Game 40 Open Thread - Tigers (16-24) at Royals (18-21)

Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals, May 15, 2008 2:10 PM EDT


No fancy game thread post today, as I'm totally dead right now thanks to a 7:30 AM final I had to administer this morning.

The Epic (6.31 ERA) looks to lead the Royals to a potentially crushing sweep of the Tigers.

Longtime readers know well enough my thoughts on Kenny Rogers.

I don't like not having Gordon, Dejesus, Grudz.

I want to take advantage of sweeps when the opportunity presents itself.

Grudz

kinda surprises me know he is older but also a .500+ hitter against Kenny

I would flip Callaspo and Gator, and I’d probably rather see Callie at 3B with Germie at 2B, but whatever.

by philofthenorth on May 15, 2008 1:59 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

callie's the better defender

but perhaps you are suggesting this because germie’s more comfortable at 2B?

The major change I’d make would involve removing Pena altogether, putting Callaspo at ss, and then depending on which of Gordon and DDJ get the start, have either Teahen or Gordon man 3rd.

Honestly, I hadn’t noticed.

Maybe he just needed an extra month to get hot. Maybe the Royals need to start spring training in January.

I certainly made no pre-judgements. But he was doing very, very badly.

You might be right - I may have mixed up Banny and Greinke. But the point . . .

is that Meche has not been hitting the other teams’ aces, he’s been up against guys like Rogers. I wonder if that was deliberate on Hillman’s part, which would be pretty savvy, because he would have effectively made Meche a #4 without doing anything overt.

please PLEASE

Finish us off!!! I’m a Detroiter who is mainly a lurker here, but I emplore you… FINISH THIS TEAM OF OLD AND SLOW DH’S OFF!!! I’ve never hated a Tiger team like this one… in all those years we sucked, we were supposed to suck. Thanks, Mr. Dombrowski, for forgetting everything you knew prior to 2006 and bringing us Gary Sheffield, Edgar Renteria, Miguel Cabrera, and Dontrelle Wiilis. Thanks also for making sure that we locked up Willis and Nate Robertson for the long term… wouldn’t want them to get away. Nice fantasy team here, Dave… players with no gloves, no range, and no speed, meekly bouncing into DP’s and popping out. GO ROYALS!!! BEAT OUR BRAINS IN!!!
