A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

[navamind]

Lets get serious.
who will the Tigers face in the ALCS????


Baltimore??? not worried
Angels.... California baseball doesn't scare any one.
As? we own them in the post season..and they know it.

Good thing they have a proven closer™ in Joe Nathan!!!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Now that is HEART dougy!!!

Vargas smashing porcello meat balls like he's supposed to do. Perkins tried to blow it but in the end heart prevails!!!!!

Lol you guys got shut out by Nolasco!! Bet you wish you had September trout now!!

 

[Nosferatu]

Just wanna be on record saying Joe Mauer sucks and has probably the worst contract in MLB history!

 

[Nosferatu]

Oh and while i'm at it how do the Tigers keep running Nathan out there, he's phucking terrible!

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hey, rotation depth doesn't seem very funny when you have bullpens pitching 6 innings. Hendriks really has screwed us over his past 3 starts.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Royals are collapsing. This sucks.

Sack up and pitch Duffy. Hendriks sucks ass.

Hendriks hasn't...he is pitching just like he has for the last 3 years......they really should have tried Finnegan in at least 1.


COLLAPSING???? are you guys insane....in april lets state KC will be 2 games out in mid sept....all royals fans....hell ya we will take that.....all tigers fans....no freaking way you will even be 10 out.


The Tigers are the only collapsers no matter how this ends.

Why do you keep spewing that nonsense? Like after missing the playoffs 29 years in a row and saying every year "this is our year". You still resort to "hey didn't expect this".

Man things suck for the Twins these days but holy god I'm glad I don't have that horseshit mindset.

They are collapsing. Losing to awful teams at home when you had a division lead is exactly what that is. Any way you try and twist it with early season expectations.

Finnegan was already on an innings cap (that he is close to) and has struggled to throw strikes up until he magically stopped issuing walks in the minor leagues.

Meh. 2-2 in the last non Hendriks starts. You tell me who is collapsing?

Bottom line, the Royals having zero rotation depth is no real surprise.

no you have a different horseshit mindset, good call, a prick that wants to rip into anyone, for any thing at any time and doing just that everywhere, much better mindset, kudos, at least your hating on everyone and everything.

The Tigers have collapsed and let the Royals in on this race, get past the week or two with your narrowmindness....the royals lose a couple of games on the Tigers and its the Royals all of a sudden are the "Great collapse of '14", your an idiot....how many people predicted the Royals to win the AL Central, how many picked the Tigers? Crap its 2 freakin games...the Royals are MORE than still in it, du'mass.

The crap you added about playoffs for 29 years and using some "this is our year" slogan was pointless dribble you think actually believe somehow makes your position stronger as well as some actual points that I used and you now want to use to pin on me?, has nothing to do with anything other than you being a jackass to keep up your recient jackass persona.

 

[Howie115]

I, for one, have said all along ... since spring training ... that the Tigers were about a 90-win team. And it looks like they will win around 90-91. If the Royals get hot again and win 91 or 92 to take the division, that's just the Royals playing better than expected. No "collapse" on the part of the Tigers if they basically do what any sane fan expected them to do.

Lobstein was a nice addition only after suffering through Farmer and Ray.

Hendricks is not the reason Royals lost last night. IMO.

I am rooting for the Royals. You're the idiot. That is YOU ARE. See, if you are going to toss around the insult, please for the love of god get it right.

One of the biggest reasons this thread went to shit from the past(Vice definitely had his problems) is you arguing stupid nonsense with guys with Vice and Cleaves. Now you get all defensive? Holy shit.

Losing game in September to teams far below .500 is not good. I can bet 100% the Royals players don't share your shitty ass mind set.

Who cares where they were supposed to be at the beginning. Fact is they are HERE NOW. Right in it and losing games to bad teams. Meanwhile the Tigers(shoot me for saying this) are posting clutch comebacks on a nightly basis

The running gag is every year Royals fans say "this is our year" stop trying to say otherwise. I personally hope it is there year. But jeez just because you have sucked ass for 29 years doesn't give you an out anytime they lose to bad teams. Newsflash...you are supposed to beat the White Sox at home...everyone knows it.

08 the Twins lost Torri and Johan after a awful 07 season. They were expected to do NOTHING. Somehow the team fought and lost game 163 1-0 on a Jim Thome solo bomb and Ken Griffey JR's corpse threw out Michael Cuddyer at home. I sure as shit didn't shrug off that heartbreaker and get defensve "No one expected us to be here your(you're) all idiots!!!!!!"

That is recent cactus persona.... Carry on

 

[gandydancer]

Sad when a guy wants the Tigers to choke so badly he jumps on a division rival to cheer for.

Hell if Royals win it would be a great story. Sad and shameful on Tigers part. Great story book ending for KC.

Just glad I don't have have the mindset to be happy players get hurt for other teams.

 

[gandydancer]

Oh and while i'm at it how do the Tigers keep running Nathan out there, he's phucking terrible!

Hard to make me defend Nathan. That was young stupid defense last night.

Although I still would like to see Soria. Not many options Nos, Joba has been shaky also. They do have Price in that rotation though.

 

[gandydancer]

Hey stat junkies... What is the criteria for getting a (hold)? Not sure what inning you receive one and such and what the lead needs to be.

What? I don't want the Tigers to choke so badly I am rooting for the Royals. I just want to see the damn Royals in the playoffs. Tigers can make it as well(would prefer not) but man you got some interesting conspiracy theories.

Would just be an awesome playoffs with the Royals joining the great stories of Angels and Orioles. Mariners would be cool too but not likely.

And who the shit is happy a player got hurt better yet...who got hurt?
