I think it’s Martinez’ fault Polly got tossed–he was shouting and pointing at Polly (as well as Sheff) for who knows what reason, so I think the umps figured he must have done something. Either that or the aesthetic appreciation of the symmetry of tossing both 2nd basemen (or 2nd basements if you prefer). The surprise is no fine for Inge, who went full-bore out after Martinez, and took him down in a Farnsworth-level way. Inge had Sheff’s back; no surprise there, we all know how strong the bonds of the .220 Brotherhood of the Oblique.

Thanks Angie- Ya I saw the replay and to me it didn’t seem that Polanco did anything. Seemed Cabrera was more in the mix than Polly– I kinda thought they may of just randomly picked him so 2 players from each team were tossed.
haha about Joyce..and as others have mentioned the (I’m just a temporary Tiger/wish I was still a Yankee) Farnsworth was MIA.

One of the umpires claimed he saw Polanco hit somebody, but replays show that didn’t really happen. Polanco’s theory is that the umpires felt they should toss two from each team, and since there wasn’t a clear second guy from the Tigers, he was the one who got picked. I read somewhere that Polanco’s not going to make a big fuss about the ejection, but if he gets fined or suspended he’s going to say something.

How adorable was Matt Joyce though, just dropping into the fetal position and covering his head?

Hey can anyone tell me the reason that Polly got ejected? Ive been busy and haven’t been able to find out what happened with him.

I thought it was Sheff in the headlock with Carmona doing the pounding.

If you call out Gary Sheffield, he will answer that call

Gary Sheffield can divide by zero.
Gary Sheffield has counted to infinity. Twice.
Gary Sheffield’s tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries.

Gary Sheffield knows who you are, even if you don’t know he knows

Sheffield is a ANTAGONISTIC BUM! Dump him & his over inflated salary & ego. He’s a tired old “child” of a man. Cabrera is a class act. Did you see him telling Carmona sheff ain’t worth the effort? If you want fights watch the wings.

Dump Shef & Rogers (a class act) & free up the cap for young talent.

RudeMood19: “ol Sheffield would absolutely destroy Carmona, and Victor mArtinez, especially Victor Martinez in a fight.”

If Martinez got taken down by Inge, I don’t think he would come out of it very well if he got into it with Sheffield…

lol Sheffield would absolutely destroy Carmona, and Victor mArtinez, especially Victor Martinez in a fight.

Martinez talked smack at the end of the game, if yuo guys check it out, and I’m gonna bet he doesn’t have remotely anything close to the great career Gary has had.

‘Nuff said.

Sick game though, ironically, when I was watching it with my dad, my thoughts echoed Billfers, this is a perfect loss.

Anyways, hockey’s starting people. Get into it!

Go Habs Go! lol

Maybin has more hits in three games with Marlins than in 24 with Tigers. Good times.

I still don’t regret that part of the trade. I’d deal Cabrera for Maybin any day. It’s the Willis part of the deal that was crazy.

stephen: “Brandon Inge has no business being on the 2009 Tigers. .211 and dropping like a rock”

You aren’t considering the intangibles–like the take-down of Martinez, getting the umpire confused about the count, and the Peter Pan outfit. Oh wait, I might be confusing that last bit with the rookie hazing story.

It was indeed a perfect game, but everyone forgot one important ingredient: it again showed that Brandon Inge has no business being on the 2009 Tigers.
.211 and dropping like a rock. Too bad there’s no federal bailout in baseball!
