I swear, it's not an alt, Hammerdown.

He's the definite article.

Friend of mine from FN. guy knows his baseball, but doesn't spend much time on the MLB threads, because he's jerking off with Clem and Dole.

Dream stuff.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Busy at work. Getting organized to visit London in September. And I can't complain about my DLFL season to this point. Arenado is the man!

London! Nice. How long?

You have the best team this year. I hope you win it.

Nah. I haven't been in that forum either. Just haven't had time to log on here.

So when it all boils down...

Only time to jack off Clem and Dole. And we all know Dole ain't tipping.

8 days in London. We are celebrating our 30th Anniversary.

I'm happy with the team. My pitching has been pretty dependable. And I've had fairly good luck with no big injuries. I lost Fielder but he wasn't doing much anyway and I had already benched him.

Along with no tip, he'd try to give you a coupon. Cheapest guy around.

So what do we think of Tim Tebow wanting to play baseball? He's a heck of an athlete. I can see an independent league team offer him a job. He'd be a sure fire draw at the gate. But I can't see him getting any further than A ball, and maybe not even A+ level. He was good in High School but he didn't see any 95 MPH heaters or 89 MPH sliders.

I'm with you. He's sat out too many years - missed too many ABs. It's a sideshow.

Meanwhile....the 1948 Champions...led by Head Coach "Khaki Pants", has announced this season's starting QB:

Dougeena Player

 

[Iffster]

Verlander starting and hoping for a razor. A lack of razor sharpness tonight coupled with a Tribe win....and someone might have to try out a new song and dance number.

This is where Cy Young candidates separate themselves from the pretenders.

Tribe played today. Lost.

That's some doug-esque research on your part.

I wasn't sharp
Verlander WAS sharp
Tigers lost anyway

Or Devin Gardner, for that matter.

Must mean they didn't have heart!

 

[broncosmitty]

The bullpens lack of heart is killing my liver.


(They also have no offense.)

Well, they've got a day off to regroup, then Texas to face the best team in the AL, so they've got that going for them.

Pitching matchups seem to favor the Tigers, too:

Sanchez (5.88) vs Darvish (2.78)
Boyd (4.69) vs Hamels (2.89)
Fulmer (2.43) vs Griffin (4.38)

Should be routine for TX.
