Tiger's Weekender: Texas Two Steps All Over Us

Friday: Tigers L, 4-5
Saturday: Tigers W, 8-4
Sunday: Tiger L, 4-8 (10-9 overall, 3 games back from Twins)
Howdy there folks. This weekend has been wild. It's probably the wild place we were playing. In fact they should probably just call it the wild, wild west. Shit is so wild, they should probably get Will Smith or some other mediocre rapper to talk about it. I know. Enough already. Here's what happened this weekend.

Friday: Shit was looking up. We tie the game in the top of the ninth, 4-4, after AJax and Damon get on and Mags of course knocks them in. Bottom 9. For some unknown reason, probably "this game isn't close to being over cus we just scored two runs so I better not shut them down with my closers," Leyland allows Fu Te-Ni comes back out after doing well in the 8th, so not that questionable. Dude might as well have taken a shit on the mound. Ni walks Rangers ROOKIE Justin Smoak, who's playing in his major league debut (could have bowled these pitches to this guy, he's so jacked up to be hitting in the bottom of the 9th,....). A sac bunt later, he's on second and so Ni has to walk the next guy to put someone on first. Perry comes in. Perry WALKS the pinch hitter, Nelson Cruz, and then gives up the game winning single on an 0-2 pitch to Andrus. So close but so far away. Shit got away from us and it's frustrating. Strange play of the night: The Tigers fell behind, 3-0, in the fourth when Avila corralled the baseball with his mask and was called for an error, forcing Guerrero home from third base. Fielders by rule can't use any of their equipment to stop the ball. It is a two-base error. Avila didn't think home-plate umpire Mike Everitt saw what happened. But first-base umpire Andy Fletcher came in and ruled that Avila's mask had in fact stopped the ball. "That's tough," Avila said. "It's a little embarrassing."Its super embarrassing actually. I'm embarrassed and Im a fan. You're the person it actually happened to. Have a little pride and quit being ok with making game costing errors. Asshole.

Saturday: Tigers won 8-4. We scored more runs than they did. About sums it up. Bonine did a great job throwing some middle relief during the game. That sentence is funny cus its true.

Sunday: This loss is all Porcello's fault. 10 hits and 6 runs in the first two innings. Embarrassing. For me and my fantasy team. Shit son. This is his second shitty start in a row, he gave up six runs in 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday against the Angels. The bigger problem, aside from Porcello sucking at life recently, is the bullpen is now up to 66 innings in 19 games. That's 3 1/2 innings per game, which means the starters on average aren't getting out of the sixth inning. Not this shit again. Guys, come on. Workout. Eat right. Throw six inning of 90 mph fastballs to major league hitters without giving up runs. Your lives are not that difficult. I mean jesus...
