Keep the momentum going Contreras.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) The WCIU gun blows ass but if it's at all accurate he's been sitting between 92-95 and popping it at 97 on occation. This guy will be having elbow surgery fairly soon IMO. He should use his curve more than he does his change. He's the anti-Vazquez.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) LOW 90's? Ouch, if he can't gun it up there, Detroit is officially in trouble. The Rally AJ. It's been 94-95 mph most of this game. The radar gun on WCIU is 2 mph slow.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Yea, with I-Rod behind the plate. Definitely. Yeah...I'll be content if we don't try to steal a base all weekend.

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:53 AM) Like I've told you. I am sensing a crack on Verlander's pitching. His mechanics have been way off this inning. Even on the early fastballs to Pods this inning, he was overthrowing/fading off of the mound. Good call!

Some huge runs right there.

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) No way. If Cora didn't send Cintron, everyone would jump on him. That's the right call to send Cintron home. Of course...I think Felix is just stating that everyone jumps on Cora for sending guys at home and them getting thrown out.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) Nope, he was out. Yep. The sad thing is that his slide made it a no doubt out at home.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) Tigers in a prime spot to get a lot of momentum in this game. Very nice play by Cintron to get the first out.

Tigers in a prime spot to get a lot of momentum in this game.

That's an absolutely horrific slide by Cintron.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) That was a hell of a close play. Nice throw by Monroe, and tag by I-Rod. The Tigers defense is so incredibly underrated.

Man....why does everyone seem to be running in quick sand for the Sox? Great adjustment by Anderson, but Cintron has got to score on that hit with 2 outs.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:33 AM) Way too early in the game to say that. It's only the fourth inning, and a lot can happen by the 9th. I was thinking the same thing.

Keep working the at 'em ball Jose!

Nice read by Anderson. Needless to say, Mackowiak might have taken a bad route on that play. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:29 AM) With our luck we'll get 2 runs on 11 hits and they'll get 3 runs on 4 hits. Luck? We sure seemed to have a ton of that last night.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) We need to get a little more run production on 6 hits. They handed us the one run, so be grateful for that.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) That same third pitch was called a strike in the first. Nah, that was more outside. The ones in the first inning were higher, but more over the plate.

Thome and Casey having quite a long discussion at first base. It's probably the two nicest guys in baseball talking.

Good job...I thought for a second Pods was a dead duck at home.

Excellent! Good call by Hawk there. We have to find a way to get him done. If Iguchi can't do it, it might be tough.

Good thing Iguchi fouled that off.

Keep it going Pods!

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) On game day the Count appears to be very effective. How does he look if you're actually watching him? Not great, not awful. His velocity is well down, but he's had a good forkball so far. The Tigers have hit a couple of balls hard right at our infielders.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) Lord I wish we could've picked up a decent outfielder when it was obvious back in June that this guy can't hit ML pitching ^^^^^^^^
