Re: 8/29 - 9/4 Game Discussion Thread

I said the Tigers were tired and dead in '08, not now. This is the best they have played since the first half of 2007.

Another error by Chicago. Even INGE GOT A HIT

Totally read that wrong, haha brain fart on my part.

Haha it's all good. Cabrera...lol...that was hit higher than it was far. 3 days ago he was sitting at 84 RBI and I was wondering if he could get to 100 to keep his streak alive...72 hours later and he's at 92 and looking like he will reach 100 by the 8th inning.

Outscoring them 25-0 since the 5th inning yesterday

These announcers are HORRIBLE.

"Magglio Ordonez is not accustomed to hitting the ball to right field trying to move a runner over."

WHAT! This guy has more hits to RF than anywhere else since 2007. He hit .363 and won a batting title and all he did the whole season was hit the ball the other way. He can't even the pull the ball if he tries to anymore!

I think the last time they saw him play was 9 years ago with Chicago.

And they spent 10 minutes on Baseball tonight talking about how Avila is the best catcher in baseball right now. Then they interview him before the game. Then in the starting lineups, you hear 'and all star catcher Alex AHHVLA."

Dude! It's not Ahhhhhvla. All 3 of the kept saying Ahhhvla over and over again. I wanted to smash my TV. You can't talk about how good a guy is, then botch is name so bad over and over.

Haha I thought the exact same thing when they said he wasn't accustomed to going to right. It's like they just assume that since he isn't normally a 2 hitter that he must not usually play that style of "move the runner over". I was kinda shocked that professional baseball analysts don't know that a 14 year veteran likes to go opposite field.

The #Tigers have 16 runs in six innings. The #SFGiants have 15 runs in six games.

And in the 3rd inning they say "...for somebody who goes the other way as well as Ordonez."
