Tigers-White Sox Game Thread


Thought I would throw this up in case people want to discuss

Star-divide

Quentin went deep to lead off the 2nd inning; Sox up 1-0.  Kotsay just walked as Figaro seems unnerved and has temporarily lost his control.  Ah, I need more words.  Already the Tigers are getting some guys up in the pen, as Rios just singled, men on 1st and 2nd with nobody out in the top of the 2nd inning with the Sox already in the lead.  Pile it on boys.  Is that long enough?

He does

We go into Chicago and sweep, eliminating them, and he doesn’t say anything.

Tigers go into Chicago (after White Sox are eliminated) and White Sox lose a game and Ozzie goes off.

Figaro isn't going to last long

and he won’t last any longer. Quick hook. Long game for the bullpen of the Tigers tonight.

2-0

Could have been 2 without the bobble by Polanco.

And Leyland already going to the lefty specialist for 1 batter in the 2nd inning.

by Eric in Madison on Oct 3, 2009 7:50 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Never seen a LOOGY in the 2nd inning... incredible...

Glad Figaro’s gone… I like the opera character and didn’t want to be conflicted rooting against him.

I will say...

the atmosphere at the Dome today was unreal. Everyone around us was saying they wanted to stay and watch the Tigers/Sox game there.

Too awesome.

On December 8, 2005, A.J. Pierzynski appeared on TNA iMPACT!, a professional wrestling television program aired by the professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Accompanied by White Sox strength trainer Dale Torborg, Pierzynski presented TNA wrestlers A.J. Styles, Chris Sabin and Sonjay Dutt with memorabilia from the 2005 World Series. At the ceremony, an incident was staged to include Pierzynski in a controversy with the wrestlers. Pierzynski then made his professional wrestling managerial debut at TNA Turning Point 2005 on December 11, 2005, accompanying Torborg, Sabin and Dutt to ringside for their match against the Diamonds in the Rough.

On October 10, 2006, Pierzynski appeared on ESPN2’s Cold Pizza, wearing the X-Division Championship belt, and challenged WWE Champion John Cena, who was also a guest that morning, to a Title vs. Title steel cage match whenever Cena wanted to have it. Cena responded asking if Pierzynski got his championship belt out of a gumball machine outside.

On the September 7, 2009 of WWE Monday Night Raw in which Bob Barker hosted, Pierzynski appeared as a contestant in “The Price is Raw” (a parody of The Price is Right, originally hosted by Barker), losing to Santino Marella.

I’m glad the Vikings play on Monday so I don’t have to deal with flipping between both games.

I like the first one best

but the 2nd two would be alright, too. The last one sucks and is depressing, not even considering that.

We only tied the Tigers because Morneau is injured

that’s because he can barely hit better than Punto for goodness sake!

you're right

but Tol-bear beats them all anyway. Tol-bear for MVP!

Punto, Tolbert, and Cabrera

Gardy’s Angels!

They deserve a co-award for MVP

Sort of off-topic

but in the 9th, Gomez came in to CF, Span moved to right, and Kubes was out. I was SO happy to see GoGo in, and then disappointed to know that he probably won’t play tomorrow either.

Get rid of Delmon.

Yeah, I know, he’s been decent these past couple weeks. But…let us not forget the rest of the season.

or to put it another way with Mijares

Don’t forget he was the Hamburglar all season just because he’s become Mayor McCheese the last few games

haha, your analogies (right word? probably not. English major fail.) are great.

Mayor McCheese sucks. He needs to go home.

congrats

I’m a Tigers fan, and seeing the way things are going I doubt we’re going to make it. I just wish we knew how not to crumble under pressure. I hope you guys will go far in the postseason

by Corbmobile on Oct 3, 2009 10:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Even if you guys were to commit the physically impossible act of making the playoffs

I’d root for you guys to kick the shit out of the Yankees. And the Red Sox.

by JTW on Oct 3, 2009 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

eh, I'd hope they beat the Yankees

but then it’s Angels time! :)

I hope the Angels make it in the AL as well

No real reason why, I have no reason to not like the Angels and dislike the Yanks and Sawx far, far more

by JTW on Oct 3, 2009 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

good reasons: Adenhart and Hunter.

at least, those are mainly mine.

"Baseball doesn't owe me a thing. I owe my whole life to baseball." -Kirby Puckett

by fischean on Oct 3, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

those are my reasons too

I think I would have trouble deciding between the Angels and Tigers though. I like that the Tigers would be representing our division and I think a win for Detroit would make a nice story during the recession

by what_would_gil_thorp_do on Oct 3, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, the division banding together and all that.

buuuuuut, then I think back to the last game we played in D-Town and suddenly, I’m a-ok with the Angels taking it all. :)

uh,

what’s with all of the Montana Bashing? You kept mentioning me in the same sentence as nate, but I’ve never jinxed anybody. And I’ve never jumped off the train. Been skeptical, pessimistic, and cynical all along, but never given up.

you were only a couple hours late. :(

A little over dramatic Montana

You did post that Detroit “I’m an Anteater” rally pic. It was all meant in good humor anyway.

To your credit, you have been here all season, including the dark days of July/August. You’re not a bandwagon jumper.

Please note the time I posted that. 11:23 PM, last night, the game was 2 hours old by then?

Yes, I failed to use the sarcastic font, but I was being sarcastically miffed.

p.s., but thank you for the dunce cap boob signs…they are my favorite (no sarcasm font)
