Another excellent outing by Verlander this evening. MacDawg, I feel your pain...but there's still a long way to go 'till we reach October.

 

[Mr Tony]

Twins rained out...no makeup date scheduled yet

 

[MacDawg]

Bye Bye First place .see you next decade.
Indians had been first in the Central Division for the last 69 days. They are now 2nd in the Central, following 4-0 loss to Tigers.

And to think, people were saying he wasn't any good when he was 2-3 early on.
He's now 8-3

Yeah I feel ya. But the bats are not swinging.

And to think the Indians loaded up on Lefthanders to combat JV ...

 

[MacDawg]

Indians were 30-15 a mere 22 days ago. Since then they've been shut out more times (6) than they've won (5). pretty sure thats not good.

With more InterLeague games coming up, the Tigers are possibly going to play Avilla at 3B so him and Martinez can be in the game.
Both are playing very well !

I wonder how Brandon Inge feels about this ?
He's not back yet, but very soon from what I heard tonight.

Avilla played 3B in prior years.

I LIKE this idea

WAAAAHHHH ...

Tigers have been screwed out of several games this year.

True baseball fan I see. Some things are just not always about being a fan of a team. I'm happy they won but the bigger picture is messed up.
This happens all the time in baseball. Anyway I'm done. Just expressing my thoughts on umpires in general. Thought you would have something more than waaahhh. Cute though.

Who cares what Inge thinks. Perhaps he needs to start hitting the damn ball.

He's been out for the last 2-3 weeks now ... if he hits when he gets back, fine, if not, play Kelly there, he's done an admirable job in Inge's absence.

Kind of Hope Availla does not have to play third, he is calling a good game at catcher and would hope the temporary move would not mentally change him in the batters box

 

[riffjim4069]

We're on a roll...time to keep winning.

I hope he moves to 3B for all 6 games, but I doubt that will happen ... btw, Inge is expecting to be back on Friday.

I got the Tigers game on FSN D.

Btw, JV pitched another game in under 2 1/2 hours !

 

[riffjim4069]

OK, what kind of stuff does Furbush have?

 

[riffjim4069]

Tigers had better put on their rally caps because we need a couple runs.
