Some of you guys are here most of the day, yet wait for this old bastard to come home from working and post the game thread. It would be helpful if the handful of regulars could post it and give me one less on my to do list of Tigers and Lions team notes, Musician's Birthdays, etc.
I won't be around until late Wednesday so if you want a game thread tomorrow, then one of you will have to get off your seat and post it.

[kalinecountry]

f'n seager with a homerun to right,
2 - 0,

 

[Rebbiv]

Not looking good now. 2-Run HR by Seager. JV grooved it on 3-2 pitch.

 

[nydo77]

Double plays by our 3 and 4 hitters are a real problem.

 

[gotime909]

VMart hits into killer DP. Luckily Nick picks him up for 1. Still down 2-1

 

[kalinecountry]

Double plays by our 3 and 4 hitters are a real problem.

It is a problem having 2 of the slower baserunners batting back to back.

 

[Rebbiv]

Verlander has now gone at least 7 innings 8 out of his last 9 starts. The other....he only went 6 2/3.

 

[kalinecountry]

Iggy and Kinsler come through, hard hit outs before with line drive outs to rf.

Verlander off the hook for a loss.

 

[tigermud]

I think JV could have gone one more tonight, I don't think he was happy he wasn't allowed to

 

[tigermud]

Why do they insist on making so many quick easy outs

 

[johnny2x2x]

No pinch runner cost us the run.

 

[kalinecountry]

Why do they insist on making so many quick easy outs

Paxton hasn't hit 100 pitches, too many first pitch swinging including Miggy. I know he has a great track record with that, but maybe get this guy with more pitches, he might have been out of there an inning earlier.

Victor and Nick with hits and a IBB to J Up loads them up for Aviles yay.

 

[kalinecountry]

No pinch runner cost us the run.

That's right, Romine usually comes in for him to pinch run, another brain fart for ausmus?

 

[tigermud]

Victor pulled up a little hobble'ish at third, you know who would make a half way decent DH replacement if his knee goes again?

McGehee!

Oh yeah never mind they dfa'd him! Dipshits

 

[gotime909]

Victor get hurt?

 

[Rebbiv]

Victor get hurt?

He went into third gimpy.

 

[tigermud]

Anyway ya can get em! Nice swinging bunt aviles

 

[kalinecountry]

Was that a delayed pinch runner?

 

[kalinecountry]

Victor pulled up a little hobble'ish at third, you know who would make a half way decent DH replacement if his knee goes again?

McGehee!

Oh yeah never mind they dfa'd him! Dipshits

He cleared and is back in Toledo.
