AL Central Smack Talk

[Tigertowner68]

Well...if doug is a true 'homer'....he will be blaming Leyland for all the Tigers' problems. S.O.P. in Detroit, I think.

S.O.P. indeed.

Hey Doug, good to see you alive and well. Not jumping off bridges yet?

Hard to jump off a bridge if you live under it

homer
Someone who shows blind loyalty to a team or organization, typically ignoring any shortcomings or faults they have.

Too hilarious...even at the expense of a fellow Tigers fan. Not malicious either. Just very funny.

I must chime in on Miggy and Fernando. Rodney is not an elite control pitcher, it was the 10th inning. While he may have been trying to gain back the plate on the league's best hitter, it was not a situation where you plunk him. Miggy, who had made fun of Farnsworth to the ire of the Rays, overreacted. Leyland came to his defense, like he should. So did Porcello, like he should. But the fault lies with Cabrera. Man up, and hit a HR off of him -- you do it to everyone else. I think TB owes Detroit one now...

Jimenez is due for a melt down. Great trade giving up your two best prospects for a guy with a plus 4 ERA.

Doesn't matter you have to return the favor. It's like taking a run at Sidney Crosby if you don't back up your stars then the next guy decides he will move him off the plate high and tight.

Due for a meltdown? Hell hes been in meltdown mode since he came here

Those 2 prospects we gave up arent panning too well though are they?

 

[Iffster]

Looks like Indians will have first place alone after today.

Needs to be said.....as good as Miggy is....he does not have a lock on the MVP. At the rate Davis is going, he could take two of the three triple crown titles.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Miggy and Davis both basically have one of the TC titles locked. Average for Miggy and Homers for Davis.

RBI is fight right now.

Yep, by a whole half game...& we all know how fast that can change...

I feel your pain. Cleveland made a deal with Mr. Haney from Green Acres on that one.

"Oliv-er, did we really get saddled with this mule that Mr. Haney said was a thoroughbred?"

"Yes Lisa."

"Well what are you going to d-o-o about it Oliv-er, can't Mr. Kimball do something?"

"Ah, forget it Lisa. Him and Mr. Drucker are the hayseeds I warned you to watch, you naive little city girl! But the next time you see Eb wandering around here, warn me if you see Mr. Haney!"

He has done that in the past, in his mind if not for Leyland the Tigers would be undefeated...

 

[dougplayer]

me and other smart Tigers fans have been blaming Leyland right after he started Figaroa in game 163 in Minnesota a couple years ago.... twins fans remember that game. when Inge got hit with the ball with the bases loaded...and they didn't call it... yea you remember

 

[dougplayer]

homers?? that would be Indian fans that went on vacation fromMay till a week ago..then they show up again..

I just tell it like I see it...iam no homer. just cause we have one of the best teams in MLB..(AND THATS WITH NO BULL PEN). AND we have no comp really in the AL Central.

how many Indians will be in the ASG??? how many Tigers???? Xactly

 

[Nosferatu]

Says the guy who rides a huffy with a horn on it to work...

I don't remember Inge being hit

 

[dougplayer]

to think any body but Miggy will win the MVP is just foolish.

Davis will go cold as the empty seats in a Browns game...(cause no one is setting in them)
remember the last O that had this type of home run pace??? Brady? found out he was using PEDs.....Miggy is as clean as Michigan snow

 

[dougplayer]

oh nosfer. you remember Inge getting hit with the ball. hit his uni. had burn marks on it... of course with the bases loaded Tigers would have went on to win that game. but just like the red wings....we never get those calls

 

[Thruthefog]

The past is dead, Doug. It's time to bury it.

 

[dougplayer]

those who forget the past are doomed to repeated it...you can quote me....

sorry if bringing up the truth hurts some peoples feelings...

by the way..quote me on this.. verlandersnext start...will be a gem a gem I say!!
