2006 ALCS - Detroit vs. Oakland

[Valadius]

Got it:

]Steve Lyons questioned Shawn Green�s commitment to Judaism after the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger sat out a key game on Yom Kippur. Green�s �not a practicing Jew,� Lyons said. �He didn�t marry a Jewish girl.� He added: �And from what I understand, he never had a bar mitzvah, which is unfortunate because he didn�t get the money.� Fox apologized and said Lyons expressed remorse.

Thanks Val.

Just out of curiosity, where did you find that?

Kase - LOL. Perhaps he also has a future in the beverage distribution business.

[Valadius]

Oddly enough, the Canadian Jewish News.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Cool. I've been doing archive searches in different sources from September 2004, and I came up empty.

Thanks

The Cheezit-tooth Tiger is gone!!!!

[Guest cooby]

The new one is much prettier!

[Guest KC]

Maybe he commited a racial faux pa?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Jay Payton homered to give Oakland a 3-0 lead.

[Frayed Knot]

Now 3-3.
Coupla hits plus an error, then a Magglio Ordonez leadoff HR in the 6th tied it off Danny Haren (the former StL prospect they dealt away for the injured Mark Mulder).



Not that I mind Steve Lyons being canned (who I've thought was a dope for years now) but that statement seems more stupid than insulting and if you were going to fire him for dumb statements he wouldn't have lasted through the first practice run much less 10 years (or however long he's been at it now).

Piniella roots, like many Tampa natives, are, I believe, Cuban.

[Willets Point]

I hadn't realized this until the radio announcer mentioned it, but there are 9 players on the Tigers roster who also played for the team in the lousy 2003 season. This must be especially special for them.

or faux paw

When Houston Street pitches does that make the mound SoHo?

[Guest cooby]

Don't we have to wait for this game to be over before ours will start? They need to hurry up!

[seawolf17]

These Tigers scare me.

[seawolf17]

Sweep. Yikes!

[metirish]

Well that's how to finish things...WOW

[Valadius]

Well... better start figuring out the Tigers.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, we've got our next opponent (assuming we advance)

Magglio Ordonez - who had been quiet up til today - just smacked his 2nd HR of the day, this one a walk-off, 3R, pennant winning HR!!!!


WOW!

[Zvon]

wowzers-dramatic end.

[metirish]

Is this the end for Lou Piniella or will he be doing the WS?, I hope he's done.

They should.
I can only hope and pray we have a chance to be scared by them in the BIG SHOW.

[Willets Point]

Yay!

[metirish]

Leyland manager of the year or Torre...it's gotta be Joe with the job he did getting that shitty team to the playoffs.

You're letting yourself get too hung up on Lou there dude. Let it go.
It'll be Buck, McCarver, plus [someone] for the Series. Not sure who the 3rd man will be.



Good for Detroit.
That city, like Cincy, has a great baseball tradition that's been beat down in recent years due to bad teams and bad mgmt.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I was pulling for the Tigers, but wouldn't have minded them taking it until seven games so they weren't so rested.

I love it when the do the trophy ceremony on the field where everyone can see it.

[seawolf17]

Let me the first to warn anyone even thinking about jumping the gun on a KTE that we still have three more wins to go, and if someone fucks up the mojo, then I'm holding that person personally responsible, even if Oliver Perez gives up fourteen runs tomorrow.

Leyland is the great story-and the manager of the year, IMO.

[Willets Point]

Congrats to the Tigers. I never had to find an image of an albino pachyderm for this thread.

Brodcaster Steve Lyons fired for racial remarks during todays game.
I heard what he said too--it did occur to me that it wasnt the best, or smartest thing to say, but it wasnt THAT big a deal.
