[irishock]

Have a nice day

TBH I didn't expect us to beat the Giants. We take the Cardinals series in less than 6 games, but the Giants were the team I was afraid of from the start.

Today is a new day, folks. We are head to head favorites with the Angels to win the AL and the World Series, while SF won't win the division, tbh.

[symple19]

nice contribution symple

Detroit needs one tbh ! it would be great for the city

Detroit needs one tbh ! it would be great for the city

Chicago needs one more though. 100+ years of misery is enough punishment. :lol

[symple19]

Frankly, I wouldn't be upset at all if Detroit won a 'ship... Other than the fact that Irishock would be insufferable for a year or so

No disagreement from me that the Tigers are a favorite.

[symple19]

while SF won't win the division, tbh.

Possibly. The Dodgers are better on paper, but then again, so were the Tigers :lol

They're the favorites that always come short. (For the last couple of years at least)

[Brazil]

Chicago needs one more though. 100+ years of misery is enough punishment. :lol

Chicago habitants are blessed to have a great city not the case of Detroiters tbh

[Reck]

Tigers give Justin an extension worth 180mils for 7 years. Neat

He immediately took to twitter and started guaranteeing world series championships. smh

[Pelicans78]

:lol Tigers

[irishock]

Oh shit Benoit

[irishock]

Looks like Phil Coke's our closer this year. The guy was horrible the entire regular season until the playoffs when he took over

[AussieFanKurt]

Lol coke. Dud

[td4mvp2k]

:lol u should sign Jones back

[irishock]

:lol we got Valverde

[Flintstones32]

bullpen still suspect. starting pitching hasn't been too bad. Cabrera won't win the HR title this year but he sure is seeing the ball well. A 3rd straight batting title is definitely possible. Figured a 6-1 start up to this point so 4-3 is a little disappointing but they'll be fine.

[td4mvp2k]

:lol @ KC in 1st

[irishock]

:lol depending on Phil Coke

[irishock]

:lol he delivers

[irishock]

.500


Not worried tbh, this team always peaks in September-October

[TheMACHINE]

lol coke.

[symple19]

getting swept in October is not how most would define "peaking"

[irishock]

getting swept in October is not how most would define "peaking"

Tigs had zero business making it to the WS based on how they played up until September.

Would you rather be the 2011 Boston Red Sox, peaking in July?

[irishock]

Anibal worth the money tbh

[irishock]

18-11 probably the start I expected after around 30 games. We'll go like 22-8 in our final 30 anyways.

[irishock]

:lol Astros

[irishock]

Jimmy Leyland's decision pitful as always. When can this guy retire smfh

[Viva Las Espuelas]

:lol old white managers

[irishock]

Holy fuck Miguel going for the triple crown again

[irishock]

this team hits only when they're up, never when they're down tbh.

[Pelicans78]

this team hits only when they're up, never when they're down tbh.

Big series tomorrow for the Royals. They've won 5 in a row and have the Tigers coming in for 3. Only a game out of 2nd place.

[irishock]

probably a split for the first two games... Fister loses one and Sanchez takes one.. then for game 3 I have no idea if Justin will be the Justin of old or the 2012 World Series Justin

[Pelicans78]

probably a split for the first two games... Fister loses one and Sanchez takes one.. then for game 3 I have no idea if Justin will be the Justin of old or the 2012 World Series Justin

I could see a sweep for the Tigers with how sucky the Royals offense has been this season. Royals need to win one at least.

[Pelicans78]

Thank goodness for Valverde. What a comeback today. Big blast by LoCain to tie it in the 9th. Won 2 out of 3!

[irishock]

:lol

[Pelicans78]

:lol

Why is dancing fat ass still the closer?

[irishock]

Why is dancing fat ass still the closer?

:cry loyal Jim

[Reck]

You guys need to look for a new closer. Vv blows in clutch.

[Pelicans78]

Why do they keep winning? How are the Royals supposed to make up ground?

[Reck]

Not gonna complain here. :lol

Thanks Tigers.

[irishock]

WTF verlander

[irishock]

:lol Benoit our closer...

[irishock]

Uehara killing the heart of the order lol

again this team never hits when they're down by just 1 or 2.

[Reck]

LOL Red Sox

[irishock]

Jhonny rocket!! :lol great year for him so far

[irishock]

VMart's season could turn around completely with that blast...

