Tigers lose to Rays in 11 ... 8-7

White Sox better hope that it's not Galarraga's turn to pitch.

Have not heard who will pitch yet.
Game should also be on FSN Detroit and it will be on my XM radio as well.

For some reason I cannot get on to the Tigers web page to check on pitching schedule for tomorrow.

Jimbo

It's Freddy Garcia vs. Gavin Floyd tomorrow.

 

[SabresRule]

Mets82, cwjct, I am SO, SO SORRY for you guys.

 

[Jimbo]

Mets82 there were relievers who were better than we had. OH WELL LET'S ALL WELCOME OUR NEW CLOSER IN 4 WEEKS . . . K ROD AND HIS NEW GABILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT . . . hate to sign a closer in contract year, but no choice!

So you think that the Mets will sign K- Rod ...
Good luck with that .

From what I've read here, he's not the closer he thinks he is, very up and down, hell we had that with Todd Jones he's available

Jimbo

 

[B_Kranski]

Wow, Milwaukee is in Bill

 

[BillD1984]

Mets82, Craig, Visitor, and any other Mets fans out there..........I'm very sorry about this, I've been there and I know how you feel.

 

[Jimbo]

It's Freddy Garcia vs. Gavin Floyd tomorrow.

So the Tigers apperantley don't care as they are pitching a guy that they just picked up off the OUT OF WORK line.

I sure hope he pitches well .

I could not agree more. Omar better go to his house and sign him. I don't know if Wagner would've made a difference. He was very shaky. This so depressing.

 

[SabresRule]

Mets fans everywhere, I feel your pain.

I'm a Bills fan, so I know what heartbreak is like.

 

[Mariah2014]

This game means really nothing. I have no doubt we will be seing Twins at White Sox on Tuesday

[Mets82]

This is bad. Didn't get a lot of offense but if there is a bright side, there's this. See if you agree with me.

We played for a playoff spot on the final game of the season. That's after we lost our closer (Wagner), left fielder (Alou), our early MVP (Church), two of our starters (Pedro and Maine), and our second baseman (Castillo).
I mean it's NO CONSOLATION FOR NOT MAKING A PLAYOFF SPOT but it's the only thing I could think of.

For Visitor, Craig, and myself, this is tough. Actually, it's not but we are used it by now. What else is there to say?

 

[SabresRule]

Shea's farewell is a far, far cry from Yankee Stadium's farewell last week.

 

[Mets82]

BTW, what happened with the Twins/White Sox scenerio today. I've been busy, for what I have no idea.

 

[Jimbo]

Did Sheff get #500?

No,
1-5 no homer

Jimbo

 

[Mets82]

One more thing, think about this. If we had blown half of what they did this year, we would be in good shape. All we needed is two lousy games. Two.

I hope we don't end with the Marlins next year.

 

[BillD1984]

Twins win, so............................

UPDATED AL CENTRAL STANDINGS

Minnesota........................88-74.....................-
Chicago........................... 87-74....................0.5



MONDAY'S GAME

Detroit (Freddy Garcia) at Chicago (Gavin Floyd)

 

[BillD1984]

No,
1-5 no homer

Jimbo

He gets another shot tomorrow.

 

[Jimbo]

He gets another shot tomorrow.

Good point ...
But a walk off HR for his 500th today would have been awesome.

Jimbo

 

[BillD1984]

What the fudge is Francona thinking having Papelbon out on the mound... IN A DOWNPOUR......IN A MEANINGLESS GAME......AND THE RED SOX ARE BEHIND?????!!!!!

 

[Mets82]

Being that the Milwaukee Brewers won the Wild card, there are no "Happy Days" for the Mets.

Maybe this is the Cubs year. Good for them if they win it all.

 

[mccoyrj]

Tough loss for Mets fans. There will be other days.

Now enough of that...Congratulations to the Brewers and their fans. Hard fought and well deserved. Miller Park was rocking today and some of the nicest fans in baseball were having a blast! Good luck in the playoffs! :up
