Holy crap, there's a kid in A-ball with 104 stolen bases already

He had 103 last year.

Jim Joyce is working 1st base. Somewhere Armando Galarraga is crying.

Take that American League! We Tigers don't want home field advantage!

The Tigers haven't won the Series with home field advantage since 1935.

Exactly. All part of the plan.

Like I said in the Tiger thread. When he starts hitting 96+ early on, he's in big trouble. When he's on, he's 91-93 for the first few innings, and then he turns on the blowtorch later (6th-7th inning or so).

Looked like a typical first inning for a Red Sox starter.

Re: MLB 2012, Part 1 - It's here

Yes, it did. But the starting pitching blows chunks and Verlander is the starter for the All Star game.

I'm sure I could send you a DVD of the last couple hours of the 2011 regular season. Some classic baseball that night.

Bautista staggers around in the 1st inning like he needs a seeing eye dog, and he makes a great play NOW?!?!?

I am pretty sure I can count the number of Joe Nathan's 1-2-3 innings as a Twin with one hand.

Oh, no need. I relived it in all its glory on Opening Day in Tampa. You have to admit, no team collapses better than the Red Sox.

Hey. We had Gerald Laird leave 10 guys on base in a divisional playoff game just to get to the postseason, one in which we lost in 12 innings. Yes, 10 LOB.

I got hideously drunk trying to forget that. Why are you bringing it up?

Re: MLB 2012, Part 1 - It's here

It's either that, or talk about the debacle we just witnessed 20 minutes ago. Or Ryan Raburn. Or Brandon Inge.

 

[bronconick]

Re: MLB 2012, Part 1 - It's here

I just remember after the game was over the 5 of us that were at the bar together ordered a shot for each man left on base by Laird.

Had to pick the car up the next day after that.

 

[Hammer]

Re: MLB 2012, Part 1 - It's here

I'm mildly surprised you remembered where the car was.

Re: MLB 2012, Part 1 - It's here

Well, it was guy 1: shots 1,2, guy 2, shots 3,4, etc.

Before that, there was still a debate about whether we could dry out before close.

And Braun robs a double from Fielder.

It's not the AL's night.
