Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Ryan Perry. Yes. This is a much better option.

Pardon me. I'm going to go put my helmet on. This could get bumpy.

Cabrera doesn't even look close to being right....

Peralta.

No homer light, as we're down 2 in the bottom of the 9th.

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

That ball is just dying at the warning track tonight. That's at least 3 times tonight where I've reached for the homer light, only to sit here and scratch.

The Tigers have been on a hot streak for a bit, they are due for a hairball game.

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

Well, if they had hit the **** ball after the 1st inning, or had a big 1st inning after having the bases loaded with none out, this game would have been much different. We did absolutely nothing offensively tonight. And in case we're not paying attention, Cabrera has been in an awful slump for about a week now, and doesn't even look like himself the past couple games. He needs a day or two off.

Cabrera's back is wonky... not good. This game was a classic example of a team that *could* win 85-90 games and screw that up.

Smart money is on a rain-out tonight.

[Hammer]

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

Yep. Rained out.

Oh, and other news in this evenings Detroit News. Benoit has lost the set-up job for the duration.

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

Benoit is lucky he hasn't been deported after the way he has played.

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

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....

Tough to let this name slip past unnoticed.

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

That name's been on my radar for a couple years, for more than one reason . At least his parents didn't name him Harold.

I'm surprised that it's Furbush and not Oliver.

Oh, and Armando Galarraga got DFA'd by Arizona today.

I didn't realize this series got moved from Boston to London. I'm waiting for Jack the Ripper to come out of the Green Monster and shank the left fielder.

I would be more worried about some West Ham United fans popping out before Jack.

Scoreless thru five.
