very little has gone right lately for Detroit, which is 7-27 at Fenway Park since 2003.

hmm, Avila still starting...maybe not as bad as we feared.

Dirks out, clownshow corner OF tonight.

Laird at DH

Leyland must've hung out with Fairley, Leshoure, and Culbreath earlier today

Jim Leyland's face when he turns in the lineup card tonight

lol. every time I see that expression clownshow, I see those clown shoes that bozo the clown wears.
maybe the wall will help Young in left, Boesch in right is a big question to me, seems to have the glove held the wrong way for balls to his right or left most of the time.
Watching a little more than half of last nights game, JV looked very frustrated and upset.
I wonder, maybe some of you do too, if he is getting pissed at the team defense and all the 4 and 5 out innings. Just seemed he was throwing more fastballs and not mixing in the curve/changeups as often.

I am going to start pounding either beer or Popsicles.....SOON!!!!! Maybe the Tigers break out of it and get 15 runs tonight!!!!!! Man we need a blow-out to go our way!!!!

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't understand both our catchers playing. And if Avila gets hurt and Laird moves to C, doesn't that mean our P bats in the DH role?

 

[Mitchrapp]

NVM, I forgot we got Santos. Yeah..

 

[tigermud]

Leading off with two mudhens tonight, oh joy. well that's ok I guess can't be any worse than any other night.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't understand why we have 3 freakin' catchers on this team.

 

[grandy]

I don't understand why we have 3 freakin' catchers on this team.

To be fair, their minor league options are extremely limited it seems, so it probably doesn't matter that much.

 

[mjsb2]

Horrible lineup.

 

[johnny2x2x]

I've decided not to watch tonight, this team is so disappointing it's effecting my relationship, I get so ticked off that it ruins my whole night and I just get so pissy with everyone around me. Going to try to cut down on game watching until they start at least playing like a major league team.

You need to go to the Mitch "School of Thought". 3 minutes after the game you forget about it.

They always tease us with an occasional good series or bust out 1 night wonder offense nights but it never last more than a couple of days.. I know precisely what your saying on the ticked off and pissy part and completely agree, can't keep doing this to myself, it's not worth it. Trying to just not care now and assume they'll suck every night, resort to mocking etc.. it's easier to take that way so that's just how it's got to be.

 

[hellifino]

right now Dirks is doing just about everything you could ask from a 2nd hitter, he bunts, hits and makes contac... so wtf lets throw Worth there and have him play 2nd base as well. I can't wait till the day Leyland gets shit canned.

 

[kalinecountry]

Dirks has a sore achilles, so he has the game off.
but still worth and his weak bat in the 2 spot, he wouldn't do it, and it's a thought with Peralta 6 for 19 with 2 homeruns off lester...why not him batting 2nd.

 

[buddyboy2121]

Berry has an ugly ass swing.

 

[spockmaster]

worth hitting 2nd and laird at DH?



WHAT. THE. FUCK.

 

[lonesometiger]

Wonderfull Cabrera comes to thhe plate with a runner on in the first. And it's a base hit.
