Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

A passed ball on a 3rd strike scores 2. And for once it went our way, so I don't have to scream like an idiot.

Dammit. I thought it was the 9th inning.

Okay, Seattle needs to go get this Heston guy. He's given up 11 total bases in the span of about 7 pitches, including a triple to Jim Adduci (whose identity I'm still not sure about).

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

Now look, Mr. Zimmerman. We are NOT here to play "monkey see, monkey do" tonight. Please cease and desist from giving up cannon shots into the bullpens. Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

Okay, if we blow this one, fire everyone. 16 runs should be enough to win 3 games.

Seattle's gonna need a backup shortstop to mop up this one by the time it's all done. It's 16-4 in the 5th.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

Mmmmmm.......Kristen Keith.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

16 runs and we're going to go through the whole ****ed bullpen because no one down there can find the strike zone without GPS and a seeing eye dog.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

All right, who's the knothead with the horn playing the Rocky theme song in the stands?

MAHTOOK!!​

18-7, bottom 8

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

****ing Christ. Can't ANYBODY here throw strikes?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

I'm not putting up Giant Tiger when we give up 9 runs and the bullpen walks everybody but the beer vendor in Section 221.

FSD had technical difficulties, right about the same time the bullpen did. Fitting.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

10 run lead and Sanchez doesn't get to pitch. Done-zo.

Edit: Tigers pitching- One strikeout and 7 walks. Checks out.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

So the Tigers are in first place, have won their last two games by a combined total of 19 runs, and still somehow have a negative run differential. Of course they're still only 12% into the season, but that's one hell of a stat.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

Sugar Shane Greene needs some time in Toledo. Now, Norris wasn't sharp tonight and threw an awful lot of pitches early, but Greene's stuff just isn't MLB caliber at the moment.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

So....Anibal Sanchez just pitched to Nelson Cruz.

Gee.......I wonder what happened next.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 9: The Carlos Guillen edition

Iggy activated. Kyle Ryan to Toledo.
