Well, when Brandon Inge goes fishing for anything related to the word "curveball", bad things usually ensue.
Yeah, but would Inge in a ditch be such a bad thing??

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Well, on general principle, no. I'm just saying that if the stadium is on Curveball Lane, and Inge keeps trying to hit Curveball Lane, chances are, he's in a ditch somewhere or wrapped around a power pole.
Or he pulled a real-life check-swing and he's stuck at a red light about a block from the stadium with his blinker on.
Apparently in the Twins' camp today Zumaya had to shut down his throwing session after feeling something in his arm.
File this right next to any Dontrelle Willis news. I liked both guys, but man...
Yeah, hate to see him just kind of fall apart like this. He was fun as hell to watch when he had his stuff right.
Any word on replacing the Hammer Homer Light??

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
Sizemore's done for the year, too. Torn ACL.
All right. Tomorrow we open up with the traditional game against Florida Southern, and then we start playing the fake games for real on Saturday. I'm not going to break down the pitching staff right this minute, but figure on 12 pitchers on the roster. That leaves 13 roster spots for position players. Without adjusting for any potential trades, I think it's safe to pencil in....
C: Avila and Gump the Hitless Wonder
1B: The Prince
2B: Ramon Santiago and .160 Raburn (.160 is his average before the All Star Break, and his fielding percentage afterwards)
SS: Peralta
3B: Big Boy
LF: Delmon the Bat-chucker
CF: Austin Strikeout
RF: Boesch
That's 10 right there. We're going to need another outfielder, so that puts Dirks and Clete Thomas in the mix for a spot. Don Kelly is likely to end up somewhere on this roster. And then the last spot looks to be for either Danny Worth or The Human Checkswing, depending on whether Cabrera can play the hot corner without booting a ball over the broadcaster's booth or decapitating some old woman in Row 12 of Section 117 with an errant throw. It might be fun just to watch Tom Brookens watch Cabrera play 3rd.
Believe it or not, this shapes up to be a quiet camp on the position side, unless Marlboro Jimmy runs over Fielder's leg with a golf cart after dropping a heater out of his mouth. Oh, and get used to Brandon Inge stories in the papers, because between that and the #5 starter, there's the biggest stories in camp. Sorry.

I do think Inge should at least keep his catching gear handy as well. I don't think I would mind it that much if he catches about 10 games next year. Helps give Avila the occasional blow, and well, gives Leyland an excuse to not go to Gump so much for that duty.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
glanced over at today's "game" against Atlanta. 11-0 Tigers in the fifth. box score mentions, "HR: Avila, Raburn, Boesch, Fielder, Young, Peralta, Jackson... E: Cabrera, Mi (Fielding)"
I'll take it.
Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version
I'll be down there on friday and give you a full report. IMHO Cabrera cannot play third and they are going to have to put inge back there and let prince DH, but it will take a while to make this happen. I also hope that boesch doesn't hurt his thumb again, he's got a lot of upside to me.Inge especially has trouble with sliders with 2 strikes. maybe he can fix that, but it's awful late in the career.
