MLB 2010 Season Thread

[betterREDthandead 58]

Western swings are always brutal, so I'm OK with 5-6 out there, especially since we got two of three from Minnesota. Willis was awesome yesterday. Just keep beating the Twinkies and things will take care of themselves.

The Rookies are really stepping it up! Boesch and Sizemore both get their first ML homers and Jackson goes 5-5 and leads the AL in hits. Starting to like this team a bit. Just need to whip the starters into shape and we might have a team this year!

RIP Ernie Harwell good man, great for the Tigers and the entire state of Michigan!

[Third Man In 2,091]

So, ehm, baseball season!

RIP Ernie. You'll be missed.

And then, there's this kid:

Dallas Braden with a perfect game against the Rays. Really? Against the Rays of all teams this year.

[rwfan007 18]

Big Rick with the game of hos career. Shutting out the Yankees over 7 innings is a hard task.

[rwfan007 18]

3 of 4 from the Yankees with 2 shut-outs... pretty solid series I would say.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

We need Roy Oswalt ASAP.

4-2 against New York and Boston, not bad

[rwfan007 18]

I am very confused by this Tigers team. With a 22-17 record, they are good, but I don't think I know which team will show up on a nightly basis.

Disappointing game yesterday.

I saw the video of this on TSN, but cannot find it on the internet; from The Globe and Mail :

...

God Bless: Usual Suspects’ appeal for fewer televised anthems drew a lot of comment last week. “When would be an appropriate time to show the anthem?” asked a few readers. Allow us to present Monday night at Yankee Stadium. In the middle of the seventh, Red Sox manager Terry Francona hustled out of the dugout to argue a call with umpire Angel Campos. Just as Francona got a good spray going in Campos’ face, the PA system broke out God Bless America.

Both Francona and Campos suddenly snapped to attention, stifling the debate. By the time the last chord of GBA echoed through Yankee Stadium, Francona had lost much of his vitriol. He retreated to the dugout. End of debate. Talk about sweet music.

Nice game last night for the Tigers.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Later, Dontrelle. Thanks a bunch for those two wins. If Dombrowski hadn't given out some of the worst deals ever to Willis, Robertson, and Bonderman then maybe the Tigers could have some real starting pitching depth right now after Verlander. Or someone, anyone that could hit in the bottom third of the order. Inge, Laird and Everett are three free outs and the Tigers defense sucks anyways so that hasn't even made up for it whatsoever.

I hope Dombrowski learned his lession about giving blank checks to garbage starting pitchers. The Tigers should be winning the division every season with their payroll and they are hamstrung by a bunch of scrubs who now aren't even on the team anymore.

A: The most number of hits a team can possibly get in an inning without scoring a run.

Please make sure your answer is in the form of a question.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Losing a series to Oakland? Not cool.

[Sergei Fedorov91 24]

C'mon Armando!

[heinz57 11]

C'mon Armando!

He was ROBBED.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Jim Joyce blew that call. Holy s***. That was the worst call in baseball history. The runner was out by a step and he called him safe. Total f*** job. An NHL ref could have made that call.

[Echolalia 2,961]

Holy Jesus. Gallaraga has the gem in my book.

[Third Man In 2,091]

Jim Joyce is gonna be hung in effigy after that one. You'd wish they could overturn that, but even if they did Galarraga and the team don't get their on field celebration. But it's great to see Galarraga looking like his old self again.

[Electrophile 3,554]

That was one of the worst calls I've ever seen in the 16 years I've been watching professional baseball. Holy ******* s***. There's no way it'll be overturned, but hopefully this means the end of Joyce's career.

If I was Leyland, it would have taken the whole team to hold me back from punching that ******* in the face.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! I am still trying to figure this out! How can anyone at all call that guy safe???? Especially for the peticular situation!! JIM JOYCE MUST GO!!
