Pick the Schmuck

It might be us. Why are we still watching?

 

[lonesometiger]

A run!

 

[turok]

After tonight we now own the worst winning percentage and worst run differential in the majors. Last place is finally ours!

Its about time.

 

[tigermud]

It might be us. Why are we still watching?

gluttons for punishment

All these coverage guys should just start drinking on air and really uecker this shit up

 

[turok]

It might be us. Why are we still watching?

Trainwrecks are notorious for being hard to look away from.

Besides we might very well be witnessing what will become the worst team ever in MLB history, for a very long time...that is...unless the '20 and '21 Tigers teams will be progressively worse.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Comeback time. Get those rally caps going.

Loser loser kitten dinger

 

[turok]

Nice homecoming, boys!!

But the blue jays were the ones who provided the bigger and better fireworks display tonight.

 

[tigermud]

Gardenhire expresses disappointment in post game interview says they probably played one of their worst games of the year and in front of the nice crowd tonight he’s not happy about that at all

 

[tinselwolverine]

Tigers a half game outside of Baltimore but leading Baltimore in losing percentage.

 

[turok]

redsux had ex-Tiger jd martinez playing in RF last night...with predictable results, turning what should have been a double into a two-base error and score. He, along with ex-Tiger price on the mound, turned the game into a rout for the orioles.

 

[turok]

How the hell does JZ still have a net positive WAR of 0.8??

s/b -1.0 or worse.

The commenters on the BYB game thread last night, also noticed the FSD crew often eschewing the live action on the field for their own personal hitting philosophies and "pick the stick" competition, among other trivialities. They esp took aim @ Shep, who as the PBP announcer, is supposed to take control over the narrative, and refocus attention upon the game @ hand.

While I can understand not having much if any respect for this gawdawful collection of mostly castoffs and scrubs, the game of baseball and the viewing audience certainly does deserve to have their respect and attention @ all times.
