Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Dear Ryan Raburn:

You already lead the league in strikeouts. There's no need to take a called third and jaw at the umpire. There's a reason they sent you to the plate with that big round wooded stick in your hand.

Sincerely,

The fans of the 2011 Detroit Tigers.

With the rain being substituted for fog, now would be a good time to get the roller skates off of Raburn and get him out of the outfield.

Okay, file that one under "Great play! Don't ever ****ing do it again!!!"

Rain delay in the top of the 8th.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

who is that on the mound and what have you done with the real phil choke?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Well, the way the fog was tonight, Ron Guidry could have pitched with his right foot and got a quality start.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

See? Once the fog lifted somewhat, kaboom. Red Sox score first.

Saltalamacchia bounces one off the monster deep in left center. I'm not second-guessing Marlboro Jimmy on this one. Danny Schlereth should be able to get a struggling lefty out. That one's on him.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

After a hit batter, and a fan screaming out "you're mother's a whore!!" afterwards (no, I'm not making any of this up), Schlereth is done. Not a good performance out of him at all.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

As soon as I saw Raburn at the plate with 2 outs, I knew we were *ed.

I wasn't disappointed.

Since May 5, Cabrera is 5 for his last 32, hitting .156. He's slugging a whopping .219 in that same stretch.

That was actually a better game than that night deserved.

Tough break for Coke, who might not have been done for the night. At least it wasn't the umpire having an itchy trigger finger. It looked absolutely miserable by the time he ordered the tarp out.

Schlereth wanted out ASAP. Saw the highlight where he tried to give the ball to Leyland but he was actually staying in. Not shocking that he gave up a hit after that.

W T F, Martinez? That should have been a run. Get your *** home from 3rd.

[Hammer]

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

See, Victor? That's how we tag up and score from 3rd.
