Good!

Where's my eight runs in the ninth?

[Tigermojo]

I wonder when the last time was our bullpen gave up five runs.

[Sports_Freak]

Worst loss of the season? It seems like a long time since we've been blown out so bad.

[IdahoBert]

I had high hopes after Carpenter hit that lead off homer. I thought we’d keep doing it all night.

And Dickerson is speculating that the Mize spot in the rotation this time thru may be a chaos game. Montero would be on short rest. Who else do we have stretched out? Manning? Last I saw, his AAA ERA was quite high.

Manning is done.

Tigers were due for an ass-kicking.

Texas has great pitching. Especially their starting. First 2 games they've had our number. Tigers have to get their bats together, hopefully for 1 game tomorrow.

Yeah, they both pitched on the day of the DH. I wonder why Dan thought that?

He's still on the 40 man roster though. But he's struggled, big time, for the last year. I remember he had a few spot starts last season. Maybe did OK in a couple

Dan has been missing all sorts of stuff lately little slips of the tongue that he never used to make like getting names mixed up. It worries me that something might be going on with him.

Really your number comes up sometime. 

[IdahoBert]

The Padres have laid 20 runs on the Rockies in Denver and it ain’t over yet

[IdahoBert]

Everyone including us in the Central division lost today except the Twins who pulled up to .500 with a 20–20 record.

I only hear him when he's on TV. I just figured he had some insider info, like maybe Hinch told him Montero wasn't available.

I’m officially on record as being concerned about Flaherty. With Cobb’s track record you really don’t know when he’ll be ready. And with Mize out for a couple of weeks the starters have to be good enough for quality starts. 
I’m not getting a positive vibe from Flaherty here.

Also he’s been calling more plays wrong before they happen and he has to reverse himself. Maybe we just didn’t notice it before.

Dan Dickerson is 66 its not  like its unheard of to get a little more forgetful at the age

It's very common to forget names when you are in your 60s.  It happens to me frequently.  It doesn't matter too much in my work, because I don't need to say names much.  It's more difficult for a broadcaster who doesn't have the option of just not sayig the name or hesitating until he gets it right.  For example, if Framber Valdez is pitching, I can imagine an older broadcaster have Ismael on his mind and just saying it.

That's another thing that can easily happen to a healthy older person, but when you have a very public job it can get magnified.  It can certainly be a problem if it becomes too frequent but I wouldn't be concerned that "something is going on".

Flaherty’s gotta be tipping. 

He only eats the Oreo when he's throwing a fastball.

Or perhaps this Valdez.

The Rockies might not get to 40 wins this year.  Heck, playing in that division, they may not hit 30.     White Sox, your stain only lasted one year.
