Speaking of the Man's World photo, could we all dress up as apes when the space shuttle lands on Thursday? Could be funny...

**treyKemper** · 07-17-2011, 05:52 PM

Oh, and come on WIN STREAK!

**redshark63** · 07-17-2011, 05:57 PM

The return of Guillermo Moscoso!!!

this is rather funny, could we also bury the statue of liberty to her crown?

**VegasTiger** · 07-17-2011, 08:01 PM

Very funny idea.

**Titus Tiger** · 07-17-2011, 08:42 PM

I was watching the Seattle game on the free mlb tv feed. When Felix Hernandez pitches they have some special section -- a K section or something. All those who sit there have a K sign and yellow t-shirts. Every time Hernandez got close the tv would zoom in on that section and they would be cheering.

Seems like the Tigers could do some fun things like that. Cabrera's Cabanna where you sit in left field just past the bullpen with black and white target shirts.. well maybe paper targets....

yes, that is what it is called, seems like that would be a fun thing for the Tigers to do... Of course Seattle needs promotions to get into the stands, where the Tigers don't have many empty sections to seel

Always liked to see Moscoso on the hill with Lakeland (as well with Isaiah Barkett)

Sizemore hits a HR off Purcey. Book it.

It would be classic.

Agreed. The score has to be 20-1 also. We have to have as many runs as his # he wore while here.

This would be funny, if I hadn't seen it on Facebook for the millionth time. If you are in fact the original author, awesome. If not, this isn't funny anymore.

**Cecil** · 07-18-2011, 03:00 PM

Cleveland up 4-0 against Minnesota.

I'll LOL if that happens.

**John_Brian_K** · 07-18-2011, 04:25 PM

I will LOL if Purcey strikes Sizemore out or gets him to line out or pop up or a FC.

**IdahoBert** · 07-18-2011, 05:08 PM

Tribe scalps Twins 5-2.

<flinches>

**thefunk** · 07-18-2011, 05:16 PM

twins suck. until we play them.

**CapitalTigers** · 07-19-2011, 10:25 AM

ESPN has turner pitching for Detroit tomorrow, according to BlessYouBoys twitter, for those of you that only check game threads.

**JayVee** · 07-19-2011, 12:31 PM

Did the Twins win?

The Tigers are 5-0 against the Twins.

Sizemore is going to hit a walk off in every game this series I can feel it in my bones.

Can you imagine how many people pull their hair out if that happens. Quick investment in hairclub for men may be warranted.

**kdog** · 07-19-2011, 03:36 PM

Jackson is tentatively back in the lineup. Otherwise it's the same as Sunday including Inge.

A team on the road can't hit a walk off. Only the home team can end the game with one swing of the bat.

**drownwithyou** · 07-19-2011, 03:47 PM

Ha great call. I guess I was thinking about his walk off heroics in Oakland and just assumed he'd do something like that here. So I will change it to game winning hit every game this series.

**redshark63** · 07-19-2011, 04:03 PM

OFFICIAL_TIGERS Detroit Tigers

Tonight's lineup: Jackson 8, Boesch 7, Ordonez 9, Cabrera 3, Martinez dh, Peralta 6, Guillen 4, Avila 2, Inge 5. Porcello is starting.

So Jackson isn't going on the DL? Last I heard was he may go on retoactive to his last appearance. I guess he could always be another late scratch? I just want him healthy for the upcoming 7 game road trip, 4 in Minny and 3 in Chicago.

I would be much happier if he ended both games by striking out to end the game. I'm sure he would hear some cheers.

Ideally the Tigers would have a 5-0 lead going to the 9th in every game of this series, and every time David Purcey would give up a grand slam to Sizemore, before someone else closed out the game. That would be nice
