Tigers @ Royals 08/30 going for the sweep!

[mr. tegu]

Let's do this.

[stonedstooge]

Get these bitches

[mr. tegu]

Guthrie gave up a few hits but strikes out two and no runs.

[stonedstooge]

Come on Butler, you're due

[mr. tegu]

Billy needs to swing at the first pitch more. It's usually the only decent one he gets but he just let's it go right by.

[stonedstooge]

LoCain, running all around my brain

[Nightfyre]

Holy shit moose to hoz.

[lewdog]

It is my fucking birthday. Lets get this sweep!

[stonedstooge]

Happy bday lewdog

[lewdog]

Happy bday Lewd

Thanks man. Since it is my birthday, and I am cursed, sorry to say we probably won't win.

[stonedstooge]

Royals/Chiefs fans are all cursed

[Canofbier]

Holy shit moose to hoz.

Yeah, that play was absolutely bananas. I was talking on the phone when it happened and I had a hard time staying silent. :D Those defensive stats that they showed for Moustakas are very impressive. Do you think he's in the running for a gold glove?

[Nightfyre]

Happy bday LD

[Nightfyre]

MooooooosTACOS

[stonedstooge]

At least move him to 3rd Frenchy

[stonedstooge]

Well I'll be. Ends an 0-19 streak

[mr. tegu]

So are people all finally accepting that picking up Guthrie was genius?

His stats in Baltimore weren't too bad as it was, but you have to remember he was playing against the AL East (for the wrong team).

I have trouble associating the word genius with Dayton Moore

I need to see consistency before I could accept that it was a good idea.

[mr. tegu]

Yeah perhaps that was a bit over the top :) still a good move to identify a guy who just needed a better situation.

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Go Johnny Go Go with the RBI

[Canofbier]

GiAAAvotella knocks one in!

[TLO]

Score update?

[lewdog]

One to nothin'!

[mr. tegu]

Seriously? We gave up NOTHING for him. We dumped Sanchez for Guthrie who has pitched some really good games. Outside of Boston his last six have been good to great outings.

Basically, we gave up Melky for Guthrie and Verdugo. Looking like a great trade at this point.

I'd forgotten that Verdugo was a part of all that.

That's a good way to look at it.

[Nightfyre]

Frenchy is fucking AWFUL.

[mr. tegu]

Oh Frenchy...

[Canofbier]

Nice job, Frenchy.

[mr. tegu]

Does anyone in the league have less speed at 3-4-5 than the Tigers?

[stonedstooge]

Cain sure throws funny

[Nightfyre]

Fielder is laughing at LoCain for getting all lined up and gunning that ball to third.

[Nightfyre]

Gordon scrapes the top of the wall!

[-King-]

Gordo!

Gordon with the dinger!

Billy chugs in for a double

[Canofbier]

Alex is having a fabulous second half.

[mr. tegu]

Billy to Perez: "no RBI for you!"

[Nightfyre]

Billy to Perez: "no RBI for you!"

Eddie to Perez: No RBI for you. I'd have to see it again, but I bet even Butler could have scored there.

[-King-]

He could have.

Eh. You can't blame him for not wanting to get Billy out at home with no outs.

Now Billy got some really bad luck on that passed ball.

[Canofbier]

...that's why you hold Billy at third.

[stonedstooge]

Leland getting stupid again

[Nightfyre]

Whats with IBB'ing Frenchy? Just throw pitches in the dirt and finish with a fastball over the plate. He'll strikeout.

[mr. tegu]

LMAO at teams walking Frenchy intentionally.

[Dartgod]

IBB for Francouer? ROFL

[Canofbier]

Frenchy is almost as confused as I am.

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

It's says sad things about Hosmer when they'll walk Frenchy to get to him.

[Nightfyre]

It says that he's left-handed?

Dumb post.

[mr. tegu]

It's says sad things about Hosmer when they'll walk Frenchy to get to him.

He is batting .282 in August and .302 on the season with 2 outs and RISP. Its bad managing, not an indictment on Hos.

[Canofbier]

That HR by Gordon may be very important, depending on whether or not we can negate Perez's error.