[irishock]

:lol caught a break there... nava caught that shit

[TheMACHINE]

lol 14 runs

[irishock]

Rick P:lolrcell:lol

[TheMACHINE]

[irishock]

Angels haven't seen any of our big 4 (JV, Max, Sanchez, Fist) yet, tbh.

[TheMACHINE]

Just saw Fist. ;)

and we saw Sanchez on April 19. :toast


lol Tigers...lost 9 straight against the Angels.

lol Angels gonna get swept by Astro's next.

:lmao

[irishock]

Fist was Fist tonight... tigers batters just fucking embarrassing tbh

[irishock]

Cabreraed!!! :lol

[irishock]

[irishock]

Fernando Rodney :lol

[TheMACHINE]

[lefty]

Blue Jays tapping dat ass

[irishock]

Indians will quickly collapse after the AS break as usual... I'm just hoping our pitchers find their stride in time for the playoffs

[TheMACHINE]

Dont worry..the angels will help u out by sweeping the team thats chasing u again.

[irishock]

when most needed, the are bats coming alive on the road just like past 2 years

[Blizzardwizard]

11-4 loss



To the White Sox :lol :lmao

[irishock]

:lol

[irishock]

Holland raping

[irishock]

Oh well... time for Verlander to finally get his shit together I guess

[Heath Ledger]

So disappointing how mediocre they are. On paper they should be at least 10 games out in front of 2nd place. Verlander is pitching turds, offense has a hard time scoring after the third inning. And I think they have one win in extra innings this year. Sure it's fun to watch Cabrera do his thing but Im afraid of more of the same. A one and done playoff run or choke job in the world series.

[Chris]

IF Verlander is coasting, and IF he gets his fastball and command back, the Tigers are unbeatable in a 7 game series. Really solid team imo

[irishock]

^^ trash bullpen though. Terrible late innings hitting as well.

[Heath Ledger]

I mentioned their late inning hitting but their bullpen has been solid the last couple of weeks. Still some room for improvement Benoit is doing his thing.

[Horry For 3!]

Miggy is my favorite MLB player! Got to see him play in person this year against the Rangers, I was bout 4 rows from him.


P.S. I hope Verlander regains form, I just traded for him in my fantasy league.

[Flintstones32]

Max 16-1, ERA under 3 now. Tigers 6-1 without Miggy. Not too bad. Cleveland can start losing anytime now though.

[JoeTait75]

Max 16-1, ERA under 3 now. Tigers 6-1 without Miggy. Not too bad. Cleveland can start losing anytime now though.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Detroit simply has a better team than the Indians. And the Tigers look as if they're going into their standard late-season run where they blow away the field in the AL Central.

I'm just hoping the Tribe can snag that second wild card and go from there. To me that's more doable than catching Detroit.

[Pelicans78]

I'm sick of seeing the Tigers and Indians winning. Royals are 11-1 in their last 12 and can't make up any ground. Bullshit.

[Pelicans78]

LOL Chris Perez. Shitty arrogant degenerate closer.

[JoeTait75]

LOL Chris Perez. Shitty arrogant degenerate closer.

I think a lot of Indians fans are almost happy when he fails because he's such an asshole.

[Pelicans78]

That was a huge game that asshole blow. Honestly, as a Royals fan, its probably better for me to root for the Tigers since catching the wild card teams will be easier, but still, that was terrible last night on his performance. Still can't believe how much of a douche he has become.

[JoeTait75]

Still can't believe how much of a douche he has become.

Nah, he's always been a douche, at least since he's been in Cleveland.

The Indians are Detroit's bitch. It is what it is.

[exstatic]

Valverde (finally) released, and Bonderman is back. :lol

[Flintstones32]

Valverde (finally) released, and Bonderman is back. :lol

And Bonderman with the win tonight. 3 innings pitched, 1 hit, 0 ER, 3 SO.

And Bonderman with the win tonight. 3 innings pitched, 1 hit, 0 ER, 3 SO.

I know. How does that even happen? He hasn't pitched in MLB since 2010, and throws 1/3 of a shutout. :lol

It doesn't get any better for CLE, either They have to face Mad Max tonight.

