Tigers got game one... Hopefully they will get game two as well. Would be a nice series win without Verlander pitching. Scherzer pitched a nice game tonight.

Nice game from Scherzer, and nice to see Jackson getting some RBIs off that HR.
Let's get em again tomorrow.

The back to back homers by Avila and Peralta was just amazing. On 2 straight pitches even. I just wish the Arby's here would offer those free curly fries! lol

I just want to say, that Inge coming back to START over Betemit and Dirks going to the minors pisses me off beyond belief.

What on earth does the organization have against Betemit? This dude is boatloads better than Inge, but he will fucking platoon with Inge? You have to be kidding me lol. He is hitting .285 for fucks sake. Why is he not our everyday 3rd baseman?
Inge did a good job in AAA, big fucking deal. I could care less if Inge is a classy player, dude is fucking ass.

You've got to be kidding me... I didn't even hear about that... You serious? That just ruined my mood for the night. Betemit has done nothing but hit and we are putting in some guy that couldn't hit to save his life because he's been apart of the team forever? Give me a break. Un-believable.

Yep, it's truly sad. Even when Wilson got here, Leyland seemed like he had an issue with playing the dude. He should be our everyday starter, as he is by far the best third baseman we have.
I'll take Don Kelly over fucking Brandon Inge, if we HAVE to fucking platoon with Wilson.

Also, Dirks does not deserve to go to the minors whatsoever for shit ass Inge. IDC if call-ups are soon or not, complete bullshit.

Well, I can't say that i'm surprised because I knew this would happen eventually. I just was hoping not until the expanded rosters. I know they say Betemit isn't a great everyday 3B but he's done well, more often than not. Personally, i'd prefer Betemit and Kelly splitting.

Dirks being sent to minors pisses me off a bit too. Dude has been great, for the limited time he's played, and should still be on the current roster.

I totally missed the Dirks part, he's gone too? They must have something against Wilson's defensive play... How sad.. No wonder the team can't make the playoffs.

I wasn't expecting Inge to come back and platoon with Wilson. I figured we traded for the dude to actually start him everyday. And yeah, real unfair to Dirks.

Yep, will be in the minors. Which is fucking dumb, cause he is the best outfielder off the bench that we have IMO, very versatile defensively as well.
Inge ain't even that great of a defender anymore, better than Wilson, but still.

Well, Dirks will be recalled September 1st when the rosters expand, but that's still messed up. As far as Inge, I can't see him hitting over .240

.240 is probably a bit generous lol.

OH SHIT, I also forgot to say that I went to the Detroit Zoo yesterday and seen Jhonny Peralta there! Me and him looked eachother in the eyes lol. I was shocked as fuck. Such a cool experience though.

Curtis Granderson is just raping the baseball right now. He's on pace for a .284 average, .378 OBP, .973 OPS, 45 HRs, 126 RBIs (in the 2-hole for most of the year), 30 SB (40-30), and 149 Rs.

Just crazy numbers.

I hate looking at this thread because it's just a circle jerk of Tigger Fans.


Surprised the Reds won last night, they were up 6-2 and somehow blew that lead, and then Sappelt and Stubbs saved our ass too.

I saw that the Yankees signed Aaron Laffey. He kinda sucks but he use to be my favorite pitcher on the Indians lol.

If other people besides Tigers fans posted in here, it wouldn't be a circle jerk.
