Looks like the Sox aren't the only ones who have a little trouble running from 3rd to home. . .

Didn't see it.
Didn't need it.
Who was it ? ...A Tiger ?

Don't matter...the BoSox went down again. You're gonna need a new second baseman though, Mick. Too bad.

Omar Infante is a player.
And Pudge..., well, at least he's a gamer. [Looked like he had a new glove ... that belonged to someone else. 🙂 ]

Yeah, I forget who it was. Tigers on 1st and 3rd, nobody out. Ground ball hit to Lowell at third. R3 stutter steps, gets a slow start, then decides to head home. (Maybe thinking Lowell was going to 2nd for the double play?)

Anyway, Lowell boxes it around for second, gathers the ball and still has time to throw out the runner at the plate. I don't think the runner was loafing; I think it was indecision.

Rodriguez (there was only one "Pudge" -- my man Fisk) makes his first professional appearance at second base last night. I don't think he even got a chance to make a play.

Pudge(Detroit/Texas) ain't pudge anymore. He's lost about 30# since steroid testing came in. That's just a coincidence though.😃

He did have one play last night at 2B though iirc....a pop fly.

And there was only one Eddie Armbrister too...😃

-of course, you'd be too young for that.

Yup, you're right. I forgot that one. It was a good play too. He had to go into the outfield, back behind first base. Nice play.

Well, if anybody can blow a five run lead in a hurry, Sidney F***ing Ponson can.

26 Year Gap

...according to Rotisserie lore, he must be a descendant of Dennis 'Bleeping' Lamp...

...whose career is highlighted by being the answer to a WS trivia question. And will be forever tied to one of my dormmates smashing his beer glass against the wall not too long afterwards. [After he emptied it of course]

And your beloved Tigers played their game in a tidy 2:34- or just under half the time. White Sox lost too, so you're still 6 1/2 up. Minny could pass the White Sox this weekend for the wild card lead.

Lot of time to go.......

And it did. It rained Bronx Bombers on Boston again.😃 Gotta pull for the sweep tonight.

Chuck must be out of town.🙂

First 5-game sweep at Fenway since 1943. 🙁

I don't know if they're done, but their pitching sure got exposed.

Jurassic Referee

I'm glad that you're taking it so well, Chuck. Dan and I were kinda concerned that you'd do something drastic, like maybe try to commit suicide by jumping off something high up...like a kitchen chair.

Remember...it's not whether you have won or lost, but how you have played the game. And Bah-ston played the game really sh!tty the last 4 days.😃
