A.L. Central Smack 2015

Miggy's contract will even be worse in his 40's, lol

Verlander won't shine in a playoffs with an Oakland A's lineup to dominate, I can't believe I said that, that's even if Det can find the playoffs

The Tigers are a lock for the playoffs. But, I'd still rather win the division than sweat a 1-game win or go home.

Please change your name to Doug, Jr

I'm sure everyone in this thread will take joy in some precious Hawk Harrelson butthurt:

Dan Dickerson calls James McCanns walkoff home run - Bless You Boys

I'm as big a Tiger fan as there is, and I don't think they are a "lock" for anything. Could finish anywhere from first to fourth. (Wherever they finish, Detroit will be ahead of Cleveland because they simply own the Indians head-to-head.)

It's nice to see the Tiger bats finally coming together. But the starting rotation is, frankly, very up-and-down. Price is pitching for a contract, and will be fine. But neither Verlander, Sanchez, nor Simon give me the warm fuzzies that they'll be consistently good this year.

verlander pitches a gem tonight. a gem I say!

 

[JV35]

Joba Chamberlain is seriously pathetic. They need to figure something out and dump him.

 

[dougplayer]

yes joba sucks...but just as Leyland loved INGE. assmus loves joba. he will be allowed to blow games well in to September. sad

 

[dougplayer]

HEART. tigers come back and tie it up. going to extras.
JD MART does it again. he should start in LF in all star game not that royal word

Mike Leake was given a 9-1 lead yesterday but didn't get the win because he only went 4 innings after allowing 6 runs in the 4th.

His excuse was he "got bored".

How the hell do you get bored as a starter when your offense is piling on runs to give you a free win?

If it was me I'd literally have to call a doctor due to having an erection lasting more than 4 hours. Last thing that would make me "bored" as a baseball player.

verlander pitches a gem tonight. a gem I say!

6 hits and 5 walks in 6 innings. Also 2 HBPs.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Well the twins went full clown show in the bottom of 7th.

Still up 2 at least.

 

[dougplayer]

6 hits and 5 walks in 6 innings. Also 2 HBPs.

Q start in his 3rd outing of the year he reached 96 mph. slowly getting there be ascared

 

[broncosmitty]

This is one crazy 5 n half hour game.

And Gorzellany blows! (Been a longtime since I remember seeing a big leaguer miss a bag. After already passing that bag once. GOrkys was sweet when he was a WhiteCap though.)

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Twins win!!!

Hughes has been rolling his last 3 games...aside from his usual long balls. All solo bombs at least.

Dougy shoulda predicted a Hughes gem instead of shitty ass Verlander!!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Twins lose ho hum

But Sano comin!!!

 

[navamind]

Simon gives up 15 hits in < 6 innings.

bats have been around all season, its the pitching staff as whole...how does DD go with Coke for so many years and now stick with AA, Joba and Gorz? Does he think you can just throw anything in MR?

DD not winning a ring with at the time the best hitter and best pitcher in baseball with a high payroll is one thing. Putting a .500 team together around the best hitter in baseball just sucks. Give another GM that payroll and miggy and see what he can do before Miggy falls apart.
