GAME 1
Ugggh....anyone else watching this painful first game?
Verlander was flat.
Our hitters haven't gotten going (as of the end of the 7th inning).
I can't believe Leland put in that loser Valverde!!!
The Giants are playing great...across the board.
It will probably be said the lay over was too long for the Tigers...I actually believe that this time around.
-
Pretty sad for this first one. Hope the next goes better.
-
Yes Tony I am suffering through it as well. Long lay over, long trip out west, and I think we have been patient with Valverde long enough.
That being said, the giants are playing and pitching very well in game one.
-
Yeah I'm suffering through it. I've been a die hard Tiger fan my whole life so I've suffered through worse (2003 season comes to mind ;)) Every once in awhile a team will have a game such as this one where nothing they do works and everything goes the other teams way. That's how this first game has went all night. Verlander's talent is by far the best in the entire MLB in my opinion. BUT he does have one weakness and that is he tends to have a bad outing when he is under huge pressure at the beginning of a big series like this (or like the All Star game). The only good thing to come out of this game is that they get all this bad playing out of their system now and focus on winning tomorrow night.
I never have liked Valverde and I think the team covered his saves more than anything in last seasons big "perfect season" for him. But I understand why they put him in tonight. Basically the game was already lost so bring him in to see if the "work" Jones and he did had any effect over the last week or two on his pitching. And I think it did have an effect....he got worse! :-X
Never fear though....Of the four World Series titles the Tiger have won, three of them started off with losing game 1.
-
I had to stop watching after Valverde. I honestly felt sorry for him though. Must suck to be hated so much.
-
Oh well...shake this one off boys and let's get ready for Game 2.
-
I apologize. ::)
I never watch baseball. I turned on the game and it was 1-0. Within minutes of me watching it was 3-0. I go downstairs and come back up, now it's 4-0, all within minutes of me turning it on. I'll probably make it a point to not watch tonight. ;)

GAME 2
Scary moment with that line drive off Fister's skull.
WTF? why did they not play that bunt in the 7th???? >:( >:( >:(
-
WTF? why did they not play that bunt in the 7th?
A ball bunted down the 3rd base line usually has a bit of CCW spin to it so 9 times out of 10 when it is that close to the line and still rolling it usually will roll foul. But in the world series that late in the game you should have at least taken the sure out at first base in such a tight game.
The way we have been playing so far in these first 2 games is simply shameful. Terrible at bats taking fast balls right down the center, swinging at balls WAY low and away. We wont be winning anything if they don't get their act together quickly.
-
I am starting to worry that the broom we used on the Stankees was left unattended and the Giants found it.
-
Good lord somebody needs to remember how to hit. Soldado or whatever his name is sure figured it out! Why can't Mr. Triple Crown?
-
Mr. Triple Crown needs a cool nick name Like Kungfu Panda has..lol. They will get things turned around and make a series out of it.
What scares me is the giants bull pin middle relief. :(
-
I don't think they will sweep us, but winning the WS is not looking very good. I feel bad for Fister, the poor kid has pitched three gems of games far as his end of the deal goes...yet does not have a win for any of the three great outings he has had. The offense needs to line up and apologize to that kid.

** I AGREE...HE PITCHED HIS BEST AND HELD THE GIANTS OFF AS LONG AS HE COULD- 8) -HIS TEAM-MATES FAILED HIM IN-NOT-GETTING RUNS IN. HE IS A GOOD PITCHER AND I BELIEVE HE WILL IMPROVE AND BE STRONGER IN TIME. I CONCUR WITH YOUR COMMENT TOTALLY!! **
-
I believe the Tigers will Lose the WS in either 4-or-5 games. Their poor hitting and non-ability to get runs home--have caused this disaster!! It would not surprise me if the Giants won the next 2-games straight in Detroit. >:( At least it will be over. The Tigers would have to Win 4-straight games to win the WS...I just don't see that happening--their present state of play would surely confirm it. :(
-
Series is 2-0 and it's best of 7 so they don't need to win 4 in a row yet. The way they played the first pair does not give me much confidence, and with no real closer besides Coke to fill the shoes that is a tough one as well. But with that said I never give up on my Tigers. Most people counted us out when we were 6 games back in late summer and we went on to win the division/ALCS. That's one thing about baseball anything can happen.
This year we have been a streaky team. We get on these hot hitting streaks and roll over teams. Or like right now we get on these non hitting streaks and they couldn't hit a ball off a Tee ??? But that all can change at the drop of a hat so lets just hope game three starts out with a couple good hits at the top of the lineup with AJ and maybe that will wake up Cabby and Prince and start the ball rolling to take these next home games.
I'm not throwin' in the towel just yet ;) ;D

