I.S.T. Tigers vs. MFYs

[Gwreck]

Delmon Young with a cheap MFY-Stadium homer to right gives the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the first.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

MFYs already getting lucky to tie it as Rogers reaches on a WP strike 3 and scores after the the Tigers screw up a force play and elect not to throw him out at home. 1-1

[Frayed Knot]

Yo Tigers, could you at least make them get the ball out of the fucking infield in order to score their runs?

THIS will be remembered at next CPF meetup Bucket...

Christ, even driving rain can't move Sabathia to jog to the dugout at inning's end.

[Frayed Knot]

And here come da rains.

OMFG, the TBS studio crew are awful, right now they are fellating Jeter, running down all his "great" plays down the years...ugh...David Wells is terrible...."I mean, I mean , I mean"...STFU fat bastard....Eckersley?....a clown ....hey they stopped talking about Jeter.....only because they went to ad breaks.

[Gwreck]

You thought you were getting Verlander - Sabathia...but if this rain keeps up, you're gonna get Brad Penny - AJ Burnett.

They should try a drumstick and a fishing pole.

[G-Fafif]

Where's there MFYs, there's unnecessary melodrama.

[MFS62]

A normal MFY game seems endless without a rain delay.
Get yourselves ready for Breakfast with Suzyn.

Later

[G-Fafif]

Suspended. They'll pick it up Saturday night. And in some way, it will suck.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

2nd and 3rd, nobody out for the MFYs to start.

Not a problem for Amigos de los Tigres, when those two are catchers who run like it. No runs across. (Fisted!)

[Frayed Knot]

This Fister guy looked good for a while (Fister? I hardly even know her!) but as soon as Russell Martin hit the typical one-out/two-on Yanqui dribbler that's too slow & shitty to be turned into a DP (so now it's 2nd & 3rd instead of out of the inning) I got a bad feeling.
Fister then had the next three hitters 0-2 but failed to get any of them out even though none hit the ball particularly well (2RBI single, single, walk). Then came the almost predictable Grand Slam.
Could have been no runs that inning, instead it was six.


So now not only are the Yanx up 1 game to none but they did so by winning the game which Verlander started without having to actually face Verlander.

You'd think Fister would have changed his name at some point.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He didchange his name. Tha'ts what he changed it to.

5 hitless innings from Max Scherzer to start the game for the Tigers.

Got to like that! Up 4-0 on near-Met Freddie Garcia.

[Frayed Knot]

4-0 bottom 7 although the no-hitter is gone on a Cano broken bat bloop (there may be left-fielders slower than Delmon Young but you'd have to do a pretty thorough search before you found one).

Perhaps the best part was - right after the usual booth talk about Jeter being clutch and all in October - he grounds out with two-on to end the inning then starts the next one with a throwing error which led to the 3rd & 4th run.


Scherzer still throwing.

[Gwreck]

Scherzer put two men on in the bottom of the 7th and now we're into the Tiger 'pen.

[metirish]

Valverde motion is so like Benitez eh?.....and he's in the process of fucking up the game, non save situation but now it's 5-3 with two out and two on.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Mr. Clutch strikes out in the ninth inning with ducks on the pond.

[G-Fafif]

When did Luis Castillo take up catching?

He struck out in his previous AB with 2 on.

,

you know Jeter oiled that on deck pad up after the SO, see, always thinking .

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Phew!

Tigers fans at work are going nuts this week. We're bonding over the common enemy.

Jeter is an oily bastard, but Armando from Michigan survives.

[Frayed Knot]

Who among us didn't have a sinking feeling when Avila slipped on that on-deck circle giving the Skanks another chance?

Oh, you didn't you say? ... fucking liar!!

[Ceetar]

There is nothing worse than Derek Jeter scoring a run.
