Hope for that sweep. Bad pitching match up for us and a couple guys out of the lineup. I'm glad Peralta gets another day off.

 

[boggs87]

Good lineup for today. Good to see Peralta and Avila get the day off.

kelly is at first and hitting 2nd? im going to strangle leyland. how fucking dumb can you get? i thought we were trying to win games!

 

[Mitchrapp]

I didn't seed him playing first. Just pure genius.

 

[bavarianinnman]

Good for those guys to have the rest but to bad its today with cleveland playing boston and the sux playing the yanks.

But I guess better sit them now then when we play our divisional foes.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Sure but I just think they get too many days off. They're not old man and its not a huge demanding sport. Skill, no doubt, and I understand its a day game after a night one. BUT COME ON JL. All better now.

I would be interested to see the stats as far as how Leyland compares to other managers with resting starters. I don't like that he seems to give WAY too many days off to the regulars, but I watch the Tigers almost every day, whereas I see other teams sporadically. Could it just be that since its in our face every day and it bit us in the ass in '09 we go overboard with that criticism? Not saying that's the case, just posing the question.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It could but still. You should be albe to go 162 when you're in your 20's.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's the way to get out of trouble.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I hope we kick this guys ass.

 

[mhughes0021]

crazy how he keeps his velocity late into games when hes throwing 98 in the first inning.

Kiss your Klingon with that mouth!?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Penny is getting squeezed.

 

[Mitchrapp]

What the hell..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ahhhh, could have had a triple play. Damn.

 

[mhughes0021]

jeez betemit k's a lot.

 

[Mitchrapp]

[Mitchrapp]

SQUEEZED.
