Dmitri Young working the at bat...then flies out to Mack on pitch 8. Couple of long fly balls off of Freddy thus far.

Singleton can't add.

Farmer calling for a homer by Mack. Yeesh. Take 2 joe.

Pierzynski tries but also doesn't get the job done. Come on Joe C.

Konerko hits it off the wall, misses a dong by a foot. Leadoff guy @ 2nd.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 10:16 AM) Hey guys, I passed! Time to hit the bar and watch the game and have a drink. Catch you later! Congrats Wedge! No one will ever shoot you down!

Ordonez grounds out to Crede on supposedly yet another dynamite play by JC

Rodriguez singles to Pods, advances to 2nd when Pods drops the ball. Ordonez up.

Polonco hits a deep fly out to Mack.

Granderson pops out to Crede. It also seems that Gene Lamont is the Tigers' third base coach. So that's what happened to him.

Thome K's on 3 pitches.

Iguchi K's.

Pods fouls out to Inge.

Tigers lineup: Granderson, CF Polanco, 2b Rodriguez, C Ordonez, RF Young, DH Shelton, 1B Guillen, SS Monroe, LF Inge, 3b

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 09:58 AM) I'll evaluate him by the 4th, he usually gets rocked early, then settles in. He'd better keep it close today though, cuz Bondy can be tough. Check nuts and step up Freddy. We'll probably be able to evaluate him by the first time Shelton comes to the plate.

Last week, Coop said Freddy was going to get an extra-long warmup before today's game. Hope they kept that plan.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 08:58 AM) Why so? Are they huge buddies or something? Yup.

Yay, the board is back up on time!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 07:15 AM) I have to believe there will be a response from the Family Guy Camp. This could be great comedy if an Anime World War erupts The south Park episode hasn't been that harsh towards Family Guy. They're almost the sympathetic character, at least thus far.

If nothing else, I think one of the biggest benefits of resigning Garland was that it'll help us resign Buehrle next offseason.

Freddy...time to stand up & show that you have some marbles.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Family Guy uses way more flashback type segments in the new episodes than they ever did in the old episodes, it's incredibly annoying, the plot barely moves. Some of us adore the random, pointless gags.

Pods better already be getting as much BP as humanly possible.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 05:05 PM) I really don't know which prospect is uglier, a nuclear armed Iran ( which by the way is cozy with Al Quada ) or an all out war which would engulf the entire Middle East. I really hope Iran backs off but something tells me this is going to get far worse before it gets any better. Something tells me that an all-out war in the middle east may already be inevitable. The Sunni states in the area are already starting to engage in diplomacy on their own, planning for what they'll do when the situation in Iraq finally starts to collapse, and they're deliberately setting themselves apart from Iran & Syria. These sorts of meetings are how battle lines are drawn.

Crede with web gems #2 and #4 on baseball tonight, with back to back plays from the 9th...some nice compliments from Berman too.
