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

Had Victor tagged in the 2nd, we'd have the lead.

Bases loaded, 9th inning, and our #3 and #4 hitters strike out.

Son of a *****.

And here comes the disaster.

Okay, that was actually kind of funny. 1 out.

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

There it is. It just came a batter later than I thought.

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

Well, it's quite apparent that Brad Penny has exactly diddly-poo tonight. If he gets out of this inning any better than down 4-rock, it's a nice escape.

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

It's a nice escape. Now let's see if we can figure out how to get to first base without a GPS.

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

And the rookie busts through in the 5th.

Saw on twitter that the Tigers are having Coke make his last start then back to the pen, calling up LH Charlie Furbush from Toledo. Speculation, but worthy of discussion. Benoit was yanked by Leyland, new set up guy is Al-Albaquerque....

Accurate, as usual. Brad Thomas to the DL, Furbush recalled.

bases loaded no one out: No runs score. Tigers lose.

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

Turns out it wasn't Hanrahan's wife that sucks.

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

I have two requests, both similar. First, get Ryan Raburn off this team. I don't care where you send him. Minors, trade, waivers, whatever. This is the kind of guy that gets managers and hitting coaches fired. Secondly, either get Perry's arm checked out or dispatch him to Toledo, and let's see another arm in the 'pen. There is no reason to have a guy down there with an ERA in double digits two months into the season. His performance has been pitiful. 10.00 is great for a gymnast. A pitcher? Not so much.

Yes and yes. Funny how Karsch and Anderson talked about the same thing in lieu of Dirks. On the forceout play at home against Boston, both agreed- Raburn would certainly have thrown the runner out, IF he wouldn't have fumbled the ball first-where Dirks executed. That typifies his fielding- and no need to talk about his hitting.

Perry has been a bust since he's been with the Tigers. I don't know who they would risk bringing up from the minors, though. My next fear: losing Miggy to the DL.
That and of course we all know that Ordonez and Guillen are probably done. Too bad. This season had potential-except for the flops in the bullpen.
