The Tiger's Sphincter
 

Been in first place since May 10...Had a 7 game lead 2 1/2 weeks ago. Now? Shut out by Peavy again tonight and Minnesota at home against KC about to close to within 1. They better beat Garcia tomorrow, otherwise it's Danks vs Verlander Sunday.

Thought Garcia was going home, and gunna retire. He's trying to hang around a lil longer? Both the batters n' the opposing pitcher will want that game badly.

Should be interesting. I beleive Greinke (sp?) starts for the Royals today so that's not going to be easy.

You guys have Podsednik again? Why? Video of the game looks like it's at about 80% speed, but that's just the way Garcia does it now. So far, he's getting it done though.

Caught them. Grippin' severe.

Kershaw started well. Would help if they support him for at least 1 game.

He knows how to pitch, that's for sure. If Sox don't get Halladay, he's the #5 next year in a very good rotation

There is no way for me to convey how completely disgusted I am with this situation. What a total effin mess. :mad:

I feel for ya' man..Even though I'm a Sox fan, this would be tough to watch. I don't know how the Twins do it every year, but they do somehow.

Well..you know Verlander will show up today. If it goes to Tuesday, who is pitching for you guys?

I'm afraid to call my Mom today. She's the world's biggest Tigers fan and has to be on suicide watch.

You seen his numbers Scuds...Comeback player of the year

The Tigers have been very Metslike this year

It's an absolute disgrace. I'll just tell ya about something that happened a long time ago though. Maybe it will give you hope. In '80, the Dodgers trailed the Astros by the 3 games going into a final weekend series at Dodger Stadium. Dodgers won all 3. I was thrilled, and somehow got tickets for the 1 game playoff at Dodger Stadium on Monday. Had seats right behind the Astros' wives. All day those women were celebrating in front of me. That's my biggest low as a Dodger fan. We were all pssd the Dodgers didn't try using this Valenzuela kid that was looking pretty good in limited appearances. Anyways, after the game, I can't remember why, but for some reason we all went out on the field. On the warning track, they cornered a guy wearing an old-style Astros jersey, and beat on him some. After '74,77, and 78, that day in '80 was a pretty bad day. '81 was a big relief. I can't imagine what it'd be like to be a Cubs fan. I really can't.

Tuesday will be Porcello vs Baker. Nothing like having your playoff hopes on a 20 year old rookie. Porcello has been nails all season long though.

Go Tigers!!

I am totally with you guys. Let them blow up that dump of a dome after a loss. Good Luck

:tro: :D

It gets better and better by the day. WTF?!

Go twins! Give them some love. Tigers are a bunch of chokers and cabera is out getting drunk with who knows whom and comes home and gets in a fight with the wife. Gotta love it. Tigers don't deserve it and really does it matter the winner get the yankees! Be crazy to see twins play yankees in the dome! Go twins oh and tiger fans please don't burn down detroit tomorrow night!:) :)

Its better being a mets fan, we did it twice.

Porcello has been great but looks a little tired. Hung that changeup.

Good thing for the Tigers to have overpaid for their "slot" to draft Porcello.

Hope they arent going to try to get through the 7th inning with Minor. He is shaky.

How is this game not on TV? (and if it is, what channel is it).

TBS, for all playoff games

da twins are certainly game

WOW, talk about clutch. Didnt the White Sox used to have Cabrera

Twins take a 4-3 lead.... Orlando C 2 run HR in the bottom of the 7th.
As a Yankee fan, I hope the Twins win this.

yeah and the Red Sox and Angels and Expos and A's...

He always has been a good player

As a mets fan, I dont give a darn. But I dont want them to be the only choking team in the majors

As a non-Yankee fan learning you are a Yankee fan I will take even more pleasure at their elimination

I cant believe he didnt have a better option than Minor for the 7th inning. Especially after he looked shaky getting the final out in the 6th

thanx

Anytime brotha

O Darn

Wow....Tiger Socialist got all of that. Nice game.

WOW, i wouldnt want to be the yankees, both of these teams can give them a run for thier money

Helluva game. I love postseason baseball.

How miserable is it gonna be for the Twins to be playing outside in April next year?

:tro: :tro:
