This is our playoffs. Do well, live on. 'Survive and advance'.

Do or die.

This is it.

Dismount and fight hand to hand.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:25 pm

Started promising anyway.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:27 pm

Yeah, let me know when Choo is back up, in the 3rd.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:38 pm

Just kidding.

Here's a question: Peralta had a great year last year, and is hitting .270 with a .337 OBP.
Does anyone miss him, now? Or is he just a nice 7 hole hitter in Det who would be leaving just as many RISP as a cleanup hitter in Cleveland as anyone else?

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:42 pm

I don't miss him.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:44 pm

Good piece of hitting from JD. Looked for that on first pitch and hit it where it was pitched.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:44 pm

Santana 8 for his last 18 (.444) with 4 2B, 2HR and 6BB (.600OBP over that span).

Damon comes through with the clutch hit.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:49 pm

Pretty good call at 2B. I thought we got screwed. But he was safe.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:02 pm

I know that ball was absolutely smashed, but get off your phone, lady. Fractions of a second matter.

What's the attendance looking like? Lots of Tiger fans?

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:09 pm

What a play by fat ass on the diving stop. Bad play by fat ass on the pick at 1st.

Splitter really is working tonight

by **noles1** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:51 pm

Nice outing from Ubaldo. Damon's stupidity probably kept him from coming out in the 7th.

Still we needed it and he gave it to us today. Splitter was sharp and he battled from the stretch.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:51 pm

Oh yea!!! Ubaldo coming up huge.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:59 pm

I'm hoping he doesn't come out in the 7th. Last time out against the Ray he bobbed and weaved pretty successfully through 5 innings, giving up just one run in the homer to Luke Freakin' Scott. Comes out in the 6th, gets two outs, and then the wheels fall off. Since he made it OK through six I want to hear that Smith is coming out in the 7th. We have a terrific 7-8-9 pitching line-up. I want to win against Deetroit so bad....

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:05 pm

Props to Ubaldo for tonight.

It's a coin toss what we get next time out, but I'll just enjoy this one for now.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:08 pm

Maybe Ubaldo should pitch just at home. Run diff per Hammy was something like 3 runs between home and away.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:09 pm

Oh fuck off!

Walk Berry to face Cabrera.... good plan!

I know the 3-2 pitch probably was a strike, but you shouldn't get to that point!

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:09 pm

Robot umps now. Inning should have been over.

by **Adverb Harry** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:09 pm

Well, shit.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:11 pm

Hubby said Deetroit was smart to bring their own umps... :hide:

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:15 pm

Pronk hustle triple!!!!

C'mon Cunningham, make your last AB as an Indian a good one!

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:16 pm

LOL. Of course Cunningham's up now.

by **andrew6586** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:16 pm

Come on Aaron, it's your last a bat as an Indian. Make it count.

I <3 Manny Acta.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:17 pm

Nice call Manny.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:17 pm

Fuck yeah!!!

You can ride that play into the sunset Cunningham!

WellWellWell. Old School NL play beats the AL Central "powerhouse". Sweet!

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:20 pm

Only way they were scoring :dingle:

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:20 pm

Looks like the Pirates have a deal in place to acquire Wandy Rodriguez from the Astros.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:22 pm

Considering they've scored one run off Samardzija and Maholm the last two nights, they may want to acquire a bat or two as well.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:24 pm

To those of you who enjoy crying over spilled milk, Josh Willingham, with his 24th HR tonight, now has our team leaders in home runs doubled.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:28 pm

DEE PEE Oh man I love the 'playoffs'.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:31 pm

Problem with that walk is that if anyone reaches in the 9th, Captain Dickhead comes to the plate.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:32 pm

Well, Vinne had nothing working but he got through it.

The wonders of Baseball scoring, if we hang on to win this one, Joe Smith would get the win.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:33 pm

Well, we're scratching out another run in the 9th.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:34 pm

I don't think a righty makes that catch.

by **Erie Warrior** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:38 pm

Double digit hits.

by **Erie Warrior** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:39 pm

Could use another.

by **googleeph2** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:43 pm

If M Cabrera comes up with one guy on any base, I am walking him.

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:48 pm

Must get this guy.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:48 pm

If they ever make an Aaron Cunningham movie ("Designated for Assignment: Late Inning Replacement: The Aaron Cunningham Story"), his suicide squeeze will be in slow motion with the song from The Natural playing. Then the screen will cut to black.

In white writing: "He never played another game in the majors again. He was replaced by Brent Lillibridge, the game's first half-blooded Hobbit."

by **andrew6586** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:49 pm

Winner.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:49 pm

Ballgame!

by **skatingtripods** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:49 pm

Part 1 down. Gotta outhit the Tigers tomorrow. Unless Derek Lowe magically pitches well.
