elrockinMT Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) Definitely not yet, we can score some runs off this guy the Tigers have on the mound. Humber can't give up many more though I am buying a bottle of your snake poison. Three guys with slumps for the Sox (Dunn-Konerko-Rios) ame through in the 1st. We can still make something happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) Trade for a SP. They have nothing to lose, this team isn't going to be very good next year if they don't at least make it to the ALCS this year. Unless the offense magically reappears, adding one starting pitcher isn't going to lead the way to the promise land. Also, there is absolutely no way for you to predict how the team will be next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team can't score runs. Why trade for pitching when they get zero support. This team needs a firesale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:32 PM) I'm not losing hope just yet, maybe he had the 1st inning jitters. The kid for the kitties has a 10+ ERA. Let's roll SOX! Then Sox are screwed history tells us guys like this right all wrongs against Sox offense.

caulfield12 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's not like the Tigers are going to get any worse in the near future. Just can't wait for Victor Martinez to come back and be the full-time DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop with the fire sale comments please, it would just destroy this franchise and outside of Peavy, it's not like there's anyone on the team that has trade value who would be dealt.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) I wonder if he'll use the elbow excuse again to explain his suckiness this season? He's literally been one of the worst pitchers in baseball over the last year. There have actually been 22 worse starting pitchers this season than Humber. EDIT: Oh, maybe you meant over the past calender year. In which case there have been 25 worse starters than Humber.

fathom Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Turner has one good start this year, one bad start. It's not like he's had a 6 ERA for the entire season. Of course he had no issues with the 7/8/9 of the Sox lineup today, which is about AAA caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is absolutely no way for you to predict how the team will be next season. I don't think anyone would expect them to beat the Angels or Rangers in the Wild Card game. Let's just face it, the Tigers are better, especially with the injury to Danks and the rookies filling up the pen. We will forever be haunted by Escobar, Thornton and Reed from Thursday night's game...and Ventura's inexperience.

Really? PK has value. Rios has value. Tank has value. Floyd has value. Reed has value. Thornton has value. Alexeii has value. Youk has value. And you say destroy the franchise? If you haven't noticed, the franchise is doing a pretty good job destroying itself as we speak. You think people want to spend money to watch this crap?

Also, there is absolutely no way for you to predict how the team will be next season. You have a better chance of the offense reappearing than this starting staff being good enough to make the playoffs. As far as the team goes next year, I don't think it's unreasonable to think they will be worse off than a 1/2 game out on this date next year.

elrockinMT Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The magic in game wizzard on Gameday popped up telling us that the Tigers hurler is leaving the ball up and is prone to giving up the homerun. Really? Can't tell it by this team. Should I hold out hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