Well CLE is definitely due for a win tonight at home and MAX is for sure due a loss. Hopefully not, but have a feeling that will be the result.

Unbelievable. What a huge comeback win. Torii Hunter!!!!

[Spursfan092120]

I just want to say...I love you guys...thank you.

[JamStone]

Oakland was a bitch to play. That "average on paper" line-up completely lit up our top 4 starters. It was like they knew what pitches were going to be thrown every AB.

Plus, they're scrappy. They'll be a bitch of an out in the post season too, assuming they get there.

I'm hoping they'll have to do it with a Wild Card. Rangers can beat them, but yeah...they're scrappy as hell.

Will you cry like a bitch when your team fails again?

LOL always trying to pick a fight

[exstatic]

Interesting. Had heard that Peralta had started working out with the Tigers a few days ago. On the gamecast tonight, they said that Tom Brookens was working him in the outfield, throwing to the bases.

[irishock]

^ I miss JP. Fucking Jim Leyland is placing the teams worst batters at Jhonny's usual 6 spot.

[MultiTroll]

:lmao Merry XMass Tiger.
Was that rigged?

[Fabbs]

^ just saw some of the highlights. Tiger had timely hits and fat left fielder made high drama catch for out.
When i first read the 9th inning walks it looked like 4 straight (fixed?). But after seeing the recap, couple of those walks were with 1st base open, ChiSox playing the percentages.

[JamStone]

Down 6 in the bottom of the 9th inning and the Tigers ambushed Nate Jones, normally the set-up guy, with the middle of the order. 4 straight hits for Hunter, Miggy, Prince, and Victor Martinez. Then a 3 run bomb by the pinch hitter Andy Dirks. It all imploded for the Chicago bullpen from there. Unlikely, improbable. But one of those games something crazy happens. Chris Sale shut the Tigers the whole game prior to the 9th. The winning run was flukish too. The reliever couldn't throw strikes and loads the bases, then he tried to snag a grounder that would have been an inning ending double play had he just let it go through to the 2nd baseman. But Tigers fans will take it.

Porks Cabrera is not lighting it up yet.

Horribly managed series :lol please Illitch fire his ass

[irishock]

WTF is Leyland's problem, pulling Verlander at 110 pitches?

[irishock]

:lmao

:lmao

[midnightpulp]

Congrats, Iris and Jammy.

Let's do this shit in the World Series.

[Chris]

Grats

[irishock]

World Series match-up with LA would be crazy... gonna be tough to get past the Red Sox though. Leyland's got to make some changes to the lineup to produce more runs:

Hunter
Infante
Cabrera
Martinez
Peralta
Fielder
Jackson
Avila
Iglesias

Plus, don't take out your shut-down ace with just 111 pitches heading into the 9th. Please.

[BUMP]

:lmao Oakland going down to Verlander in back to back years

[Fabbs]

Jesus Christ. What's with the obsession over Miguel, Fabbs? :lol
The Trout Haters obsession with Miguel?
It appears it's their fascination with stats. Kind of like the Bonds honks.
Congrats on his 1st clutch postseason hit tho. It came at a good time.

[irishock]

Fuck defensive replacements. why would you not want Miguel up in that position

[Biernutz]

The tigers put it on my Sox . Lucky it was not a no hitter. Did the Sox just
relax too much during the break? They didn't look ready.

Anibal Sanchez was the AL ERA leader this year, so you might try giving credit where credit is due. Oh, and you face this year's likely Cy Young tonight, and last years Cy and MVP on Tuesday, so happy days for Boston, eh?

[JamStone]

Nice surprising win last night. Game 1 was definitely not a game I expected the Tigers to win. I think the patience the Red Sox hitters generally have while taking a lot of pitches hurt them in a way last night. While the strike zone was relatively big and some of the hitters might have had some beef with some of the called strikes, the majority of those borderline calls were just that, at least legitimately "borderline" and close enough to call strikes. At some point, the Red Sox hitters should have started to protect the plate more on those borderline calls instead of just complaining about them being balls. And it's not like Sanchez was getting all the calls. He still walked 6 hitters in 6 innings. Red Sox needed to take advantage of that, but they weren't able to.

