Tigers vs. rangers Game Thread August 12

Can Boesch really be that stupid? 4 pitches in the last 4 AB, all 4 ground outs. Him and Delmon should both be benched for their stupidity.

Frankly, I would be happy if we saw both of them benched for a while. Put Baker and Berry in for a while. Lefty-Righty match ups shouldn't be the one overruling factor in a lineup when you have persistent problems like this. Of course, this presumes assertive, perceptive coaching....

What an awful poll.

Why the hell are Rose and Gwynn listed amongst the best hitters of all time?

 

[manchild98]

Avila came into today's game with the best OBP of any catcher in the AL.

 

[tinselwolverine]

yeah, I survived 38 years of PMS.....postal management stress.
knew many like him, including myself into my 30's.
It does, but with Rick having a less than inspiring start, I'm kinda waiting for them to get a few more before he is taken out. Turning the game on trailing 5 - 0 leaves me with a less than pma.

Quite interesting that maybe the best humor in the world comes out from United States postal workers.

Maybe this could be incorporated into an early retirement plan, turn in your firearms for early retirement and a lifetime enrollment for open mic night at the Improv/Comedy Club.

Maybe President Obama could roll this idea into ObamaCare/Gun Regulation legislation.

Or not.

Maybe Mitt Romney would want to jump on this; he was your governor once; he never was mine...

Wow that lightning striking in Texas was hilarious.

 

[cmlfactor]

Come on prime DP candidate here...

quite a cross section of society....
when I first started before the wildcat strikes back 1970, some used to leave their snub nose on their desk case where you put the mail in the racks,

lots of high alert with the inspection service and postal police the last 30 or so years and even more since 9/11.

As an NALC union steward for a few years in the early 90's I would think you know how I felt and currently feel about the old governor of massholechusetts, and if he becomes Obama's successor.

 

[kalinecountry]

Boesch, first pitch in play: 2010, .365 (35-for-96);
but .191 in two years since (21-for-110).

Well yes, I would imagine that I do...

You probably peak in from time on the political boards from time to time, right?

Sarcasm/irony is pretty abundant...

Maybe I cross pollunited into a Tiger game thread more than I would have, had I thought a little more about it...

 

[kalinecountry]

Dirks with a 2 out walk,

Miggy due up....now the stall tactics with pitching coach out there, bullpen warming up,

Cabrera 1 and 2, fouls off a 2 seamer on/off the corner, takes a curve outside, Dirks getting on Fyu's nerves, and crap Miggy fouls it off his foot or ankle, Kevin Rand is out to see him, fastball outside and asshole catcher trys to pull it in a foot, full count, Dirks running slider low outside for a walk,
Miggy fouled it just above the foot, at the front of the ankle joint. gets hit about the only spot the shin guard isn't covering, Cabrera still hobbling behind 1st base as Rangers make pitching change. Foul tip found perfect spot at top of his foot to aggravate injury.

F-yu gone and ross in,

Fielder with 2 quick strikes, pop up to left,

shyt,

yeah occasionally, I like to read what is said, and how one side will turn a question into another question, but...
You are never going to change anyones' feelings or beliefs about 1. Politics, or 2. Religion.
But most do or try, and then get all exasperated because the other person can't see what they see.
Politics and religions have caused more deaths through the centuries than all the worlds plagues combined.
I am happy/content with the Tigers, Lions, and RedWings message boards, and the other boards here.

Whew.

Me too.

And I sure didn't mean to piss you off.

 

[gotime909]

I've never understood Leyland wanting to pitch a reliever the next game after having a bad outing.

 

[kalinecountry]

Whew.

Me too.

oh not at all.
not pissed,
well pissed at this game.

 

[kalinecountry]

I've seen enough for about 15 minutes,
gonna take a mittromney and wipe my texasrangers.

 

[lonesometiger]

defense shows itself again how to mess up an inning.

 

[gotime909]

Jesus Avila, wake the FUCK UP!!!!

 

[lonesometiger]

Ok we got two outs and a chance coming up this inning.

 

[lonesometiger]

Don't worry about it JB you saw more pitches than the guy you PH for in one at bat!

 

[lonesometiger]

Good grief dy. Could some one just take the bat away from him until the pitcher pitches the first pitch to keep him from going 0-1 in the count!
