2011 AL Central Thread

Well some of your thoughts on this team would fall Under the slappy urban defininition I guess but I was not literally calling you names. Stop being so sensitive.

Well the only time you show up is when you have something to bitch to be about and they are always directed at my enjoyment of a team.

STOP IT.
 
I believe you brought me into it. I've been avoiding the temptation to comment for some time now. You brought me into this one. I'm pretty much the only tiger fan here you've disagreed with on a regular basis. So I know that was a dig at me. You invited me. I'm done though mr. Sensative.



"I really like Guillen coming back, playing a very solid 2B AND hitting.
Someone here chided me when I mentioned that I thought that Guillen would do well back at 2B if he got back."

I said "Someone" because I didn't remember who it was ... but thanks for reminding me.
You really remind me of some of the sec fans we have here.
 
Well, we let another one get away. The last two losses against the Red Hot Red Sox were by 1 measly run. The bullpen gave it away two nights in a row! Ugh! What used to be a strength is now going through a rough patch!

Crap! What's more likely...Penny beating the Rangers pitching ace Ogando or his ERA climbing above 5. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst tomorrow afternoon.

Well this lineup today is unbelievable. Layland must hate penny.
 
Tigers seemed like they settled for taking 2-of-3 from the Rangers this afternoon. Two things that are more obvious than ever to me: 1) can't let Penny pitch the remainder of the season - not ever, and not one pitch. 2) Coke needs to join Penny on the bench. In fact, since they're both not pitching they can earn their keep by clearning the locker rooms while the Tigers are on the field trying to win.

Hey, can anyone name two things that can turn Rayburn into a .300 hitter? You guessed it...Penny and Coke! Rayburn would be another Wade Freakin' Boggs if he faced these two jokers for a living. El Stinko PennyCoko!
 
Oddd....

Tigers pitchers struck out a total of 3 Rangers in the 3 game series ....
3 thats it.

That said, Verlander did not pitch in this series.

On a positive, the Tigers took 2 of 3 from the Rangers. .... somehow.

Tigers open up a 9 game road trip tomorrow ...
KC, Cleveland and Baltimore
6-3 would be GREAT
5-4 Good and
4-5 unacceptable

Likely KC will play them tough, as always and Cleveland should be a fun series.
 
White Sox must have figured the season ended on August 1st. Get to .500 and you're done. I wish this slide would have happened a week or so earlier so they could have just been sellers at the trade deadline. Sucks that a team that is a good pitching and fielding team can't hit.

I know the feeling. :)
 
.500 has to suffice as goal for the Twins now. Maybe they can start by taking care of the White Sox this weekend.

Watching Thome close on 600 is pretty cool.
 
Tigers Ric Porcello pitched a Great game tonight... left in the 7th with a 3-1 lead ...
The Bullpen has blown it so far, now tied at 3 ....

Yep, good old Phil Coke manages to screw the team coming and going. I sound like a broken record....Penny, Coke....Penny, Coke....Penny, Coke. Ugh! Well, hopefully we can get another run or two in the late innings. :)
 

For those that are having baseball withdrawls...
