Game 2009.097: White Sox at Tigers

26.07.2009 45 comments

PREGAME: A series split would have been acceptable. Going 3-1 tilted towards the home team would have been a positive step. A sweep, well, that would be freakin’ awesome (technical term). Fortunately the forecast for the Tigers is a positive step with a chance of freakin’ awesome. Rick Porcello had some rust last time out [...]

I apologize for the abbreviated game post tonight, but you can make up for it by voting Inge. He just took [...]

PREGAME: Jim Leyland took advantage of an off day this week to shake up the rotation and put Alfredo Figaro in between Justin Verlander and Edwin Jackson. The thinking was that it would help balance the bullpen use some. He wasn’t figuring on Verlander getting chased in the 6th inning. The bullpen would have been [...]

The Tigers have once again placed Dontrelle Willis on the DL due to anxiety disorder. Alfredo Figaro will be called up from Erie to start on Saturday. I’ll have more on this in an hour or so. It’s been a little more than an hour now. Alfredo Figaro got a little bit of a late [...]

The Good Friday article

25.03.2009

In today’s Free Press there is a story that is titled “Christians call foul on baseball’s Opening Day.” I’m quoted early on in the story. The quotes are accurate, I’m not disputing them. But if you choose to read the article, read my quotes for what they are. My quotes are: “I can get around [...]

Breaking Bad

Welcome to oblivion. Welcome to last place. I don’t care about the payroll and dollars per win or any of that. I care that my team, my emotional and time and financial investment, the way I choose to “enjoy” my summer, is going out with a whimper. A team in last place in a division [...]

10.09.2008 63 comments

WTF: What the… WTF: Where’s the Focus WTF: Where’s the fundamentals This Tigers team continues to leave me lost and bewildered. I enjoyed a beautiful day at the park, as I watched the Tigers make 2 boneheaded plays on the bases. Twice today the Tigers hit into double plays, and neither were of the ground [...]
