...don kelly is leading off tonight???



what. the. FUCK. over under 3 runs for tonight...with this lineup i say under.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Lefties are hitting .324 off their pitcher, I like the lineup in that respect.

Austin Jackson with the day off. Ryan Raburn with the day off. Jhonny Peralta with the day off.
Combined 2 for 31 vs. mccarthy.

In truth KC, Rabum has taken the season off thus far. I have no problem with this lineup (w/the possible exception of AJ, who's still quite hot). I would have joined the chorus calling for JLs head if he didn't play Dirks.

 

[gotime909]

10 runs guaranteed!!!!!

 

[tigermud]

don't care for Young 5th, serious lack of plate discipline from him lately is killing us.

So true ZonieTiger/Pistonsfan, Seems like the whole world of Tigers fans sees it except the guy making out the lineups.

Do you or any of you guys get the feeling that the Tigers wanted Young to DH more than he wanted, but then after his 'problem' they felt now they have him over a barrel and he knows it, but given his track record, is he giving it his all while DH'ing more than he wants? meh, I'm thinking probably, but I wouldn't doubt it's passed his mind to 'punish' them for making him DH more during his year before FA. All the first pitch hacking etc.

hehe great, maybe so.. just great. Well if he didn't let so much #### drop in front of him all the time out there in left. uggggg, how much is this costing us we can't really afford to eat anymore salary. This sucks.

 

[tigermud]

There are 5 guys in Oakland's lineup tonight hitting under .200.

 

[biggunsbob]

it is time for a long winning streak...I will take 2 but how about a 12 gamer!!!!! LOL....Make it happen Jimmy!!!

 

[mjsb2]

I think Young has a month or so to get it going before they cut bait.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

This lineup is atrocious. I'm thinking 1-0 loss after extra innings.

I think that's exactly it, and Delmon has to keep his fat mouth shut because he's lucky to have a job after the New York stunt.

And I think Delmon is trying as hard as he can, as much as people wanted to think otherwise, he's just not a very good ballplayer, and never has been.

 

[hellifino]

Raburn should get the night off more often,

 

[biggunsbob]

And the bad luck continues!!!!

 

[tigermud]

Man prince can't catch a break. He looked safe to me also

 

[coulomb]

at this game. nice that the b team is playing

 

[cmlfactor]

How's everyone doing? I was supposed to be taking a break from baseball but it just didn't work out. I've been sneaking a peak at the scores when I've been bored. Just can't stay away...I'm a masochist...

 

[cmlfactor]

...and I can't believe that little bitch Inge has 8 rbis against us...

...wish he'd flap his ears and fly away...like forever...
