A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

big win for the tigers last night. I went to sleep after the 9th....I knew it was in the bag.the pressure now on the royals will break them.

 

[dougplayer]

ESPN keeps talking about Braxton for the school down there. like he was so good and we should join suckeye nation and cry a river.
most have the Wolverines winning it all any ways. that's the way I see it. Hoke has it all smooth now. the big house will be rocking all year.
even though even though..we have to play on the road at the couch burners place and down in cement block paradise..aka Columbus.

Dougy the Tigers are dead in the water. I would tell you to move on but...

Big Blue is also dead(both sports). We know the Lions are destined for cellar dwelling again. Red Wings ship of greatness has sailed and well the Pistons are just bad.

I guess my advice would be to stock up on the Hungry Man dinners and enjoy some great tigerless October baseball!! Maybe Mike will show Miggy how a real MVP wins.

now I know you took a puck to the head....never doubt matt Stafford! never!


did you see the bertuzi law suit settled ? out of court.didnt say what that player that got hurt got

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Never doubt Matt Stafford. That right there is your problem Dougy. He might be worse than Dirks.

As for Bertuzzi that goon get's off easy. Proves how over the hill the Wings are though relying on a guy like that to try and win games. Think he will be back this year?

 

[dougplayer]

wow.tigers had the rays pitcher in a good spot.made him throw 29 pitches in the 1st inning.
40 plus after 2.
then..then.every body swinging at the 1st pitch.
bases loaded. castelonos swings at 1st pitch..ground out!its was low pitch.
wheres the hitting coach?? WTF. cant they talk to these guys? rookie castelonos always swinging at 1st pitch in the dirt.dam ass tori hunter to.now Kinsler is. kinsler struggling 2nd half..he must think swing as soon as you leave the dug out. where wally joiner? WTF

 

[dougplayer]

WOW.Kinsler makes pitcher throw him a strike.... the waits on a good pitch to hit. singles in a run. WOW who would have thunk it

 

[dougplayer]

V Mart. Grand slam. what a professional hitter.clutch to

 

[Fountain City Blues]

So, that Alex Gordon guy is pretty good, no? 14th homer of the year, tonight.

as well as another RBI for Kratz..

 

[broncosmitty]

Takes a whole lotta HEART to get 3 shutouts by August 20th. Whole lotta heart. And a kickass curveball.

 

[gandydancer]

Hoping the Rockie pen can not act like the Tigers pen tonight

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Mr. Colon reminding everyone why he is a very poor play at 3rd- his arm is piss poor.

 

[broncosmitty]

Does he get to beat Bertuzzi with a stick while he's not looking? Anything less is BS.


(I can't even avoid Stafford talk when I try.)

 

[navamind]

Stafford's been average at best over the last two years.

You're just being nice, right?

(Chad Henne had a better completion percentage last year, seriously.)

Love your shirt Howie. Haven't been on here awhile. Are you sure about that comment? Taken literally, I would believe you. Maybe the problem is how many games that they have LOST after holding the lead in the 6th, 8th, 9th, or extra innings.

Ummm.... you lifted a post of mine from May 11, dude. At that time, both of Nathan's blown saves had wound up being wins.

I liked Joe Maddon's post-game comments on Ricky P.: "From the side it looked like a wiffle ball...like playing in your back yard and the ball is just doing all kinds of weird things.''

Truly if you love this game, it is fun to watch any pitcher when his stuff is working that day.

 

[Howie115]

Well, David Price was arguably better today than Porcello was yesterday. A triple allowed in the first inning after a Suarez error, and no baserunners the rest of the game. Near perfect, and he loses 1-0. Pathetic hitting support.
