Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Jesus H. Monkey****ing Christ.

Fine piece of managing there, Marlboro Jimmy. I could barely get that last post on the board before that masterpiece.

That was just brilliant. Scherzer isn't even close in walking the prior hitter, and Jimmy goes to the mound, apparently on a cigarette run, because he does not remove Scherzer. Assdribble Cabrera promptly drills the next pitch halfway to Cincinnati. And then MJ decides to go get Scherzer.

Gee, it's so tough to see what Double-D has not extended his contract. That whirring sound you hear is Sparky spinning in his grave.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Well. That's fitting. A walk-off grand slam.

MJ's post game comments: "mmff gurble ugff augh".
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

If Jimmy lifts Scherzer when he should have, we may very well not have been in that position.

But yeah, I figured it was going to take a miracle to get out of bases loaded, 0 out there.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Adam Everett scores the winning run, too. Nice guy, too bad in Detroit. Not exactly the same ill feelings towards him as toward Laird-o. Still, losing like this, after being swept at home... not a good night for the Illitch's.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

I must say, these are the best April In The D commercials they've made yet. :D Although I'm not sure why they would want to mention the Pistons.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

That ball was foul when Avila scooped it. We got away with one there.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

That was a helluva performance out of Albuquerque. Am I the only one who gets the image of Fernando Rodney, minus scaring the living daylights out of us?
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Why the **** is Cabrera NOT standing on 3rd?!?!?!
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

A leadoff double by Cabrera, and then we stick our bats up our butts. We might not see the 14th inning.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

So....how do we blow this one? Walk in the game winner, wild pitch, or the old fashioned bomb to right-center? I'm going with option #2.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Yes, let's walk the bases loaded and give the rookie reliever no margin for error. This worked so well last night.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Yep. That ended well. :rolleyes:

I've seen enough of Marlboro Jimmy.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Lawl. This team sucks and is managed by someone clearly senile.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

All right. It's May, or at least it will be in 2 hours. It's not early anymore. We've got issues in the top 3 spots in the lineup, and 2 spots in the dugout. We could move Avila, Raburn, or Peralta into the #3 slot, but there's not an easy answer for the other problems.

We're in trouble.

We should have won last night's game, and could easily have gotten this one as well. That's what burns my ***. Cleveland is not that good. They're not as bad as I thought they were, but if they win the Central, the entire front offices in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota should be shown the door.

Who is this April In The D girl? And can she do a May commercial as well?

So we were all correct in that it would be a 3-team race this year. We just didn't know it would be 3 teams fighting for last place.

What a crap fest MN, Chi, Det have been so far.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

I was about ready to let loose a rant about Don Kelly hitting 3rd today, but he just doubled in the 1st run.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 1 - The Lou Whitaker version

Well, we put up a 2-spot in the 1st. Let's see if we do anything else today.