[-King-]

Guthrie should get a CG the way hes pitching.

[Nightfyre]

I think I'd bring in Collins for Fielder next inning.

[Nightfyre]

No shit guys - giving up more runs results in a worse record. Thanks FOX. I could never have figured that shit out.

[stonedstooge]

Damn Guthrie, another fine outing

[Canofbier]

It's good to see Guthrie rebound nicely from his last game. I was worried that giving up so many runs would destroy the confidence he'd built, but if this game is any indication, then he's not as fragile as I had thought he may be.

[Nightfyre]

Two batters too late - thanks Ned. But great outing by Guthrie just the same.

[lewdog]

Huge strikeout there...Nice work Timmy.

[Nightfyre]

Collins must have some confidence that he could smoke Baker there. Haha.

[Al Bundy]

Collins in. Nice fat pitch down the middle giving the Tigers life.

[Canofbier]

C'mon, Crow! I don't want to see Guthrie lose the win. He's earned it.

[stonedstooge]

Still holdin on

[Canofbier]

Good. Maybe we can get an insurance run here.

[mr. tegu]

"Come on Perez, you the man!"

Nice!

[stonedstooge]

Herrera for the save

[petegz28]

Why is Holland not out there?

[stonedstooge]

LoCain with a Dysonlike catch in center. w00t

[-King-]

Holy shit CAIN.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Canofbier]

Hot damn Cain! How about our CF defense in the 9th inning these last couple games?

[chefsos]

Mr. Herrera owes Cain a nice steak dinner or something.

[Canofbier]

Frenchy can't keep up with the blacks.

[-King-]

Wow :)

FUCKINGA. Sweet win for lewdog

[mr. tegu]

Wu Tang Clan ain't nuttin' to fuq wit

[petegz28]

ESCOBAR IS A FUCKING STUD!

[-King-]

Good win.

[Al Bundy]

lol Fuck you Dirks

[mr. tegu]

Why is Holland not out there?

Pitched past two games.

[Nightfyre]

Defense picks up the bullpen. What a great game!

[chefsos]

Niiiiice.

[Canofbier]

OMG WTF. Escobar says "fuck you" to the laws of baseball.

[cabletech94]

ballgame, champs!!!!


screw you tigers!!!! screw you in your effing ear!!!!

WOOOT!!!

[petegz28]

Pitched past two games.

Big fucking deal!

[Nightfyre]

12 games below .500 and 13 GB from division and wildcard - can we make a run?!

[stonedstooge]

Need lots of teams to tank, but anythings possible in this game

[cabletech94]

our mother truckin time.

[Nightfyre]

We need to go 22-10 in the remainder of the season to hit .500

[mr. tegu]

Our best August since 2000.

[stonedstooge]

Hope the Twinks don't come in and do to us what they usually do to us at home

[Nightfyre]

So we square off against the Twins while CWS and DET square off for the next series.

[BWillie]

12 games below .500 and 13 GB from division and wildcard - can we make a run?!

No.

[mr. tegu]

Hope the Twinks don't come in and do to us what they usually do to us at home

If we didn't have to play Minnesota and Seattle we would be in first place. We just played the last 7 of 8 series against current playoff teams and went 14-8.

[Nightfyre]

We play:

vs. Twins (3)
vs. Rangers (4)
@ White Sux (3)
@ Twins (3)
vs. Angels (3)
vs. White Sux (3)
vs. Indians (3)
@ Tigers (4)
@ Indians (3)
vs. Tigers (3)


We have a good chance to make up some room in the division if nothing else.

[Paniero]

I buy donuts for my team when a sweep goes down, and my squad leader is a Tigers fan. Might have to get him a footlong so he can take it like Detroit hitters did the last two games.

[mr. tegu]

The division will be ours!

[Saul Good]

Should we bitch about the way Yost handles the bullpen after sweeping the series by winning every game by a single run, or does he get a pass?

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Good to get the sweep, but I have a feeling we will still lose 2 out of 3 to the Twins.. Like we always do.

[mr. tegu]

Don't say factual statements as if they are insults! :cuss:
