Those are some great numbers for our guys off Lewis.

 

[packersfantheo]

I'm feeling a win tonight. Rangers are gonna get Fisted.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers' Jim Leyland sticks with Austin Jackson as club's leadoff man in Game 3.
DETROIT

 

[kalinecountry]

Former Tiger and 1984 World Series champion Chet Lemon will throw out the first pitch before Game 4 on Wednesday the team announced.
The national anthem Wednesday will be performed by saxophonist Alto Reed of Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band.

 

[kalinecountry]

Delmon Young is now out of the game. Dirks is in, lineup might change.

New lineup order is up,

Cabrera bats 3rd,
Martinex cleanup,

Don freakin Kelly in the 5 hole, like him or hate him, that has to be a huge confidence boost for him.

I have a good feeling that the Tigers will get the win tonight, with Doug pitching.

Hope that the Tigers' big bats will wake the fuck up!

I get the feeling everyone starting/playing is open and subject to criticism after the past two games. Only way to change that is Win.
Need some home cooking at Comerica and the ghosts of past Tigers Greats to help out.

I'm looking for Jhonny to RAGE tonight.

After a few of the shit strike calls against him last night, I expect him to take it out on the ball.

Bat Raburn 8th but have Jackson and Santiago 1-2 with Kelly 5th.

Brilliant.

 

[kalinecountry]

Just in case,
Because you have to do it this time of the postseason: Pitchers BP. Verlander just hit back-to-back shots into LF seats.

Eh, he's batted 3rd, hell he's even batted 4th before.

And he batted 2nd against the Yanks in game 5.

And with how he's hit so far in the postseason, I don't see how his confidence could be any higher.

Hopefully he can continue to forget that sucks (and yes, he even sucks for a 25th man) and put up some good numbers, because Leyland will probably continue to give him ABs.

Maybe he is availble to pinch hit for Avila tonight.

Kelly should wear one of Kell's old jerseys under his.
Cabrera a Greenberg.
Santiago a Gehringer.
Ajax a Cobb.
Dirks a Crawford.
Raburn a Heilmann.
Avila a Cochrane.
Fister a Newhouser.


Can't think of any good ghosts to call on for SS or DH.

Right handed pitcher, where do you want Raburn to hit?

I'd have him 9th.
