Game Thread: Twins@Tigers 8/22 12:08PM

Glunn apparently thinks I'm "on fire" or his "like button" is stuck!

The Tigers should also throw in Cabrera for Plouffe. They need a younger, healthier 3B.

Ryan already turned 'em down. Tigers wouldn't eat enough of Cabby's contract...

[stringer bell]

Seriously, this is why I love baseball. There is supposed to be no chance for the Twins C- lineup and here they score six in six innings vs. Verlander.

I like almost all posts in game threads. Game threads are special to me.

The moderators are currently discussing putting you out.

[LaBombo]

Read what you just said. The Tigers need a catcher. Not a right fielder...

Got an autographed picture of Doumit at Twinsfest laying around somewhere. Had trouble framing it for some reaason...

That is truly funny.

You should make a smaller version for your wallet.

[TABLE=class: mod-data]

[TR=class: odd]

[TD=align: left]Omar Infante[/TD]

[TD=align: left]Strike (looking), Ball, Ball, O Infante reached on infield single to shortstop[/TD]

[TD=align: left]Ball, Strike (looking), Ball, J Iglesias doubled to deep left, O Infante to third[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

I'm sure if I were watching the game instead of seeing the written PBP it would be clear, but how can a guy who's fast enough to beat out an infield single not be fast enough to score with two outs on a double to deep left?

[glunn]

Albers has given up more runs than Correia did last night. Why don't people give more credit to Correia when Correia does OK?

That post sucked.

Thanks, but it was really just a no-brainer after the Morneau/trade/salary debate.

[glunn]

I would bring in a reliever right now.

+1 Sir. +1.

Only at 96 pitches by my count. He's got a few left in him.

[kydoty]

Well that was fun while it lasted.

[ashbury]

**** it. I'm going to Target.

[kydoty]

Uh, Ron Coomer with one of my biggest pet peeves...

 

"Baseball is a game of inches"

 

EVERY game is a game of inches!

[LaBombo]

That post sucked.

On the contrary, it proved that Glunn is unafraid to share his feelings, and our image of him as a man is the richer for it...

I was only off by 4, apparently.

[ashbury]

This just in: I am not sold on Josh Roenicke.

Was going to post a simple "You're fired", but then remembered that I was thinking the same thing.

 

Kid pitched well is still my takeaway, but only because I'm forced to because of my stupid 'however the game turns out' qualifier in my earlier compliment to AA.

[gil4]

Hey, Tigers. Your catchers are all banged up. The Twins have a guy......

 

I thought we traded him already.

[stringer bell]

BTW, I share Ashbury's suspicion about Roenicke. Of course, Austin Jackson hits a bomb.

What? He's brilliant. He's just setting himself up for the win!

Actually I do enjoy oil painting, but only of nude plump women.

Finger paints?

[glunn]

Verlander has thrown 121 pitches. I wonder how that will work out over the long run.

Yeah. Used to naively hope that Wins and Saves either be revised to make them relevant, or at least completely ignored. Kinda gave up on that.
