Tiger total of 4 errors in the double header. Is that possible? I guess it is.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) Saw this earlier on twitter but apparently Bud Selig will be changing the division name to AL COMEDY CENTRAL for next year. He should put Houston in there for the heck of it.

Split a series with the Twins at home. (that's bad) Since when did the Royals and Twins start liking the Sox?

Tigers 3 errors. Selig should just step and give the division to the Royals. Neither the Sox or Tigers want this division.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Garcia, Peralta, Avila ? Oops. My bad.

Twins have to go thru the best part of the Tigers order.

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) Valverde is my least favorite player in MLB... Twins 2-1. He should be your favorite.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) Not to be overly negative, but can you remember a series in which the Tigers laid down and died, so to speak, and competed less than this past one? It was like three games of blah which is baffling to say the least. Do these guys even want the postseason or would they rather start fishin' and huntin' in a week? Somewhere in Motown there's a post with the same exact sentiments.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) I agree. I'm hoping for a nice surprise tonight in Detroit, and change that to 7-3. 5-5 would do it if Detroit goes 4-6. I hope they go 0-10.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) slumps can't last forever Thats the only thing giving me some hope It might end in 10 days.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 05:21 PM) Seems like it's the opposition's 3 and 4 hitters that are killing the Sox of late (Gordon/Butler, Pujols/Morales, Ruth/Fielder) Seems like it's the our 3 and 4 hitters that are killing the Sox of late.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 05:19 PM) I wonder how the attendance is going to look on the homestand. I'll go with BAD.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 05:13 PM) Does Ventura have any idea that Jose Lopez is a much better hitter vs LHP than Hudson? Hudson did. That's why he swung at the first pitch. He just wanted to grab some bench.

QUOTE (Baron @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) " I have a very low tolerance for stupid bull****" We should put you in the dugout to take over for Robin.

The AL West might be the best division this year.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) Go Twins! Go every team that plays the Tigers.

Hard to believe Pujols had a slow start. Our former NL talent is medicore.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) Yep, Adam Dunn supposedly wanted to play for the Cubs, but since they didn't offer him a contract, he decided to play for the Sox. Fukadome was offered more money by the Sox but wanted to play for the Cubs. Imagine how bad that would be.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) It's the reality of being the second team in the second city. In reality, we're a mid market team with mid market results. We don't draft in the top 10 often. FA's don't want to come here to play for the second team in the second city, and never have. Hey, at least we're not the Brewers! Players follow the money.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) You just wonder how we're so damn bad with RISP. Part of it is regression back to the mean (since we were abnormally good early in the season), but that's not enough to account for most of it. These guys must be so uptight at the plate right now. Who isn't this time of the year in a playoff hunt. I still have suspicions the team has too many mental midgets.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) Manto, probably. Can't expect Ventura to go anywhere, unless he just quits and decides it's not worth it after one season at the helm. That's entirely possible. After over a decade of 3 manager changes, coaching changes, the constants are KW and some of the players. The Sox are never bad enough to be crappy but never good enough to win.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) Fine, then bat him at 5. Good luck finding a left handed bat that gives you 40&100 on the free agent market So far the Sox haven't.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) Maybe YOM KIPPUR and a return to USCF will replenish his magical Greek powers. No desire for the organization to add Morel to the call up list says a lot. They could probably use him. He couldn't do worse than the big money guys in the line up.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) Lucky break, could easily have been a triple there if not for the fan grabbing it. First RISP for the Angels today. Two outs. This is where Gavin usually has a mental lapse and gives a damaging run. Wells 9/24 lifetime against Gavin Floyd. Does Robin Ventura know that? Pitch around Wells and go after Ianetta? Yes, that pencils out to .375. He got out of it. He's lookin pretty good. Too bad he will probably make a mistake which I will blame on the inept offense.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) I will take 2 more years like this one from Dunn and won't worry much about it. 40 bombs and 100 RBIs is ok for me That's fine for fantasy baseball. He's no threat to any AL pitcher. Worst #3 hitter in baseball. High K rate doesn't work in the AL. He's the first guy I get off this team.
