The Swamp

I do, however, appreciate their efforts to help Syracuse stumble their way to a 6-6 record and a bowl game. So, you have that going for you (smiley emoticon here).

DSafetyGuy

For a guy who is not a speed or "sick moves" kind of guy, Matt Forte has a sensational jump cut (see 50-yard TD run today when highlights come available for you).

DSafetyGuy

Hey, Verlander still starts tomorrow, right?

DSafetyGuy

Six outs away from thankfully not caring about baseball any more this season.

DSafetyGuy

Phil Coke, please get ready for the inevitable Ortiz at-bat this inning.

DSafetyGuy

Of course that was strike three. Of course.

"Bullpen Adventure Hour" is now on your television.

Between his lack of steals, GIDPs, and that pick-off, I'm pretty sure Austin Jackson is the slowest fast guy in MLB.

DSafetyGuy

The only thing the Tigers taking the lead really means is that the Sawx will see at least two relievers tonight, including Benoit. This is one hell of a silver lining for them.

My preferred method of ignoring Buck and McCarver is to read long magazine articles online during the game with the volume on a little lower than if I was just watching the game. Read a sentence or short paragraph, look up to watch pitch. Return to reading. The thud of pitch in mitt or crack of bat ...

Luckily the Lakers are about to get started.

To make you understand how bad losing can be so you feel better about the Dodgers and Bruins' successes?

"Game ball."

Not really feeling the "at least the Tigers have Scherzer and Verlander" story line.

He wasn't getting Middlebrooks unless he opted not to pirouette and go with the direct route to him.

DSafetyGuy

Very courteous of Peralta to fight back from a 3-1 count by swinging and missing at two pitches well off the plate.

DSafetyGuy

Nice of the Red Wings to welcome Roy back to the NHL with his first coaching loss. Wonder if there is any of the old rivalry still floating around, as McLeod got a misconduct in the first for the 'Lanche and Miller and Sarich fought in the second.

DSafetyGuy

I think I'm going to really enjoy watching the defensive highlights posted by Iglesias over the next several years.

DSafetyGuy

The Detroit TiGIDPers.

I found it most annoying that Cabrera laid off the first outside pitch, but not the second after getting suckered by him on outside stuff in Game 3.

DSafetyGuy

It's like they're trying. Come on, Miggy.

DSafetyGuy

I'm here. Didn't realize we had enough Swampers for significant in-game commentary, like in the good ol' days.

DSafetyGuy

Gregg Popovich for President.

Oh, wait, that wouldn't really do anything.

Witchcraft.

Or pity.

4pm start today with slim chance of rain in the forecast at first pitch becoming much more likely around 7-8pm.

Of course, I went to bed on it, too and regret that.

The local media reports today said that Scherzer told Leyland he was done after the 7th (and Leyland was planning on lifting him at that point, anyway).

DSafetyGuy

Eighth and ninth have been everything bad about the Tigers all season long - shaky bullpen and bad infield defense, especially at the corners (Cabrera couldn't even move for that grounder). ETA: At least I didn't have to stay up really late to watch the misery of how it ended. And Scherzer's pitch c...

Make it three consecutive postseason games where one team's starting pitcher has gone five (or more) hitless innings.

DSafetyGuy

Funny part about the home plate umpiring last night:

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

DSafetyGuy

I think Leyland's prevailing thought tonight with handling his pitching staff was, "Fuck it, I have Verlander on regular rest for Game Five if we win." Of course, he can't feel good about going to pretty much anyone if Verlander has to be relieved. Sanchez was lousy in his start (3 HR in u...

We've moved. Our stuff? Well, sort of? At least our cars will show tomorrow, two days ahead of schedule.

And Wegman's is our local grocery store.

RE: Tipping the movers... Since our stuff is only one part of the entire truckload going across the country, I'm not sure if the guys picking up will be the same as the guys dropping off. Thus, do I tip the guys who pick up? The guys who deliver? Both? Yeah, probably both. Though a lot of depends o...

My last job interview was something like six years ago. Just reading this thread makes me happy that this is the case.

Tigers are no-hit and Marlins win on a wild pitch for the walk-off (run-off?).

Henderson Alvarez has a no-hitter through 7. Totally overshadowing Verlander's 10 K effort.
