Things to Think About:

 

1. Think about Albers... 3 Starts under his belt... This is all pretty new to him... If it's not new to him... Facing off against the Tigers and Justin Verlander should be.

 

2. Think about Verlander... He's gotta matchup against Albers... Right now... Albers is blowing Verlander away in the ERA Department.

 

3. Think about Tuiasosopo... What football Roster did they grab him off of. Names like that are usually playing on the line of scrimmage somewhere.

 

4. Think about 6 thru 9... The Tigers are not very scary either 6 through 9 in the batting order.

 

5. Think about Self Help Groups... My Wife suggested I should look into a self help group. I couldn't get past the thought of how I can get "Self" Help in a group. The fact that I couldn't get past that... Probably suggests that I could use some help.

Any questions about Verlander's ability to pitch with a case of the jitters should be answered today.

Isn't this kind of what game threads are?

I'm sure that most of us here would be happy to sit down with RiverBrian and tell him how he should fix his life.;)

 

Oy, no ... I wouldn't want that responsibility for anyone.

 

 

Edit: On further thought ... put it this way, I think he's the least of the 'needs fixing' on here. ;) But I still don't want that responsibility.

I meant it in jest.

 

And of course, the good thing about doing it in a group is if you screw up somebody's life you can always blame the rest of the group members instead of yourself.:o

.

 

First off, using the binary correlative, either, to compare four players threw me off completely. Is that your Canadian influence talking?

 

Secondly, although Omar Infante may have a cutesy, baby-sounding last name, he is a scary-good defender at 2B and is having a BABIPistcally frightening year at the plate.

 

Finally, Tuiasosopo is legitimately scary. As all Samoan heritage athletes seem to be, he excelled at football and turned down a full ride to the University of Washington, his Dad is Manu, former scary defensive lineman for the Seahawks.

He seems to come from an important family all-around. I found this on Wikipedia:

 

Mariota Tiumalu Tuiasosopo (1905-1957) was the author of Amerika Samoa, the national anthem of American Samoa.

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

American Samoa greatest possession in the world all other possessions are run by little girls.

American Samoa number one exporter of potassium!

Other possessions have inferior potassium.

American Samoa home of the Tuiasosopo swimming pool it's length thirty metre and width six metre.

Filtration system a marvel to behold it removes 80 percent of human solid waste.

 

It goes on, but you get the gist.

LLove the new avatar but miss the old one.

 

Which old one? I've changed it a few times. The new one is the beach on Sanibel Island at sunset. :)

Serious thought. Given the Twins lineup, even though Verlander is very quick to the plate, you have to send guys with speed when they reach. The catcher didn't appear to be quick in throwing and didn't seem to have a particularly strong arm.

It was over after two hitters!

 

The case seems to have been re-opened by the Wayne County board of inquiry.

Hmmmm. Pitching to Miggy with a RISP and an open base? Especially a soft-tossing lefty.

 

We have to find out what we've got.

And Albers strikes him out. Don't question it lol. Cabrera still gets out almost 65% of the time.
