good night and good luck on your tests.

Pennington - single

If they try to steal, Dolsi better hit the ground with Dustys power throw to 2nd.

Davis - grounds out!!!!

Ridiculous.

I agree what has it been, 2 or three times we had bases loaded???

My buddy is a Yankee fan (I know...I rip on him all the time) and he said we have "Stud Lineup Disease." When the lineup has studs from top to bottom, it takes the pressure of each hitter, subconsciously. Each hitter goes up to bat and in the back of their mind they always feel that if they don't come through, the next guy will pick me up.

I'm not sure what it is, but it stinks and it is not fun to watch.

:edgar:

This ump blows, too.

I agree with your friend!

Now we need a CLUTCH hit.

:curtis: single, runner out at 2nd

Wasn't that a balk?

Polly choked. Sad. His at bat looked terrible.
That is the story of this season. The pitching has gone downhill and the hitting has been a choke-laden under-performance.

I hate submarine pitchers!

:placido:

Tigers lose 2-3

Looked like a balk to me! Stupid umps!

Sad thing is Nate pitched a gem, the bullpen sucked!

Do you remember the last Tiger submarine pitcher?

No, who was it, Hiller?

I like sidearm pitchers, and used to throw that way myself. But sub pitchers look funny.

I think it was a guy who wasn't around long. Sheldon Burnside.
Late 70's. I was young and we thought it was cool! Quisenberry, Tekulve...it was just weird!

I wouldn't want to hit against one, though. Freaky.

Oh yea, you never know where the ball is going to go after they throw it!

I will look around and see if I can remember who it was... I do remember one though, like you said.

Was at least 5 degrees cooler than the scoreboard said it was tonight
