I took it as a joke.

I saw it and took it as a joke but had to step out for a few minutes and then wasn't sure when I started thinking about it.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Ugh!!!

 

[jdbaker1]

Crap, Drew doesn't have it today, I think he will be a very valuable piece of the bp but not today.

 

[gotime909]

Smyly still eh?

 

[kalinecountry]

not having a good feeling about this.....

f'n Leyland.

 

[jdeb]

Smyly has no command. Get him out of there.

 

[jdbaker1]

Who is warming up?

 

[kalinecountry]

get Smyly the hell out of there.

 

[turok]

Smyly is just Smyrky today...walks em loaded take him out Jimmy.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Every year they do this to JV.

 

[turok]

Kershaw pitches 9...yeah, I know its really feeling minnesota out there..but w/e.

sigh....

 

[gotime909]

Haven't been out on the main board in awhile. Anyone fire up the "Fire Leyland" thread yet?

 

[kalinecountry]

Smyly pitching 7th inning,

hicks first pitch grounder to Peralta throws him out,

mauer singles,

willingham that pitch on 2 and 1 was a perfect strike, fu joyce die, singles,

moroneau walks and bases loaded again,

Leyland takes out Smyly and

Al Al pitching,

doumwit singles runner scores bases still loaded,

Tigers lead 3 - 2,

plooffe strikes out swinging,

parmalee full count swings and misses a slider low and Avila catches the bounce,

 

[gotime909]

After seeing that bases loaded 3-2 slider.....I think we've found the closer for this team!

 

[jdbaker1]

I was hoping after the start that we wouldn't have to see a save situation today, we could really use a few runs right now.

 

[spockmaster]

Day one and hes already mismanaging the pitching staff. I guess I shouldnt be surprised at all.

 

[turok]

Tigers batters still gotta learn not to take their cleats off their opponents' neck too early in the Verday games I guess.

 

[thehippo73]

After seeing that bases loaded 3-2 slider.....I think we've found the closer for this team!

I agree. He has got the stuff but is he durable enough?

 

[kalinecountry]

Benoit now warming in Tigers bullpen.

 

[jdbaker1]

All right boys, you need to use this.
