Weird seeing the Cards so bad. Need to take advantage of that.

Byco?s game threads are better than TigerMud?s.

That?s because byco posts the official starting lineups, and other prescient info, such as, for example, the chance of precipitation.

Tonight it?s only 1%.

Had I been in St. Louis and had been intending to attend the game, I would have had zero hesitation to head to the ballpark for fear of a rain delay or postponement.

Dang, the Baltimore Orioles are to the Tampa Bay Rays this season as the 1984 Toronto Blue Jays were to the Tigers that season.

Spencer just can?t buy a hit. I don?t understand his batting stance. That bat is like right on his shoulders. Then he brings it up as the pitcher gets ready to throw.

What happened batting stances like Kaline and Cash and Willie Horton. I just don?t get it.
He is approaching bust territory if he doesn?t get it going.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dang it Boyd. Bad pitch. Freaking #9 hitter goes yard.

 

[biggunsbob]

JS bat isn?t close to what he was 2 years ago. Man talk about having nothing in a swing.

 

[biggunsbob]

Boyd caving in. Lead off freaking double. Shame we couldn?t get any tack on runs..

 

[biggunsbob]

Ibanez with a clown show in right field. (Should been caught) That?s what you get yapping about the damn defense (Tigers broadcast )
First start in right field. He played that ball awful. Runners in 2nd and 3rd no outs.

Boyd with a awful pitch 0-2. Just ridiculous he had a guy chasing and not seeing the ball good and he freaking lets him get a easy ground out to ss. He wasn?t close on the first 2 pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wtf is JS doing throwing home. Just dumb. Cost a out. Now 3-2 Cardinals. Terrible defense this half inning. Hopefully it doesn?t cost any more runs.

Tigers 5th

Rogers lead off double.
Vierling k?s. (Not even close) fails advance runner to 3rd.
IBanez sigh 6-3 runner advances to 3rd.
Baez. BB. Four pitch walk. Pitching around him.
Haase K?s on a called strike and tigers leave 2 more runners stranded.

 

[biggunsbob]

Bounce back inning for Boyd.

Spencer easy can of corn to cf.
JS. Soft ground out to 2nd
Miggy lazy fly out on 1st pitch to cf.

F-ing three terrible at bats by players who are not very good at all and all 3 are taking up roster spots.

 

[biggunsbob]

These umps are just bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

And so is Maton

 

[biggunsbob]

Greene Comes through ! 2 run double !

What a dumb 0-2 pitch

 

[biggunsbob]

Spencer Rbi Double ! Yes he needed that ! Great short swing. 2 out Rbi ! 5-3

JS can?t get ball out of the infield.

 

[coulomb]

This team needs Tork to hit.

Tork hits!
