Too close of a play for comfort at first. Yeesh.

Grab some bench Babe.

X rays negative on Craig Monroe, Ankle Sprain.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 06:30 PM) What's the chances their leadoff walk scores? It took about 20 seconds for our leadoff walk to be erased. On average, 55% league wide, IIRC.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) Doesn't matter how many pitches he's thrown at this point in the game. Their bullpen is good enough where it's almost better to have Verlander still in the game. Their bullpen is not that good. They have a couple guys well above 6 in ERA, Grilli, and so on. Zumaya is good, but they're certainly not going to scare you otherwise.

77 pitches for Verlander through 5. 79 for Jose. f***ing Mack.

I'd sell my soul for a complete Center Fielder Patience Scotty, he's wild this inning, don't help him out.

Mother f***er.

The dreaded leadoff walk. MACK MUST SCORE HERE. Get him over, get him in. Don't let Cintron bunt.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) Gonna be close to end tonight I have a feeling. Boy, where in the world did you get that idea? Shocking.

79 pitches through 5 for Jose. On pace to go 6+.

Jose still seems not there.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) In a way, I wish that game never happened. Of course, it was great for the team to win that game, and for Anderson to contribute. However, it seems nothing more than a fluke. I love how you've decided that the kid has no present or future ability to ever produce based on his first 200 at bats.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) Seems like he can only hit a fastball. Case in point: King Felix. Everyday Eddie isn't exactly throwing gas right now.

QUOTE(Big Hurtin @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) Whatever happened to big mouth Dmitri? DL, he's been hurting all year. He's also facing domestic abuse charges or something like that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) You know I blame Ozzie for everything....but I don't blame him for not playing Anderson. Anderson's bat vs. Verlander's fast ball right now? Mack isn't that good right now either, but at least he might make contact.

Eek. Make him pay for that pitch Tad. Hey Justin, it was the wall's fault, not Iguchi's.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) Hmm, if the Tigers lose Monroe . . . He's definately out for this series, I'd be surprised if he doesn't hit the DL the way that looks. Yipes.

Monroe will be out for a while. Yipes. That's a joint injury somewhere.

OH HE JUST MISSED THAT ONE. Nice work Pods. Monroe hurt in LF.

Aggressive baseball. Me likey.

All right Alex...hit out of the 9 spot. Yay.

So is DirecTV f***ing with anyone other than me? I walked into the door, put the game on, saw AJ strike out last inning, and then suddenly the White Sox game turned into the Women's Channel WE. It just turned back to the game in time for the Granderson home run. This is moderately obnoxious.

Damn. Shut em down Jose, come on.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) I remembered reading this before, but I didn't realize it was 8 years old. Wow. IMO, No onion article will ever top the one from late Jan, 01: "Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'". Possibly the most accurate prediction in history. Up and down the list. Nostradamus, eat your heart out.
