ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 7, 2009 3 different times if any one of these detroit PANSIES would have just let the ball hit them the game would be over.But nooooooo avoiding a bruise is more important than winning Inge WAS hit by a pitch, with the bases loaded...ump missed it, nothing you can do. Still had to get a sac fly, still couldn't do it. Story of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 7, 2009 What an absolute joke of a team....Dombrowski should can Ol Smokechops tonight and start re-vamping that roster from head to toe. Do you REALLY want him to do the re-vamping? This IS the guy who signed Nate Robertson, Dontrelle Willis, Gary Sheffield all to $10 mil plus contracts. The guy who decided Adam Everett was the way to improve at SS. The guy who made the grand trade deadline deals of Ivan Rodriguez for Kyle Farnsworth, trading for Jarrod Washburn (KNOWING he had a knee injury) and Aubrey Huff. The guy who traded Jarr Jurjens for Edgar Renteria. The guy who spent $130 million dollars only to field a team that regularly started Clete Thomas, Ryan Raburn, Adam Everett, Gerald Laird, and Brandon Inge.

MedStudent 56 Posted October 7, 2009 Best single game evah Very exciting game but each side made some dumb mental errors during the game (Twin who didn't tag up immediately and got thrown out at home, Tiger who made a bad gamble to catch a ball that went for the triple, Twin who threw to the wrong base, Granderson getting doubled off first base, etc.,). Good luck vs the Yankees. They will need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if he doesnt get canned I sure do...yeah he's made some terrible decisions but he also landed Cabrera for what looks like NOTHING at this point...Maybin & MIller haven't exactly been tearing it up and Cabrera (when sober) is a Top 5 player in the game....so that deal pretty much trumps all the poor deals IMO at this point. I don't think anybody saw Jurgens being as good as he is....good, yes, but not great like he was this yr. And in the day and age of no salary cap does it really matter how much Nate gets, or Sheff or D Will ...yeah, it hurts our chances in free agency a little but no cap means you can throw the monopoly money around without reservation. I'd cut Nate today ...Huff didn't get a fair enough crack after he came over, the guy can hit but ol Smokey is loyal to his shit on a stick and couldn't find a spot to plug him in....I could go on and on and on but gotta go drown my sorrows at work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yostevo 0 Posted October 7, 2009 The final game was the Tigers season in a nutshell. Great plays Horrible horrible plays Great pitching Horrible horrible managerial decisions Below average at driving home runners in scoring position Bottomline, no one to blame except themselves. Tip of the hat to the Twinkies for playing out of their mind the last month and half. Real playoff teams will do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only as long as Illitch is willing to give him said money to spend. Looking at the massive amount of wasted money this season, I'm not sure how long Mike will have the stomach for giving Dombrowski his money to burn. ETA: Congratulations to Minnesota.

Jaxie 0 Posted October 7, 2009 Just stopping by to say GO TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was at the Dome last night and it was the most incredible game EVER! No one wanted to leave when it was over and the place was ROARING. I still have no voice. I wanted to punch Casilla in the face for not tagging correctly (keeping his focking foot on the bag 'til the catch was made), but he made up for it with the single in the 12th to win the game. Go Go GOMEZ was way too fast to catch at home! Effing most amazing thing I've ever seen. MAUER FOR MVP!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingMN 273 Posted October 7, 2009 Have to admit, I thought y'all were crazy for b!tching about Leyland throughout the year...but I can see where you're coming from. Why was Porcello taken out in the 6th? Hell, Lyon got up in the pen in the 3rd (?) when the Twins strung together a few hits. Don't get it. Still, Detroit has a good future with their top 3 arms and solid bats in the middle of the lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, Detroit has a good future with their top 3 arms and solid bats in the middle of the lineup. He put us at a competitive disadvantage a lot of the times this year. I like his no nonsense, prideful old school approach to game. He respects it unlike an Ozzie Guillen, but he's no longer a viable in game manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
