Always A Tiger

[mfbmike]

Lol at Bondermans and Willis' ERA.

Don't hate. oops:

Your making me want to play my older Tigers franchise again. Now if only I still had the game and never saved over my chise....

I wish I had Porcello back then. I so freakin pissed I want to play this game horribly but I sold it last week GOD DAMN MIKE! STOP!!!

I loved your Tigers chise. Remember how bad I was with Edwin Jackson in my original one. He's beasting out now. Porcello looks like he might be hitting the rookie wall. :shot:

 

[mfbmike]

Yeah, I probably won't sell it until '10 drops. lol. Still working on that 3,000 rbi trophy.

That was at the beginning of July. I'm basically halfway through the month since I just got past the all-star game.

Since then, I've done the Jarrod Washurn trade from Seattle and let go of Josh Anderson to the Royals for cash considerations (jack shit) to mirror the Tigers RL moves.

Update coming.

Cabrera Hits 1st Homer Of July To Boost Tigers Past Bombers In Game 1

(53-35)

vs

(46-45)

Miguel Cabrera ended his home run drought, blasting a 3 run shot in the 6th to lead the Tigers to victory in New York.

The Tigers picked up a tough one-run victory on the road tonight, with a 3-2 final a disappointment to both the Yankees and their 50,298 fans in attendance. Dontrelle Willis allowed 2 runs and 8 hits over 8 inning to get the win, his 7th of the season, extending his win streak to 3 in a row. Curtis Granderson was a spark plug offensively, picking up 3 hits in 4 at bats and hitting in his 14th straight game. Granderson is having an amazing month of July.

Game 2 is tomorrow evening with rookie Rick Porcello (6-7 , 3.54 ERA) looking to get back to .500 on the year against a struggling A.J. Burnett (2-10 , 4.21 ERA).

Yeah, I don't know what it I'm doing wrong. My SS's/2B's rack up errors. Adam Everett has 9 too.

And these guys are supposed to be some of the best defensive SS's in the game. :fad:

Nice win over the Yanks mike.

Yankees Fall Under .500 After Tigers Run Away With Game 2 Win

(54-35)

vs

(46-46)

Michael Young's 2 run blast in the 9th inning was the icing on the cake.

Unruffled by the 50,298 fans at Yankee Stadium tonight, the Tigers scored enough to win fairly comfortably, 9-3 over the Yankees. Michael Young carried the club, going 3 for 5 with a home run and 3 RBI. Rick Porcello pitched 7 innings, giving up 5 hits, giving up 1 run and striking out 3, to secure victory number 7 of the season.

It'll be the Tigers Jeremy Bonderman (7-5 , 2.36 ERA) facing off with Andy Pettitte (9-2 , 2.55 ERA) in the series finale in New York tomorrow night. Curtis Granderson hopes to add to his 15 game hitting streak.

Matt Treanor got an RBI? :jonesy: he fucking sucks

 

[mfbmike]

rofl, he's not that bad but probably won't be back next season.

seems like everyone got an RBI. that 8th inning was hilarious. They pulled Burnett and then it was just single, single, single, single, bringing guys home. Batted around the lineup. :bow:

 

[T.Dot]

Wow, Burnett blows, rofl.
Nice win at NYS

I Hear The Ball Carries Well In New Yankee Stadium; Tigers Blast 7 Home Runs And Sweep

(55-35)

vs

(46-47)

Placido Polanco got it started early with this 2 run shot that was part of a 5 run 1st inning rally.

The Tigers strong offensive display helped them cruise to a 12-5 victory today over the Yankees, in front of 50,298 disappointed (to say the least) fans at Yankee Stadium. Placido Polanco had a huge game, going 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and 3 RBI leading the Tigers charge that scored 8 runs off of All-Star Andy Pettitte. Jeremy Bonderman gave up 4 runs and 8 hits over 6 innings of work, and that was good enough for him to record his 8th win of the season, and 3rd in a row.

The Tigers begin a series at home tomorrow night against the Mariners, with Justin Verlander (7-6, 2.60 ERA) drawing the start against Ryan Rowland-Smith (2-6, 5.12 ERA). Curtis Granderson keeps it goin and hopes to add to his now 16-game hitting streak.
