OT - Tigers vs. Indians 8/20/11
Tigers get to a fast start 2-0 after 1.
Would be nice to see Fister get a quality start and win the first two games of this series. Leyland put in his defensive infield for this game - starting Inge and Santiago, but went with a less than stellar defensive outfield (Young and Ordonez).

LOL
A ground ruled double RBI by Inge
August 20th, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
In the park that would have been a three run homer. Nonetheless, a good job by Inge.

August 20th, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
im pretty sure im rooting against the tigers right now. wtf. screw brandon inge. go back to sucking so i can rip on leyland. now hes going to think hes a bamf again. fml.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
not sure if serious...
August 20th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
Its funny either way. If he is serious, its hilarious that there is an idiot that cares more abou Inge's failure and ripping on Leyland than the Tigs success, if hes not serious its funny b/c hes making fun of said idiot, which we all know do exist.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
We need to know whether he's serious or not so that we know whether to give a meaningless posbang or negbang.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
mediocre attempt by me at best to be "that guy"
i blame the gin.
August 20th, 2011 at 11:08 PM ^
we have Indians fans on the blog. I'm feeling the Pain...stupid bats...get runs dammit!!!
August 20th, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
because betemit has been producing but if inge can hit i dont mind. but just because of tonight i hope leyland doesnt keep him in the lineup everynight for the next 30 if he is struggling. i hope he give betemit the starts against righties because he hits .100 higher against righties than lefties.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:43 PM ^
get the majority of the starts against righties.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
but the umps gave it too him. then the luck continues with a dropped ball
August 20th, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
Inge lucks out again....OOPS...
August 20th, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
This is just like when you come home early to catch your wife cheating and you find her cooking a strudel. You know this is not how things normally are, or how they will be going forward. Really though, what can you say but bravo!!

As someone exiled in Yankee land, I've been catching up on Tigers baseball thanks to the interwebs. Progress from MLB.com's Gameday (yes, a poor substitute for HD live) and emotional/humor/bitching support from you guys.
So I've newly discovered this stat that I finally figured out stood for "nasty factor." Can someone tell me how that's actually figured, or is it just a for-fun judgment? [They post it more quickly than what kind of "in play" results from a non-strike-ball-out.] I'd Google, but fear I'll be kidnapped by a NSFA1 website.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
Inge is up again with the bases loaded? This has got to be fixed.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
They give Brandon a standing O.I love it!
August 20th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
nice swing out of the zone inge
August 20th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
Leyland has been the best manager since Sparky for the TIgers, Dombroski is doing a good job, I mean, the Tigers are in the hunt for a playoff spot, they are not in last. I have listened to TIger games for 40yrs, they have a decent team this and have a chance.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
are tied at 2 in the 8th. Let's go Rangers. The Tigers could really open up some breathing room if they swept this series and Chicago lost theirs.
Edit: 3-2 Sox now.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
Damn
August 20th, 2011 at 9:52 PM ^
And now are up 3 1/2 games on the Indians
August 20th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
I'll admit, I was Inge bashing yesterday and he had a good game today but I'll be skeptical for the time being. If he can bat .260+ for the remainder of the season I'll continue that a success (sure beats .177). However we all know hes more than capable of putting up a 1-20 stretch anytime soon, especially with the Inge slappys in Detroit still forgiving.
Id rather be proven wrong and see Detroit in the playoffs so go ahead, whatever it takes!

With this big victory margin, the Tigers' run differential is back to zero for the season. The rest of the division is in the negatives.

Looked like Leylands line up worked dispite what fans moaned about .
