CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT???!?

2 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 1:46 pm

Armando’s wild pitch scores Dejesus. 1-0. Noticeably, the wild pitch was to our nemesis, Billy Butler.

3 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 1:51 pm

Gilgameche is cruising along, he may not have even allowed a baserunner yet (3rd inning)

4 Amanda 08.31.08 at 1:57 pm

Poor DAVE…in here talkin to himself..heh

Amanda: I’m a martyr, really

7 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 2:25 pm

September call-ups = Dusty ryan, lambert, wllis, dolsi, rapada, and hessman

8 Amanda 08.31.08 at 2:27 pm

To the bitter end huh. The Gustav news is distracting me from the game. Hey, but the Tigers are keeping it close.. 1-0 top of the 5th, so far so good ;) errr the Royals have the run..didn’t really make that clear

9 Amanda 08.31.08 at 2:52 pm

YAY! Go Miggy!

amanda what is gustav news?

11 Amanda 08.31.08 at 3:26 pm

Gustav is the name of the hurricane that’s supposed to hit Louisiana sometime tomorrow.

12 Jim in Mac 08.31.08 at 3:40 pm

Gotcha…I knew there may be a hurricane but didn’t know its name. I actually thought that you might be from a foreign country called Gustavia that i ve never heard of ..lol

13 Jim in Mac 08.31.08 at 3:41 pm

The game is getting interesting too.

14 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 3:45 pm

I returned from Kroger just in time to see Cabrera break the tie with a double. The game is now 4-2, but this does not distract from my displeasure at the grocery store not having any Faygo.

15 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 3:45 pm

Jim Leyland was apparently ejected at some point this inning

16 Amanda 08.31.08 at 3:51 pm

haha Jim …ya Dave BW, Leyland was ejected when (I believe Cabrera -sorry listening to music and only half watching the game- slid into 3rd and was called out) Jimmy thought he was safe and blew a gasket.

17 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 3:53 pm

Miguel has all of the RBI today

18 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 3:55 pm

Superstar closer Fernando Rodney is in. He strikes out the first batter. His posture is absolutely atrocious, however.

19 Amanda 08.31.08 at 3:56 pm

1 more out Rodney you can do it

20 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 3:57 pm

Chris: Maybe. I am about to go outside to clean up after my dog for the week, after all.

21 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 4:00 pm

Callaspo is unstoppable. He’s been on base four times today. Doesn’t he know we already have one impossible out on KC already?

22 Amanda 08.31.08 at 4:02 pm

Nice win Tigers :)

23 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 4:02 pm

Rodney finally strikes out Buck, and Tigers win! The season series is once again tied. I think. If Seattle can keep Cleveland down for one more inning we will be back in third place, and all will be right with the world.

24 Coleman 08.31.08 at 7:47 pm

I don’t know much about Gustavia, but I have read that the Gustavi can shoot a duck like nobody’s business…

25 cib 08.31.08 at 8:08 pm

Dave BW where is there a Kroger that does not carry Faygo? That’s crazy!!

26 ScottyD 08.31.08 at 8:54 pm

Anyone heard anything about Rogers or Sheffield being traded? Any rumors?

27 Dave BW 08.31.08 at 9:03 pm

cib: I live in Ann Arbor, and all I can find here on a regular basis is Faygo orange. I want my rock n’ rye, damn it!

28 adjust 08.31.08 at 11:54 pm

“Jim Leyland was apparently ejected at some point this inning”

giving the third base ump some lip when inge slid in after polanco’s bunt and was called out. we were sitting slightly back and up from 3rd, great view. crowd went nuts, good times.

just read an article that said skipper wasn’t arguing safe/out, but transfer of ball.

29 Amanda 09.01.08 at 5:34 am

You are correct Coleman. In fact, this Gustavi is on her way out the door to put in another long day of duck hunting. I’ll tell ya the results later ;)
