There he goes again playing Kelly at 3b, I don't get it, why did we trade for Betimet?

 

[spockmaster]

i fucking hate leyland. betemit destroys right-handed pitching and kelly cant hit his way out of a wet paper sack, yet kelly keeps starting.

 

[biggunsbob]

Thanks KC.... Get us in fellows... I am off with my son to help my dad at the range... ..

Stat of the night...

As a starter the Tigers are 11-3 when Wilson B. starts..
When he does not start the Tigers are 3-10....

LOL... I guess because Kelly is 3 for 4 verses Pavano is why he is starting...

Thanks guys ...see you later...

Jimmy Smokes.....LOL

Theres got to be something up With Betemit for him not playing very often..

 

[austindayeisaboss]

usually if your 5th starter is pitching and hasnt been great wouldnt you try to put your best possible lineup out there to win. kelly did nothing last night to prove he is worth the spot at 3rd. i dont think we traded for betemit because we needed a bench warmer cause thats about all hes doing. jackson was on base what 3 or 4 times last night. i know he might of twisted his ankle but if hes healthy he should be out there too. jim musta ate too many wheaties this morning.

This could be a very high scoring game..

After the game last night JL said that AJ wasn't going to play today or tomorrow.

Hey haven't been able to post in awhile. Got to go to the game on Monday for Thome's 600, pretty cool.

I was really hoping AA would hit a natural cycle though, that would have been better IMO

 

[bavarianinnman]

Wow just noticed the white sux are only 3.5 games back from us. and only .5 games back from the indians

 

[amajjd]

Kind of scary they are both still hanging around. Let's hope the Tigers go on a run and get a lead on both teams. Its funny the Indians just won't go away

 

[tigers99888]

Delmon Young really wants to blast his old team lol...

 

[Mitchrapp]

That was a bomb.

This could be a very high scoring game..

Not if we keep hacking at the first pitch

BB got a walk and Delmon hit the bomb on a 2-2 pitch.

I know I was referring to the last AB I don't care what his ave is on the first pitch it just irritates me when he first pitch weak flys out like that

Would you be mad if he got a HR on the first pitch?