Things set up nicely for the Tigers now that they have Scherzer and Verlander in games 2 and 3, and potentially for games 6 and 7 if it gets to that. If Scherzer and the Tigers can steal another game tonight, I'll have a really great feeling about the series. A split after Sanchez beats Lester will almost be disappointing for the Tigers. Boston can take some solace in that the Tigers weren't really able to score either. It could have easily been 1-0 in Boston's favor last night. And even if Scherzer and Verlander pitch well, I can see them losing 1-0 or 2-1 games as well. So with such low scoring games, each team will have to take advantage of every scoring opportunity. Small ball may have to rule in some of these games. Although I do expect there to be at least one or two games where each or either team breaks out and does put up some decent run totals.

Sanchez even said after the game that once he saw they were taking a lot of early pitches, he started throwing early strikes. Getting behind in the count makes any hitter less effective.

[irishock]

Tigers slugging in the playoffs... WTF is going on? :lol

[irishock]

BTW: Bill Simmons is a fucking faggot for calling out Peralta for using PEDs when David Ortiz is on his fav team

[irishock]

Wow. Take out Scherzer despite striking out his 13th at 108 pitches. Fuck you Leyland

[irishock]

NO Peralta for the rest of the game too.

[irishock]

This thing was going 6-7 all the way... but a 2-0 lead with Verlander starting would've demanded at least a 2004 re-performance by the Sox.

[midnightpulp]

Wow. What a fuckin' game.

Lngrrr, where you at, buddy?

[lefty]

lol I forgot those 2 clowns from TSN moved to FOX sports


Hey the weather in California is better, so ...

[JamStone]

Wow. Take out Scherzer despite striking out his 13th at 108 pitches. Fuck you Leyland

I agreed with the call. I even agreed with each of the pitching changes in the inning. That's what the bullpen is there for. And it was on them to close the door, especially with a reasonably comfortable lead. I put most of the blame on Smyly. He had one job to do, to get out Ellsbury. And if he beats him, that's fine. But the one thing Smyly could not do was walk him. You challenge Ellsbury there. You have to.

It's always easy to second guess a manager's decision after things go wrong. The players have to do their jobs. None of those Tigers relievers were put in a position they were unfamiliar with. And none of them were put in a position to fail except for Benoit. While I didn't like the first pitch fastball by Benoit, he was put in a really tough spot. But Smyly had no excuse. Get Ellsbury out and the Tigers are okay in that 8th inning. He didn't. And what's worse, he didn't even force Ellsbury to beat him. He gave him a free pass.

[irishock]

I wish Martinez never tore his ACL so that fat piece of shit wouldn't be on our payroll for the next seven years.

[irishock]

Torii Hunter leading off? lol at least Leyland didn't go with Don FUCKING Kelly at CF.

[irishock]

Doing that Miami Heat cheer thing is embarrassing, tbh. :lol

[irishock]

Gotta win game 5. I feel good about going into Boston with Scherzer and Verlander and having to win just 1. Winning both would be real tough.

^^ what exstatic said beernutts.
We thought it was "over" when Detroit led 5-1 in the 8th.
Can't go by the norms in this series.
I agree it would be tough to win two in Boston.
It will also be tough for Boston to win two in Boston, should Detroit win today.

This has become a one game at a time series. As with the Dodger-Cards.

[JamStone]

If the Sox win tomorrow night it will be very hard for the Tigers to win
the last two in Boston. It's over--

If the Tigers win tomorrow, it will be very hard for the Red Sox to win the last two even at home in Boston against both Scherzer and Verlander, both and regular rest.

You're kind of stating the obvious. So obviously tonight's game is pivotal for both teams.

But actually, I would like the Tigers chances to win both games 6 & 7 better than the Red Sox chances of winning both games 6 & 7, based on whichever team loses tonight. Neither scenario would be an easy task for either team.

[irishock]

That should be the last decision made by Jim Leyland as manager.

Nobody's going to fire Leyland, can only hope he decides not to come back on his own

BTW It'd be great if the team ain't a complete failure in terms of baserunning, relief pitching, and fielding. Feels like our two aces and Cabrera are the only players that are keeping this squad from being last in the AL.

People are wrong everyday in sports. Own your posts. Don't edited them a year later like a bitch. Fandom... True fandom... Is as much the lows as it is the highs.

It's really shameful to run and hide from an original opinion.

Avante-like, bitch move.
