I realized you were being sarcastic. Jaws wasn’t(or at least that was how I interpreted his comment). I should have been more clear and directed my defense of the Twins to him.

It has been too long…

I never said they were the only ones to do it. Everyone does at some point or another I’m sure. Even our Tigers steal signs – it’s part of the game.

I’m just saying there is one of those unwritten rules that ballplayers abide by (like when Young got plunked yesterday in retaliation for the throw behind Everett’s head) and when you’re caught there are paybacks.

David,

Its been too long, you no longer know when I’m being completely sarcastic. I’ll work on posting more.

Yea, I’m surprised they actually showed it.

I don’t agree with that. It has been around since it’s inception. To be honest I wish they’d show it more often.I’m also for allowing roids, and not worrying about pitching inside.

This game has been weakened by all the formal and informal rules and regulations.

I mean Mauer’s whole purpose in the game should be and is (as evidenced in this video) to win.

Nice omission of the Tigers 15-21 record vs. AL East compared to NYY nad BOS record vs. AL East opponents, not to mention Boston and NYY records against AL Central.

absolutely, especially since MIN is clearly the only team to steal signs. they should pay.

Can we talk Tigers pitching probables for this series? If we don’t clinch tonight, is it set in stone that Figaro will pitch Saturday? I just can’t believe we are going to hand the ball to someone with almost no experience-especially in such a pressure situation.

Is there a Plan B? How about starting Verlander on Saturday and moving Porcello to Sunday if necessary?

I’m trying to remain positive, but I got an hour’s sleep last night going over the pitching match ups for the weekend.

Born in Detroit. Taking it all in down in Myrtle Beach.

that is a disgusting display of poor sportsmanship—plain and simple! I hope they get blown away by KC and KC plays them with fake signals etc!!

I don’t want to think irony either, but the thought crossed my mind so I wrote it

In the “positive thinking” post of the day, I foresee the Twins unexpectedly being tripped up tonight and lose as they scoreboard watch during their game and see the Tigers squeak out a win against Peavy and the White Sox to close out the Central.

Let’s not think irony. Let’s think something bubbly…..like champagne!

I was at the game – unbe-freakin-lievable call. You should have seen the smiles on the Twins players faces. Even they couldn’t believe the call. It was like an early Christmas present. They were all looking at each other like, ‘really, we get a gift?’
