Camus and Sartre are decent, but Kirkegaard has the highest VORP.

Different animals. Billfer does a great job on this blog, and it’s the one I read the most of the Tigers blog, though I also like Lee’s and Eddie’s. Motown Sports game threads are pretty dumb, but there are a lot of cool people there, and we have some good discussions. I’m sure you’ll find friends there.

David – lol, you asked for a definition I was just trying to help out.

Morals are not subjective, but the accurate assessment of morality for those with finite knowledge is subjective.(Actually, the accurate assesment of ANYTHING for those with finite knowledge is subjective)

You wrote: Personally I don’t care if Dtrain is an ahole if he can pitch.

If he’s on my fantasy baseball team, I’m 100% on board. However, all else being equal, I’d prefer good guys to have success over bad guys, though I’m not going to lose any sleep either way.

I haven’t read Kant since college, so I can’t comment on that one. Though I’ll take Sarte or Camu over Nietzsche any day. Especially Sarte in his last days when he became a theist.

The press reports really downplayed Schrieber’s touch on Maggs — he didn’t just “guide” him or direct him. He pushed against his back. Not proper with any player, but that’s a former batting champ there, and some respect should be shown. I felt you could see from the Ump’s reaction when Maggs stops after that shove that he knew he crossed a line. On top of all that, Schrieber called two outside pitches for strikes on Maggs that at-bat, and probably knew it.

Good for Jimmuh chewing him out like that.

Is Nate hurt? I can’t find any info to confirm this.

Just saw Leyland’s ejection from last night, I just thought it was over balls and strikes. I hope Schrieber gets suspended for touching (pushing, rather) Magglio. A player would be suspended for much less.

FYI, the Twins threw 188 pitches vs. the Tigers’ 255.

A point:

The pitching staff’s efficiency sucked last night. The Tigers averaged over 20 pitches/inning — a total of 255 pitches in under 13 innings. Too many full counts, and not enough Ks or double plays.

Willis and Zumaya were the best, I thought. Willis threw 53 of 87 pitches for strikes, and probably got jobbed on a handful of others. Zumaya was left in a long time, but put 33 of 47 over for strikes.

Stat of the game: Tigers pitchers notched 5 strikeouts in over 13 innings; The Twins got 11.

Hey Eric I was just looking at Motown Sports, and saw you have a s-load of posts. What is the difference between that and here…anything? Or do a lot of the guys overlap? I’ve never posted there, it looks interesting.

Verlander absolutely has to pitch 7 innings tomorrow. The bullpen’s going to be Luke French and Fernando Rodney. Miner might be available in a pinch, I guess. Probably not Perry.

Why didn’t we put in a starter? That might sound a bit crazy, but at the same time, losing a game like this could start a huge skid.

I’d like a win tomorrow Justin please. I’ll take a winning 4-3 road trip.

Yea Inge shoulda pitched. Leaving Lyon out there was crazy, even if Nate is injured. And why would you only throw Rodney 1 inning?

It was a darn good game though. Besides the losing.

I called the Granny btw. It was hilarious. I’m like “oh here is fu**ing Crede, I bet he hits a Granny.”

Just to clarify, Nate got injured during a pen session?

(BTW – props to DTW and the users, best Tigers info avail)
