Boom Miggy, 2nd Deck HR.
2-0 not the twins.

 

[gotime909]

440 ft homer from miggy. Where the hell did that come from lol

 

[lonesometiger]

He got the 4th best batting average and sits most of the time. And they seldom use him as a pinch hitter.

 

[lonesometiger]

Get the bull pen up

 

[coulomb]

Fn Cisnero.. Weakest guy in the pen.

 

[coulomb]

Abismal..gnite

 

[lonesometiger]

Fail pen showed up today.

 

[lonesometiger]

Fn Cisnero.. Weakest guy in the pen.

no wonder they could not trade him

 

[lonesometiger]

The 0.43 down to 0.42, makes the .220+ guys look good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Figures the tigers would blow a game in which miggy hits a 438 homer.
Tying Gary Sheffield for 26th all time.

Listening on the radio till now.

So many tiger gaffs.

Vierling fails to tag cost the tigers a run.
Hasse and Vierling can?t catch a easy pop out. Not sure who?s fault or was I was
In a facility getting stuff. Haase always has issues in Minnesota.
Tiger pitchers just can?t get guys out with two strikes tonight sadly.
Tigers can?t get a hit with the bases loaded. That is typical.
Glad Vest is back lol. Guess he can?t find his early season form.

Shame because Faedo pitched great through five. Wish he could go longer.
White doesn?t pay attention to the runners.

 

[biggunsbob]

Had to sweep to have a shot. Now the season is over lol. This team has so many holes.

 

[lonesometiger]

White = surrender

 

[biggunsbob]

What a pick by Diaz and Spencer at first. Damnit or wish we still had the lead.

Terrible throw by Mckinstry. Damn what a pick a first.

 

[biggunsbob]

I so wanted to win this game. This could be Miggy?s last homer. I had just turned the radio on. And heard it. It sounded great on the radio.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It's not over yet.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Had to sweep to have a shot. Now the season is over lol. This team has so many holes.

They were out of the playoffs well before today. Can't even catch Cleveland.

 

[biggunsbob]

They were out of the playoffs well before today. Can't even catch Cleveland.

[lonesometiger]

but the Lady a toning up.
