Detroit Tigers (4x World Series Champions)

[Tonyank]

WOoooHoooooo watched this one from the local bar Willis went down and so did my hopes. Lopez pitch well. Bats were there tonight.

Best of all my buddy cop from chicago cant stop giving me shit for 1 night :)


Clete Thomas is a STUD!!!! Inge changed his approach at the plate and it has done wonders


No need for a new thread just yet peeps


GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS: I love Jager Bombs

Almost scored a run today, but not quite. Offense is so irratic it is hard to believe. Verlander was left to die out there because the bullpen is so fucked up. He is now 0-2 with an ERA around 7, not good. Can't wait until the weather warms up so the bats come alive, none of the guys look to have any life at the plate (except Thomas and Inge).

 

[Tonyank]

ugh, I'll blame the cold weather.

 

[The Man]

Pretty horrible game today 11-0? 4 shutouts already, that is more than last year in 150 less games. Panic time yet? We are getting close to it.......

 

[Tonyank]

if we get to 20 L's before we get to 10-12 wins. I'm hitting the panic button.

Was looking at some team stats for MLB this morning.

WOW!!! I didn't realize just how BAD these guys have been playing

• .167 Win % (worst in MLB)
• .235 BA (2nd worst in MLB)
• .335 SLG % (worst in MLB)
• .657 OPS (worst in MLB)
• 33 Runs Scored (worst in MLB)
• 134 Total Bases (worst in MLB)
• 30 RBI (worst in MLB)
• 5.94 ERA (worst in MLB)
• 1 Quality Start (worst in MLB)
• 70 Earned runs allowed (worst in MLB)
• 78 Total runs allowed (worst in MLB)
• 62 Walks handed out (tied worst in MLB)

I don't normally follow Detroit, so can anyone give me an idea of what the hell happened?

There's a dude (affectionately known here on BP as "Dick Wad") that done took over another team in the county next door.

The stink is apparently unbearable... :p

Curtis Granderson went down with a hand injury, so his 84 extra base hits, .361 on base percentage, .552 slugging percentage, 26 stolen bases, and 122 runs scored all from the lead off spot are sitting on the bench watching the game.

The Tigers can't get him back soon enough.

Isn't it time to start a "2009 Detroit Tigers Official Thread" ?

Already tried that (at Hawg's suggestion)...

 

[Tonyank]

Its a bunch of warm-blooded babies that dont like cold weather. :)

 

[The Man]

It worked the first time so I will go ahead and guarantee a Detroit victory again tonight. After the ass-chewing it sounds like Leyland gave them yesterday I expect an inspired team. Bonderman has been the only starter pitching decent and he is on the mound tonight. Tigers get win #3.

Die Bobby Seay, just DIE!!!!!

 

[The Man]

Die Bobby Seay, just DIE!!!!!

it isn't even Bobby Seay, it is everyone they run out there. One night it is Bobby Seay another it is Miner, Grilli, Bautista, etc. The bullpen is even worse than I feared it would be. I really can't stand to watch them right now, I guess I am a masochist.
