AL Central 2010

[Jimbo]

With Laird and Everett hitting behind him there is no reason to serve up anything hittable to Inge. I'm betting his numbers would be better if he was hitting 5th or 6th.

Right now it doesn't matter. It seems like Cabrera is the only one hitting right now. Everybody they have faced in the last week or so looks like they should be on the All-Star team. I hope they snap out of this soon. I usually don't see this kind of hitting until September.

Welcome back Paul,
Where ya been hiding ?

Don't look now but Galarraga has pitched seven (7) perfect innings so far. Stay tuned...OK, you can look.

 

[riffjim4069]

Galarraga has now retired 24 in-a-row...with the added pressure of having only a 1-0 lead.

Nice to see him pitching well, a few more runs would be nice

 

[satjay]

Tigers lose again

3-2 to Indians...thanks to MLB Net I got to see the 9th inning

On MLB Net right now is the Tiger game (no hitter in progress right now through seven )

 

[satjay]

Nice, those runs are important.

 

[satjay]

Well ninth inning, Galaraga going back on the mound, lets see if he can get the no-no

 

[satjay]

I am sorry What a CATCH, CATCH OF THE YEAR!!!!!

 

[satjay]

He was out....Umpire missed it, he was robbed

 

[SabresRule]

Blown call by the umpire- BIG TIME

 

[riffjim4069]

What a catch is right...of course, with 1-out left the 1st base ump just made a bad call and cost Galarraga a perfect game. The ump should be fined and suspended after that call.

 

[SabresRule]

That was a horribly bad call by the umpire.

Even Indian fans would have to admit that.

 

[satjay]

Yes, went from the catch of the year for the first out to the blown call of the year. Galaraga was robbed

 

[TomCat4680]

KILL THE UMP!!!!! HE WAS ROBBED!!!!

To be fair, the ump also blew a much closer call in which he ruled Damon was safe. That would have been the 3rd out but instead the Tigers scored 2-runs in the inning. The Damon call was very close (less than a foot), but Galarraga clearly beat the runner to the bag by 1/2 step. Again, I hope this ump is fined at least a day of pay because he surely didn't earn it.

 

[satjay]

Horrible call, intresting seeing the players get after the ump after the game.

 

[BillD1984]

Even Red Sox announcers Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy are ranting about the BS call in Detroit!! :rant:

Remy went as far to say, THAT PLAY could be the start of instant replay (not counting fair/foul homers).

What a shame that a FRIGGIN' UMPIRE denied history!

 

[TomCat4680]

There's going to be riots in Detroit tonight. I wonder how many death threats that ump will get.

 

[riffjim4069]

Horrible call, intresting seeing the players get after the ump after the game.

Even more amazing was the collective look on the Cleveland player's faces behind the first base dugout...they couldn't believe it.

 

[TomCat4680]

I have a Galarraga autographed picture. I was going to put it on ebay, starting bid $1,000,000.
