Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

I'm going to say this about JaCoby Jones. He's going to do some stupid stuff, like running through a stop sign at 3B with the ball in shallow right field (and make it, for the record). But for the forseeable future, you can't accuse him of not hustling.

Candelario to the DL. Dawel Lugo recalled. He’s one we got in the JD trade last July.

I wonder if the AL Central could have everyone finish at .500 or under

Winning this division is going to be like being voted the prettiest fat chick at Walmart.

Guyer takes Liriano deep for a grand slam.

4-0, 1 out, top 1

Liriano having serious control issues this evening.

Jacoby gets one back.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Gonzalez just went ka-bong for the Tribe. 5-1 Tribe.

Liriano might be lucky to see the 4th inning.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Well, he made it to the 5th. I'm not quite sure how.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Reininger's getting shelled now in the 6th, and it's now 8-3. Too bad. You've got to get us some outs. We can't be running through pitchers when we're down 5 runs.

EDIT: This kid's throwing meatballs. This could get ugly.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

He got us out of the inning without further damage. Okay, fine.

I suspect he's headed back to Toledo soon.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Somehow we're at 8-8 in the 7th.

JFC, Greene. You had the win in your hand and you threw it down the right field line.

9-8 final.

Good grief.

Liriano is at 70 pitches through 6. Just sayin'......

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

The no-hit bit ends at 6 1/3. Now let's see if we can hold on for the win.

Sugar Shane gives up a 2-run bomb to tie it up.

Sugar Shane gives up a 2-run bomb to tie it up.

And the Tigers lose 3-2.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Yup. Good old Buck Farmer gives it up in the 11th without recording an out.

But resident genius Lynn Henning from the Detroit News had a tweet a few weeks ago saying that if the Tigers had Greene as a closer and Jimenez as a set-up man in 2013, we would have won the World Series. I wonder if that limp-wristed POS had Joba Chamberlain and the 5 year, $50 mil deal he wanted to give Joba baked in to all that.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition

Stumpf loads the bases in the 8th, and then can't hit a cow in the *** with a snow shovel, walking in the go-ahead run on 4 pitches. Maybe 1 of them was close.