GAME 3
This is a must win in my opinion. Our Tigers are already in a tight spot but I sure don't want to see them in a spot where they have to win 4 in a row if they lose again tonight.
I totally agree Steve, they have been very inconsistent this season and hopefully our bats will get busy tonight.
-
Game 3 thru three...first and third innings Tigers have runners at first and second with one out. Both times hit into double plays.
Hate to say it, but stick a fork in em... THERE DONE!!!!

** The 2nd. Inning they played Pathetic.. >:(..what a mess...and when again men on base...hit into double-plays. Series Over....Stick a Fork In Them...Is correct!! :( **
-
Bottom of the fifth...bases loaded, one out... Tigers do it again, a strike out and Cabrera pops up.
If I wasn't at work listening to this on the radio, I would be home watching paint dry and enjoying that a great deal more then this game!!
-
sweep
-
sweep
** Most Certainly :( **
-
I believe the sports reporter said that the batting/hitting average for the Tigers in the WS was 165...quite poor....very similar to when they lost in 2006.....then I think it was 144...for some odd reason--they just "self-destruct" in the World Series and they are seriously No-Match for the Powerful Giants Team....the Giants...get the game--won--!!

I got so disgusted after that second double play....I went to bed!!!
If they don't snap out of this and don't get their bats working, they will be swept.

** You didn't miss anything...2-straight games--they have been shut-out 2-0--this series was over when it started in S.F. >:( **

GAME 4
Let's hope this is NOT the final game of the series.
Sherzer is looking good in the 1st inning....good control and speed.
-
Agreed, but the best pitching is nothing without the bats waking up. Let's hope they do tonight.

LOL, that was my next comment...wanted to wait to see what they did in the bottom of the 1st.
(hopeful prediction: Fielder belts one out for 2 runs)
-
DAMN IT!!!! Fielder going 1 for 11 is NOT gonna do it!!!
-
Strikeout!!! Oh well at least he is consistant!! LOL
-
GOOD FRIGGIN NIGHT!!!
-
Here we go...1-0 Giants
-
GOOD FRIGGIN NIGHT!!!
LOL.
-
2-1 Tigers
-
Now THAT'S how to hit the damn ball
-
That strike out/throw out looked like World Series quality ball playing.
-
Shutting down the computer for the night...hopefully to relax and watch the Tigers hold out for a win.
-
Getting ready to leave work and head home. Try to catch the last few innings.
-
Maybe just go to bed when I get home. Just like that 3-2 Giants.
-
3-3 now!
-
Tigers scored while I was on my way to my van to leave work. Made it home in time for the last few innings.
-
I want them to win this game just so they don't get swept, but in all honesty the way we have played this entire WS is simply shameful. I don't know what happened but this certainly is not the team I have watched all year long.
-
Grandma has always said that 2 title in her life is more than she ever expected and I would be lucky to see the same. This comes from 30 year season ticket holder. 84 "Bless You Boys" are a memorable part of my life in Houston.
-
World Series Is Over--Tigers blew the game.....again!! :( A clean sweep...they didn't help themselves with poor hitting and their Big Bats did nothing but ZZzzz.....it was...."Frustrating".....to watch them play bad baseball.. >:( ..lost it to overall poor play.
