caulfield12 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The Tigers offense against Ponson, Benson, Horacio Ramirez or RA Dickey is a different animal. Wow, that's so sweet!!! Nick Swisher is personally wrapping Xavier Nady in towels to keep him warm on the bench since Nick Wally Pipped his position. FWIW, I think I would rather watch the Hannah Montana movie than see Swisher's mug...and the female Yankees' radio broadcaster has a crush on him already. I wonder how long that love affair will last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 TOR up 3-0 early on the Indians with Doc Halladay pitching. (White Sox fans have been joined by Indians fans booing their team as well). Indians just blew a 2nd and 3rd, no outs situation....two strikeouts in a row by Halladay, then a flyout to Vernon Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) That means they now have to go to Zach Jackson, Aaron Laffey or Sowers as their fifth starter. Things are getting ugly already in CLE, they could be 0-5 after today...right now they are down 4-1 in the bottom of the 6th. 4-3 Tigers over the Rangers...Rodney with a 1-2-3 ninth. The Tigers have officially awakened, 3-3 record now. We will be facing Miner, Galarraga and Porcello. Edited April 11, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We suck against pitcher's we've never faced before, especially ones that are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 anyone else see the new and improved kauffman stadium? Looks like a whole new ballpark now, really nice. I guess they still have some renovating to do and it won't be complete until 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Last year was a huge fluke year for Lee. I don't know if I said it here, but I said Lee will come no where close to his 08 numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 My god Horacio Ramirez is terrible. I hope the Royals use him and Ponson all year long. Swisher has walked and tripled so far in tonight's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is overused at times, and a .310 average does not make you a good player, nor does a .230 average make you a bad player, but it is far from useless.

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Royals also rallied in the 8th to win one against the Yankees...and the Indians won their first game of the year as well. Hafner already has 3 homers, so maybe he's not done after all. We still won't want anything to do with Nick Swisher playing CF or leading off.

Pants Rowland Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) well he obviously won't keep up this crazy pace, but if he puts up his career numbers he will be an above average hitter. He was not a good fit here so don't think he would be performing in a similar fashion if he were still on the Sox. I would not lament the loss of Swisher. It is too bad we gave up Sweeney for him, but who knows how he would be performing here as well. Organization can make all the difference for some players.
