Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Hell, I still don't think its right to have Dave and Chuck the Freak on WRIF. Hell. getting used to the idea that Arthur P isn't there anymore.

Arthur P is a washed up creepy old guy still trying to live in 1978. He was past his prime 10 years before they clipped him.

And Drew and Mike got very stale on the morning show.

Miggy just got run in the batters box after a discussion.

That was a chicken**** call, and now Marlboro Jimmy just got it as well.

...and now Marlboro Jimmy just got it as well.

He's getting his $0.02 in though. Currently up to $13.40, working towards $20.00 of thoughts...

That was awful. Angel Hernandez would be proud of that.

And now Fairchild just ****ed Tuiasosopo on that called 3rd.

I don't know if I've ever seen anyone get tossed for saying three words.

Chad Fairchild is lucky this isn't a soccer game in Brazil. His head would no longer be attached to his neck.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Anyone else surprised that Fairchild didn't call Infield Fly Rule there?

Okay, Miggy's interview gave us nothing.

Tigers acquire Astros' closer Jose Veras for Danry Vasquez (WM) and a PTBNL.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

There's got to be another move to make room on the 25 man roster.

Solid move, I think.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Tigers acquire Astros' closer Jose Veras for Danry Vasquez (WM) and a PTBNL.

From the article:

It’s unclear if Veras will remain in the closer role for the Tigers, who’ve been looking for ninth-inning help all season and turned to the trade market after the Jose Valverde reunion predictably went horribly. Joaquin Benoit has been doing the job of late and has a superior track record to Veras, who’d never saved more than two games in a season before converting 19 saves with a 2.93 ERA and 44/14 K/BB ratio in 43 innings for the Astros.

Even though I know very little about Veras, I hope Benoit remains the Tigers closer at this point.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Big guy. Not a lefty, as I originally posted. Throws hard. Very affordable next year if he does his job this year.

And I suspect Benoit will continue to close.

Now. Someone on the 25-man (and 40-man, for that matter) roster has to go bye-bye. Who is it?

Beautiful play out of Raburn in the 9th tonight. Absolutely Raburn-esque.

Too bad the next Harrelson Hero lined out to end the inning.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Well, at least tonight must have ****ed off Hawk.
