Just placed my LARGEST ever wager on...

[AC]

well lets hope the detriot pitcher falls apart right now

runners at first and second with two straight walks

one out and the pitching coach is out visiting.

AC

I didn't get that graphic...didn't come through on my screen. What was it?


Two on, one out, Kent up...who's on the Dodger train with me?

ps. Jeff Kent at the plate

I dunno. I hear that argument, but given that pennant races are often won by a game or two, if I were a manager, I would do what I could to win every game. If that meant pulling a starter in the first inning, I do it. If it means bringing my closer in to get a critical strikeout in the fifth, I do it. Do what you can to win.


Why every manager plays by the EXACT same book is puzzling. Our most vaunted heroes, in every aspect of life, are always those who go against the grain, not with it.

Politics in baseball are as important as the politics in any other work environment. Unless your guy is injured you can't take him out, besides even the best pinch hitter is no "lock" for anything.

I think I have a new favorite player.


Olmaedo Saenz for the hall of fame!!!

Time for this thread to move to the Baseball area, it now qualifies as a "covers" special.

I got nervous with every pitch from the shaky Derek Thompson, waiting anxiously for the vaunted Dodger bullpen to take over.


But there is no one I'd want to see less than Scott Erickson. What a washed up scrub.

And there you go...boom, Pudge without the steroids still goes long.

Is LA trying to lose?

The offense for the Dodgers is atrocious to begin with. Add to that this lineup of replacements (Edwards, Repko, Perez and Saenz in the starting lineup?!) and this really doesn't bode well...

Saenz is hitting .360 vs lefties. I'd have been worried if they went with Heep Seep Fielders Choi-ce

 

[dogs24]

So the lineup has three or four non-regulars, Dodgers get the lead in the mid-innings and bring in the 6.9something ERA Scott Erickson, and some guy whose name I can't pronounce is warming in the pen...just called up.


Um, did the Dodgers take the day off? Scully said early there was a 'picnic' like atmosphere at the game...great timing.

Fielders = The good ship Cecil ... :digit:

 

[dogs24]

Good fundamental ball being played by the Tigers.

This is the game here, in the 6th inning. Momentum will dictate the rest of the way and the Dodgers will have difficulty coming back from a deficit.

If the Dodgers can hold the Tigs here, I believe they win. But I don't know if the Dodgers score another run tonight...so they better hold em to no more than one (for a tie).
Putting a rookie in this position of stress is scary.

LETS GO TIGERS

I like your chances, the home team seems to scratch out the close games.

Good Luck

I would venture to say...game over.

The games not over yet but don't you think the honorable thing to do would be to admit you lied about the wager ?

C'mon buddy, do the right thing. Your dignity, credibility and accountability will almost certainly rise in all but the blindest of eyes.

[dogs24]

Eh? I did not lie. Have a wager on LA to win over 6 grand...with adjusted lines for going over the limit, I have well over 7 Gs on the game. And I'm gonna lose it all. Pathetically.

 

[Kiss1]

Eh? I did not lie.

Yea, and the pig in my back yard can fly.

You had a chance to come clean.

Later kid, better luck next time.

Tying run on triple deck...

pray for LA!
