I hate the Cardinals.

Yeah, me too. Cards and Red Sox both in my Bottom 4 (with Yankees and Cubs).


Substitute the Whities for the Cubs for me.

You like the Cubs. That's sad, man.


Used to be my 2nd favorite team. Probably because they were on tv every Sunday when I was a kid.

So I'll assume they are now your 3rd favorite team after the Twins and Brewers. You'd have to work pretty hard to find 3 worse teams.

My 2nd favorite team has always been the Astros. I loved Jose Cruz in the mid-80s. So yeah, my teams suck too. But at least my #3 i is the A's.

This game is over now. Damn Cardinals.

Should be a 6:00 or 6:30 local game, but I suppose they need those East Coast ratings. Tigers fans are gonna stay up anyway. Really, who else in the Eastern time zone is gonna care all that much? A's earned home-field. Reward the fans. Don't make them miss the beginning of the game because of work.

I wish they would. That's a cheapo ways to get an out and probably turn 2.

Do you know the answer? I heard the only thing they won't review is balls and strikes.

That DP the Pirates turned an inning or two ago...the dude was off the bag when he caught it at 2B.

I think they're still working on what will be replayed, and how the system will work. The players have yet to sign off on anything.

Kind of like a ball that lands three inches in fair territory called foul?  A hit that would have been a double (the best kind of hit in baseball btw)?

they need to re-sign Morneau today!

At least that way Terry Ryan doesn't get the idea to give Morneau a big contract and call that our BIG FA SIGNING.

Are you talking about the ball Mauer hit at Yankee Stadium?  I thought that ball was fair by at least six inches if not a foot.

Maybe even 3 feet.

He probably will have a good year - for another team.

Status: offline 		I'm happy for Torii.  That's about it.  I'm pulling for the Tigers be default now.

Torii is a leader even when he's not the best player:

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/det/tigers-turn-up-the-volume-to-celebrate-clinch?ymd=20131010&content_id=62786234&vkey=news_det&partnerId=ed-7670135-611872863

One thing I noticed....he looked kind of different last night.  I could have sworn he had chewing tobacco in his lower lip.  That doesn't seem very Torii to me at all.  I don't remember him chewing EVER.  So I did a search, and it's very surprising, because there's an article from this year where he speaks out against it:

http://www.thegoldseat.com/effects-of-smokeless-tobacco-on-your-dental-wellness/

I also remember poster when he played for the Twins telling kids not to chew tobacco.
