Damn, didn't want to hear that, hope that doesn't turn into one of those nagging deals that just seems to linger on for weeks on end.

Rushed home from work to find my normal stream isn't running the Tigers game today. Fuck Florida.

I'll take junk ball guy over 100mph and good curve ball guy

 

[Mitchrapp]

5 bucks Inge doesn't hit it out of the infield.

 

[Mitchrapp]

You suck Inge.

Like Rug-Burn I think the Popsicle needs warm weather.

Here is what the Yahoo fantasy site had to say about Fister today.. I am sure KC will have more on this..

Fister (left costochondral strain) stopped his throwing sessions Tuesday after experiencing discomfort away from his original injury, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Recommendation: He managed only 12 pitches before calling it a day. The Tigers medical team said the discomfort was not in the left costochondral strain suffered on April 7 and this wasn't a setback. Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand expects Fister to resume throwing after a few days of rest. Fister is eligible to come off the 15-day DL on Monday, but he'll probably need a couple more weeks to heal.

I wish we had Billy Butler.

 

[jas5lf]

Butler and Chen. My two most hated Royals. Used to be Ibanez.

well so would I personally, but it's not about us, its about the strengths and weaknesses of the offensive bats that play for the Detroit Tigers. They hit this 100+ guy just fine yesterday after they couldn't do jack with Chen and that is the whole point. Same story tonight, they can't square up the 83 but make good contact with the 100. We need to figure out what the best FB line up would be vs what would be a good off speed lineup. Here's what i'm thinking so far just for shits and grins.

FB Lineup:

Dirks
BB
Cabrera
Fielder
Young
Avila
Peralta
Raburn
Santiago

Off Speed Lineup:

Jackson
BB
Cabrera
Fielder
Peralta
Avila
Worth
Kelly
Laird
