I feel sick to my stomach thinking about those dark days.
But I wouldn't accuse the Tigers of ever playing "moneyball". They were woeful at drafting, scouting international players, and Illitch seemed far more interested in the Red Wings than the Tigers until it became clear there was going to be a cap in the NHL. There is a certain inelegance about having Victor Martinez, Delmon Young, Miguel Cabrera, and Prince Fielder in the same lineup if all are healthy. I love that we have Fielder and it'll be fun watching this team for the next few years, but I can't help but think that money would've been better spent courting a Beltre or Reyes than another DH.
Cabrera has been better than I expected in the first 6 games at 3rd so I'm not gonna be some concern troll though. I'll save that for my fear of Kansas City killing any thoughts of a Detroit Dynasty in the near future.
In any event, I'd say most of the bigger spending teams are guilty of this same kind of inelegance with the exception of the Rangers so far.

Anywho, Peavy striking out our first 2 hitters is not the way I wanted this day to start.

Haha, game being delayed for a moment as Miguel Cabrera argues that the lines in the batter's box is off by several inches, closer to the pitcher.

ohh mai god rogger roger clemens is in george's box oh maii god
I saw Jake Peavy struck out 2 in 9 pitches and on field delay... I had to go find my radio to make sure that Peavy wasn't broken again lol

I wanted to ...Chalk it up to Boesch and Jackson being impatient, but now I know it's just the Sox cheating
Woah woah woah. Sullivan had plenty to contribute pre-gifs. Gifs just enhanced him.

It's cheating that doesn't make much sense though, Scherzer throws harder than Peavy at this point if I am not mistaken so it would help the Tigers more than the White Sox.
Wouldn't be surprised if the guy that chalked the batters box got yelled at though for being lazy and not exact.
I don't recall ever hearing of a delay like that before though.

I knew Giants fans who wanted him instead of Eli.

I don't think they were actually cheating

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
sorry, I should have been more telling with my lead in to the guy getting yelled at to let you know I was just continuing on with your joke. I didn't think you were actually trying to call them cheaters I mean you had a "
" face and everything.and both pitchers have a perfect game through 1... who will have the wheels fall off and give up 5 runs first?
I'm sure those Giants fans are happy with Eli now.

*looks at both teams lineups with great detail and bias
I wonder.
Thought Prince was safe, but i wasn't right there like the ump was...
And Peavy lighting the lineup.... up

Snuck into Yankee stadium with a guard I know. Feel like a boss.
I would do that but I like reading the post-game quotes too much.
meh, i don't get much out of those. Its the same bullshit every time. Shitty questions and shitty answers. Athletes are trained to give an answer while saying nothing at all and writers ask the worst questions either because they don't know any better or because they don't want to risk pissing someone off and losing their access.

I enjoy laughing at the comments section too much.
It's the journalist in me that likes them. It's an instructive process on how not to conduct a competent interview.
This too.
we should designate regular mlb-gaffers to "root" for the teams that are not represented regularly so we always have someone to talk shit to.

Yup Yankees best pitcher confirmed. I told you yankee fans just give him 5 runs he'll keep them in the game. I think he only gave up 6 runs in the last couple of years once.
Seriously. I nominate all the Royals fans. They should be allowed to root for their team until June, then once they become mathematically eliminated they should have to pick from a pool of teams to root for after that.
