OT- Guarantee: White Sox going to sweep Tigers
Tigers lead 2-0 early. Miggy hits 2 run shot to make amends for last night.
Fister looks horrible and I don't think he will make it through the third
Leyland will blow this one somehow.

I'm not quite as pessimistic, but either way this weekend is do or die for the old English D.
August 31st, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
lol have some faith man. Tigers aren't gonna lose 3 games in a row started by Fister, Scherzer, and Verlander.
Tigers will still make the playoffs. Plenty of time.
August 31st, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
Wrong.
August 31st, 2012 at 7:43 PM ^
Tigers made an interesting move today.
Jeff Baker was designated for assignment and the Tigers called up a hulking 21 year old OF from AA Erie

Omar Infante. Knows how many outs there are in an inning, right after he blew a double play ball.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
Cabrera probably should be DHing. With 2 bum ankles he needs to hit about .500 to justify playing Third
EDIT: Cabrera hitting .750 tonight, so I guess playing Third is justified
August 31st, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
Hit a guy with the bases loaded. Lovely.
I wonder if Fister's nuts hurt again.

I kind of forgot about him, but Smyly could be valuable as a lefty out of the pen down the stretch.

Can Benoit be the Tigers closer next year?
August 31st, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
Dude is like 103/109 in save opportunities since joining the Tigers. He makes it pretty interesting sometimes, but he almost always gets it done.

23 SB's in 122 games this season for Avasail Garcia. Very impressive for a kid his size
August 31st, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
'bout that...

Hey, I've manballs enough to face my critics in the face of adversity. It hurts, but I was wrong.
In other news: I guarantee a Michigan State victory over Boise State tonight

I've been away from MGoBlog for a few hours and I laughed out loud reading the title to this thread. I'm so glad this blew up in this dude's face.
No one can predict Delm-sanity!

If I might ask a question: I'm a Cubs fan. I do not enjoy the White Sox much. On paper, the Tigers should be about 10 games up over the White Sox (or, say Indians, games not played on paper, etc.). What would you Tigers fans most attribute to the problems the Tigers have had this season? Seemed like a real solid club heading into the season.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:03 AM ^
is the manager. 'Nuff said.
September 1st, 2012 at 7:06 AM ^
Leyland can't hit the ball, catch the ball or throw pitches for the players.
September 1st, 2012 at 1:05 AM ^
Unclutch hitting (RISP) and inconsistent hitting from the bottom half of the line-up. Defensive and speed not that good.
September 1st, 2012 at 6:57 AM ^
have the second best average with RISP in the entire league behind the White Sox. Obviously, it was an issue the last two games against KC, but by in large the numbers don't indicate that as being a significant issue. Inconsistent hitting from the role type guys has been a major issue though. Also, I am not sure why nobody mentions it, but the pitching wasn't very good in the earlier part of the year either. At one point the entire rotation besides Verlander had ERA's over 4.40.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:50 AM ^
On paper before the season maybe, but the White Sox have scored more runs than the Tigers and allowed fewer, so on paper now, the Sox should actually be another couple of games up than they are.
According to Joe Sheehan, the Tigers have one of 50 worst park-adjusted defensive efficiencies in the 60 years they have data for the stat. That's undoubtedly part of it, and is probably the primary reason why the White Sox have allowed fewer runs than the Tigers. (This year's Brewers are actually even worse in that stat, BTW).
And for all the hype about the Tigers lineup, half of the lineup has been below-average players this year -- Avila came back to earth, Delmon Young is Delmon Young, Boesch has been awful, second base was awful and still meh with Infante, Peralta's been marginal as well. Cabrera and Fielder are doing their thing and Austin Jackson has been great, but they've got one other guy who starts more than once or twice a week with an OPS over 750.

She's handcuffed to my bed right now, and will be for the foreseeable future.

The word "guarantee" has been cheapened and left empty enough as it is in the world of sports by players, broadcasters, owners, and yes, fans.
Please don't contribute more to this pollution.
