Bonderman needs to pitch a 1 hit shutout...or maybe not even a one hitter...he just needs to eat 8-9 innings lol

**Titus Tiger** · 09-03-2010, 01:43 AM

thanks for the extra hour of sleep

If Bondo can pitch 7 effective innings, against any team, I will be shocked.

**Lousluggage** · 09-03-2010, 09:41 AM

Will there be a purplewindex sighting?

Go Tigers!

**Titus Tiger** · 09-03-2010, 04:50 PM

I think the Tigers should go all silver elvis on KC

**Lousluggage** · 09-03-2010, 04:52 PM

Judging from how long it took somebody else to post on here instead of the last thread, looks like people are still more excited by last night than tonight.

**Titus Tiger** · 09-03-2010, 05:00 PM

as ugly as last night was
it was a pretty nice win ;-)

**wockenfussy** · 09-03-2010, 05:18 PM

Hopefully, Max St. Pierre will get the start at Catcher today, giving Avila and Laird a break. Laird is probably still wasted from jogging around the bases last night.

**TigerFan1984** · 09-03-2010, 05:24 PM

Bonderman vs Greinke; doesn't look good. but Greinke is beatable, and Kansas city's bullpen is bad. If Bonderman can give us 6ip 4 runs or less I like our chances.

the paradox
Grenike is hard to beat
Royals are easy to beat

**Charles Liston** · 09-03-2010, 06:04 PM

Harvey Kuenn is a very important person in my life. Because it was he who was traded by the Tigers to get Rocky Colavito from the Indians.

**jaymo** · 09-03-2010, 06:10 PM

Avila is the DH tonight. He is hitting eighth in front of Laird. The KC fans are in for a treat.

1. Rhymes 4
2. Damon 7
3. Raburn 8
4. Boesch 9 (LOL)
5. Peralta 6
6. Kelly 3
7. Inge 5
8. Avila DH
9. Laird 2

Wow.

Take Jackson and Cabrera out and that lineup looks brutal.

**jaymo** · 09-03-2010, 06:11 PM

Cabrera is out because of his bicep, but reporters are saying it is not serious.

When reporters covering the Tigers say it is not serious that means trouble, right?

**Eric Cioe** · 09-03-2010, 06:14 PM

No.

But if Kevin Rand says it's not serious I'm heading for my ****ing bomb shelter.

**Ingefanclub** · 09-03-2010, 06:14 PM

Good lineup move. The Tigers won't score anyway so give new hitters for Greinke to ponder. Plus it helps keep Jacksons average above .300 though he can pinch run or hit later in the game in a key spot if needed. Same for Cabrera.

The optimist club met today, eh?

Here's hoping for the best.

**Antrat** · 09-03-2010, 06:19 PM

I predict a negative run scoring night for the Tigers.

-5

Could Greinke throw a no-hitter tonight?

**T&P_Fan** · 09-03-2010, 06:30 PM

Worst lineup Jim Leyland could possibly put together. Its like he picked names out of a hat.

You're such an optimist. I predict -6.

**TigerFan1984** · 09-03-2010, 06:30 PM

wow that lineup is bad, 2003 bad. So watch us score like 8 runs

**TigerFan1984** · 09-03-2010, 06:33 PM

taking Cabrera out of our lineup probably causes our team batting average to fall like 20 points.

**Topliner** · 09-03-2010, 06:37 PM

Bert's picture brings a song to mind:

"Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They gone about as fer as they can go
They went an' built a skyscraper seven stories high
About as high as a buildin' orta grow."

We'd better get you in as manager-and fast! Have we figured out who the coaches are, yet?

Hey, that's my job.

**TigerFan1984** · 09-03-2010, 06:40 PM

Kansas City's ball park is pretty nice. I was there in late May. It's worth going to if your in Kansas City, but I wouldn't drive 13 hours to just see the park like I did.

**wockenfussy** · 09-03-2010, 06:47 PM

Kelly, Raburn and Boesch have multiple HR games tonight.

**Shooter McGavin** · 09-03-2010, 06:55 PM

I can't help but laugh at that lineup.

**jaymo** · 09-03-2010, 06:58 PM

We could see some progress on the march to history today with Greinke on the mound. 20 left to tie, 21 for sole possession. I'm not suggesting we count down or anything.

I could hire my cronies.

**ToledoTigerFan** · 09-03-2010, 07:07 PM

KC is going to get royally tatooed tonight. Final score:

Tigers 10
KC 3

He's thumbing through his textbook from his Gross Anatomy class in college. Not much has changed since 1985.

They say it's his bicep? Probably a knee or something. Knee bone connected to the hip bone, hip bone connected to the......

What's in the glass tonight?

I've got a Bell's Oarsman right now. Just picked up a Great Lakes sampler, too, because I had never had Burning River, Dortmunder Gold, or Eliot Ness.

Nothing tonight, I'm going to miss the game. I went home for the holiday weekend and have some family stuff going on. I don't really have any beer here either, I'll have to take care of that before tomorrow's game though.
