One at a time Tribe, one at a time. Scratch out one more run than Oakland does.

Something Tim McCarver would say. Gotta out score the opposing team to win. :thumb up:

Our entire line-up is batting above the Mendoza line!

When did we last successfully steal a base?

Jason Giambi, Reggie Jackson and I'm out on the trivia

anyone know the other one?

Guess someone tried, huh B-P? (I looked - it was Droobs...) I've been attempting to log in to MLB Gameday for the last 45 minutes; was on hold with tech support for over half an hour and got nowhere. Would like to kill the person who tweaked their website cuz now it's not working...which it did all season up till now.

Guess I'll get to hear the game when the sun sets over Long Island and I can pull WTAM in over the airwaves the old-fashioned way.

BTW, does anyone know how to log-out of Gameday or the MLB site? That's what phone guy suggested. I thought the log-in link was in the top-right corner but all that is there is to log in to the forums. The phone guy said it was a "site issue" so I guess I have to wait until Tech undoes what it needs to do to unscrew-up what they screwed up earlier....

Oooh wait Eric Chavez?

That was two outs that could have been averted if our guys had been hustling. Thome and Hannahan should know better.

Shut-down or unplug your computer...(that'll be the first thing I would do, idk if that'll be the best thing to do for you) might be easier to head to a pub that has the MLB package. Since you're surrounded by Massholes, there must be a pub nearby :cheers:

Hustling for Thome is a brisk walking pace.

That probably should have been my first thought...I'm married to an IT guy! I tried to get in touch with him to find out how to clear cookies but he must be in the bowels of his office building cuz his phone is going to VM. Thanks!

I'll wait until between innings. Don't want to miss anything good (or bad????)!

And yes, surrounded by MAholes. But I'm making supper and getting ready to leave in a couple of days...we're headed to O-H-I-O for vacation in just a couple of days!!! :woot:

Lake Erie perch and walleye here we come! (Oh, yeah, and two kids to visit too. ;-) ;) :wink:

Ho hum, another outstanding, professional AB from Fukudome.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:01 pm

FukU...shrewd addition :)

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:01 pm

12 RBI in 30 games for Fukudome in the AL now.

by **andrew6586** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:01 pm

Nice at bat there by Fuku. Zeke almost caught Lou too.

by **motherscratcher** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:05 pm

Duane Kuiper, Jim Bibby, and Rod Carew...as told by posnanski. short and awesome

Read this story last week. Loved it. Hilarious.

Doug Fister has a perfect game through 6 for the Tigers.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:22 pm

KC getting no hit and Detroit get 1 hit through 6 innings

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:23 pm

Gordon leadoff 2B in the 7th ends that.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:25 pm

and as I say the the no hitter is eneded and KC take the lead

Bravo!

by **scrambler** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:35 pm

Serviceable game for Gomez so far. His best start of the year in his few up here. Hopefully he can get through 6.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:39 pm

Fuku has seen about 20 pitches in his 3 at bats

Not to take anything away from what Huff and Gomez have done, but that is one butt ugly offense Oakland puts up there. If both Jimenez and Carmona can't pitch well the same time through the rotation, that would be depressing.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:50 pm

Booooooooooooooom

4-1

by **peeker643** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:50 pm

That was touched.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:50 pm

When the Axeman connects..... it's damn pretty!

by **RedDawg53** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:50 pm

Oh my goodness!!!! (flex)

Their defense is even uglier. I didn't think it possible to see a worse SS than the Twins Nikiosha.

I was wrong.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:52 pm

I'm so proud of these guys when they cause a pitcher's ERA to increase.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:54 pm

I was wondering why they didn't PR for Thome as that was a big insurance run at 1B. Guess that's why.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:56 pm

Supermanahan!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:57 pm

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU just got Hannahaned

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:57 pm

Atta boy Jack.

Punished that hanger.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:57 pm

Gomez with only 88 pitches still. Around the 3rd inning or so, I think he was on track to hit 100 in the 5th.

by **scrambler** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:59 pm

How many times did I tell peeker we needed to keep Hannahan on the roster! :partyers:

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:00 pm

Detroit being ass holes in the 8th and trying to win the game.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:01 pm

I knew I should have stayed for one more game instead of driving back

by **FortheWin** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:07 pm

So Laporta gets demoted and Gomez pitches a gem in the same day...Great Day

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:08 pm

Fuck of you Detroit you fucking fucks

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:09 pm

And the Royals pen blows it.

by **cappy1920** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:09 pm

"...and Carew comes over to Kuiper and says, “You little $&#$@$ …”

“What did I do?” Kuiper said.

And Carew said that he was playing an exhibition game in Japan. He stepped in against, yep, Jim Bibby. And suddenly he felt the jolt of a fastball pounding his side … this in an EXHIBITION GAME IN JAPAN.

And he said Jim Bibby flexed and said: “That was for Duane Kuiper.”
"

Ha ha!

HOnest to God, is there anything more excruciating or boring than Yankees/Red Sox baseball?? It should be banned from the planet. 2 and a half hours later we're meandering through the bottom of the 5th inning. And it's not like it's 15-4.

Only 206 pitches through 5 innings. That's probably good for them.
