A brief blurb in the Chicago Trib this morning said Anibal felt a sharp pain in his pec during a throwing session ...and the Trib mentioned this might mean he would be done for the year. :o :unsure: Tell me it ain't so.

Yes, DD posted to that effect last night. :(

Dr Andrews said it's ONLY a pec strain. So with rest, he would probably be available for the playoffs but hopefully in three weeks.

 
Looks like tonight's home plate umpire has a plane to catch as his zone is huge. I am guessing a player and/or manager will get run for arguing balls and strikes before this one is over.

This team is unwatchable. Never been so painful to watch a team. It is tough to place the blame on Ausmus, but damn.

You have to start wondering if this team has the right manager. DD has spent 171.5M on the payroll this year, third only to Dodgers and Yankees, worked out extensions to Miggy and VJ in the amount of 428M, whatever this team has needed management has gone out and gotten, i.e. starting pitching, bullpen help. Not many teams in the history of the game have had three cy young winners on the roster at the same time. Injuries hurt, but this team still has the best talent in the A.L.

Take your choice:

Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

One taco short of a combination plate.

Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.

Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

Can't count his balls and get the same answer twice.

The wheel's spinning but the hamster's dead.

Put a lens in each ear and you've got a telescope.

 
To make things worse for Mike Illitch they found and arrested his son last night in some flea bag Detroit hotel cracked out with some hooker.

 
Verlander is consistently 95/96 tonight.

I really believe he'll be back to being at least borderline elite next year, but it's mostly mechanics with him right now and that oblique/core injury has definitely lingered and messed with his motion.

He really needs to start using the cutter more though, I think that is his next progression as a great pitcher.

 
Big Nick is going to be quite a hitter IMO, starting to show the power potential. He just hit a ball on a line to the base of the wall, into the wind, that was five feet over the RF's head. Beauty.

Again, why the #### is Cabrera playing first base??????? Jesus Christ Ausmus, are you a moron?

Just to be clear, you're suggesting VMart plays there?
Click to expand...
Yeah.

Two days in a row ball is thrown to 1B on a pickoff attempt, ball ends up in RF and the runner goes to third. Both errors charged on the pitcher but Cabrera is limping into the OF trying to retrieve the ball. He also screwed up a pick-off attempt the other night against Gardner. Why Ausmus keeps running him out there is anyone's guess, only Brad knows what the #### Brad's doing.

 
And when Miggy singles to lead off the 8th, why not put in a PR? They needed a rally there. They avoided problems by having Miggy run on VMart's full count, which avoided a DP, but I don't know they keep him in in that situation. Lots of Ks for Max ...just had too many bad pitches mixed in.

 
They need to DL Cabrera. I don't give a #### if they think it makes no difference, this is awful. He's ####### hurt, DL him. I can accept not making the playoffs because of it, get him right because they have no chance with him being half-### like this.

 
I think I know the Tigers better than 998 out of 1000 fans.

I have no idea who this pitcher is, but he is pretty ### #### good so far tonight. :hifive:

Well, he pitched pretty bad in AA. Pitched very well in AAA. And now is pitching outstanding in the Majors. Sign the kid long term before he is asking $30 mil per year.

 
I thought it was too good to be true. Tigers winning, Royals losing with a chance to get back to a tie for first. Now both games are turning.

 
Doctor Detroit said:
PUT MIGGY ON THE DL PLEASE!!!!
Click to expand...
They need to stop giving way to their players pride. Both Miggy and JV should have started the season on the DL until they were 100% ready. Instead they decide they can push through and the team gives way and we have to worry about either of them being just completely average or going on the DL in the middle of a run.

GAME NOTES

-- Miguel Cabrera is not in the starting lineup today after he aggravated his right ankle injury Saturday night in the second game of a doubleheader against the White Sox. Manager Brad Ausmus said Sunday morning that Cabrera remains day-to-day.

-- Rick Porcello has been very good this season. But he's been substantially better on the road than he has been at home. Porcello is 9-4 with a 2.41 ERA and a 1.062 WHIP in 15 games (14 starts) away from Comerica Park this season.

-- Porcello has a 2.33 ERA and a 0.981 WHIP in 54 innings pitched since the All-Star break regardless of whether he is at home or on the road.

-- A day after the White Sox traded outfielder Alejandro De Aza to the Baltimore Orioles, they made yet another trade. The White Sox sent designated hitter/first baseman Adam Dunn to the Oakland Athletics in a trade Sunday morning.

-- The forecast for Chicago calls for partly cloudy skies and highs around 80 degrees with no chance of rain. A few days ago, it looked as if rain might affect all four games in the series, but here we are.

As awful as August was, three outs away from a share of the division lead.

What we didn't want was a three team race, Indians fan. I would have much rather had the Royals win two of three and be two games back, being tied for first means little.

I did think they'd be five games back at this point, but the Royals are equally inept.

Also Suarez is no more than a utility player, his play at SS is woeful.

You'd be great at writing telegraphs.
