In a battle of has beens, Mauer puts the stones to Verlander.

And Verlander has now given up all of 2 hits through 6 IP.

We'll see how that 3rd time thru the order goes.

 

[Howie115]

Other than the Mauer home run, you gotta say RAZOR SHARP for Verlander.

8 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K

But the Tigers haven't done shit at the plate again.

Crazy, the Indians starters' ERA is almost a full run lower than the Tigers, their bullpen ERA is .83 runs below the tigers, they've scored about 5% more runs than the Tigers, and their payroll is one hundred million dollars less than the Tigers.

Dombrowski has all of baseball fleeced. I was sad to see him take his ineptitude out of Detroit, but I suppose if he had to take it elsewhere, I can't think of a better franchise than the Red Sox. Hopefully he'll head over to the White Sox after he's done fucking up the Red Sox system.

funny, the first thing Dave does was go out and get Kimbrel, he gets hurt, he goes and gets another closer. Maybe he has learned.

Who are the Tigers facing?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Holy shit.

Tribe rolling. 11-0.

 

[Howie115]

Well, that's why you don't bring your closer into a non-save situation. The Twins have 3 hits, and are in line to win the game and series.

 

[Wamu]

Holy shit.

Tribe rolling. 11-0.

"That can't be right!"

These lines from a Paul Simon song fit well for Tigers, White Sox, and Royals....

'Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away'

 

[Howie115]

In a three-game series, at home and against Twins pitching, the Tigers batted .194 (18-for-93) and scored 4 runs.

That's about as pathetic as it gets.

 

[Iffster]

Doug will be here shortly to inform us that the Tribe will start to fade around November 2 and then the Tigers will control the AL Central as usual.

Oh, shit. That's funny!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Sorry Doug

Needed some of that Kepler heart

 

[bksballer89]

I like our chances tonight. Unlike the indians. Tigers will handle the twins

Now seems like a great time to remember what dougie posted a couple of days ago

So, what's up with your avi? Lose a bet?

Na MarkOu was getting on my last nerve so this av is to make his life on SportsHoopla miserable anytime he see this avatar.

Doug is sometimes smarter than he acts. He knows better than to appear when the Tigers drop a series, at home, to the Twins. And drop another game farther behind Cleveland.

If he does drop by, I hope he leaves me the percentages on the chances Verlander has for the CY award and MVP. JV was sharp today....so I was wondering if doug thinks I should buy tickets to those ceremonies?

You rainbow warriors kill me.
You forget assmouse cost us at least 12 games a year. Today was just 1 of many he cost us. Don't I have to school you every day?

 

[broncosmitty]

Doug = The Broken Clock.

Twice three times a day?

If it's Daylight savings.

Do they have WAR for managers?

They should.

Somebody get Omar and his calculator on this.
