De Aza will hit for the cycle in the 11th.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) This game had all the attributes of corpseball, lift and pull, THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD, are you in or out, was it over...Pearl Harbor, playoff ticket thread jinx, etc

This 2 game lead can evaporate in the blink of an eye. This team better show up these last 2 weeks.

Playoff baseball!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) Does Ventura know that righties hit Holland significantly better than lefties? I understand AJ for Flowers, but using Hudson was just stupid. I don't think he knows that or many other statistical trends.

Watching that Hudson AB reminded me of how awful our bench is. Hopefully it won't come back to haunt us in the post season, if we actually make it.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) The problem is they have a 10 game homestand and we go to LA. At the end of the season, they're not playing good teams on the road, either. I don't trust the Twins, but maybe the Royals can beat them. As far as benching Viciedo goes, what happens when Wise inevitably cools off and Dayan's rusty and cold from not playing enough? Who do we have that can hit then? There's only a few more weeks of baseball. Maybe he realizes this may be his only chance at a ring and will give it his all. With Tank I'm not seeing much upside right now.

We are trying to get a playoff spot, right?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 07:42 PM) Do you trust him to hit Guthrie, Santana, Haren, Weaver, McAllister, Kluber and Masterson? I trust him to hit better than Tank at this point, regardless of the pitcher.

What a pick up Wise has been. He seems like a completely different player than his last time here.

LOL And people talk about the Tigers defense.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) or if you lose your house because you can't afford the massive tax increase on it to pay some teacher 100K a year to work half the year. Wow. The school year has been cut in half! No wonder we're falling behind in science and math.

I think the medical term you're looking for is acute maturbatitis.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 04:45 AM) No, I wouldn't consider going to Afghanistan. Not for any price. Same here. With my luck I'd be that random person they kidnap and behead me on youtube.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 08:24 AM) After so many years, yep. I'd say from this day forward anyone that goes into public housing understand that it's for a set period of time. After that, you're out. I really don't think 4-5 years is that harsh. So when you triple the amount of homeless in the country you'll finally be happy.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 07:56 AM) Who's creating this standard exactly? I haven't said anything about it. If people in public housing are in there for less than 5 years as they're attempting to get work, that's fine. If they're in their for longer, then it's not. How does that have anything to do with people I know/people I don't know? So what's your solution? Throw them all on the street?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) They did an MRI, and they discovered that he has a rare condition where the arm actually falls off the body. He will never pitch again This could be a setback.

Magic number?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 07:17 PM) I really wish this was Crain coming in and not Reed You're not the only one thinking that.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 05:48 AM) People are trying to make this mean more than it actually does. It won't affect the votes he was going to get from them anyway. The same poor people that were going to vote for Romney will still do so. The same poor people that weren't...won't. Think about it, do you honestly think that the gun rights religious crazies in the back hills of are going to vote for Obama? Not a chance. By that same token, do you think many people in the Englewood area are going to vote for Romney? Again, not a chance. This certainly doesn't help him with independents. Especially his "I don't have to do anything but win the election and the economy will automatically get better" comment.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 06:47 AM) Mother Jones may be milking this for a while. More segments of video today, this time discussing Israel/Palestine, Iran, and Obama's personality: First class warfare and now this? He's toast.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 06:38 AM) seriously, when have you ever seen a team go after a QB on a kneeldown play? Wasn't it a one score lead? What if they jarred the ball loose and recovered?

They've been playing a ridiculously awesome early 90s hip hop set on KEXP for the last hour. Hope it continues. EDIT: Including Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self" EDIT 2: Hitting up some old break dance tracks, Herbie Hancock's "Rock It" and Nucleus' "Jam On It". I'm dancing here by myself.

Moot point as Choo's bloop scores 2. Tigers up 3-2 now.
