[LC AAU]

Good thing your doing something with Miggy, he hasn't done much in WBC.

 

[Vinsane]

Good job against the Mariners, haven't played them yet in my franchise but I'd imagine the Angels are no cake-walk in this game, good luck.

 

[Justo]

nice win on the road

 

[mfbmike]

Yep, not a whole lotta strikeouts outta Bonderman but kept the ball in the park. It's about time. He was pretty bad in his 1st 2 starts.

That 3rd inning rally was sweet. I just strung together a bunch of hits and runs were coming in. Felt good!

 

[Miggy]

Miguel is such a beast! great win Mike

Nothing Goes Right For The Tigers As They Get Shutout In Series Opener

(6-7)

@

(7-6)

The Angel's home crowd fans certainly enjoyed their night at the ball park but it was no fun and games for the Tigers.

The Tigers had no answers at Angel Stadium in Anaheim lastnight, getting blown out by the Angels 7-0 before a crowd of 31,445 fans. Edwin Jackson (0-3) started but didn't give the Tigers much of a chance in defeat, working only 1 and 2/3 innings while allowing 6 runs and 7 hits to take his 3rd straight loss. The Tigers didn't have a big hitter offensively but considering we're obliged to pick someone to jabber about, that someone is Placido Polanco, who went 1 for 4. The Tigers will look to improve upon their dismal performance in game 2 where Dontrelle Willis (1-0 , 2.84 ERA) and Joe Saunders (2-0 , 1.38 ERA) will take the mound for their respective teams.

[Vinsane]

That beach ball is aweome, sorry bout the loss Mike.

 

[mfbmike]

I'm down 7-0, and these pricks throw a beach ball on the field. Icing on the fucking cake, I swear to god. :rofl: That game was horrible, and Edwin Jackson is fucking horrible. He gives up a leadoff homer right out of the gates in the 1st inning. I need to find a way to get him out of the rotation or something. He's garbage.

I don't even know how I failed to bring a run in at all. I hardly struck out but everything was popped up or grounded out. issed:

 

[Rylo]

I know how you feel.

*tear*

 

[The Messenger]

Not in real life, but Mike will pull it out like a motherfuckin' porn star in his chise.

 

[Justo]

shutouts suck dude, jon lester almost shut me out but i got a string a hits together and i scored. i still lost though

 

[LC AAU]

Lulz at beach balls while your getting raped.

 

[Primetime]

They just wanted you to pick up the ball so you would bend over and they could see how big the gaping hole in your ass was as they were raping you.

Leading Late, Lyon Fails The Tigers Once Again

(6-8)

@

(8-6)

Carlos Guillen drilled his 4th homer of the season and came in for 2 runs in the Tigers losing effort.

The Tigers were unable to slip past the Angels on the road lastnight, sufferering a tight 5-4 loss at Angel Stadium. Closer Brandon Lyon came into a tie game but was unable to keep it there, giving up a 1 run off a walkoff RBI single by Vladimir Guerrero and taking the loss. Brandon Inge collected 2 hits, including a home run, and 2 RBI's in 4 at bats to spur the Tigers offense. Howie Kendrick sustained an injury (lateral muscle strain) during the contest and had to be taken out of the game early. His status is day to day. The series concludes tomorrow night at Angel Stadium , and the visiting Tigers will have their hands full with Angels ace John Lackey (1-0, 3.32 ERA) who's slated to oppose Justin Verlander (1-2, 3.27 ERA).
