Tiger Beat: Bonderman's Tatoos Confuse A's, Lead To Win

Tigers W 5-2, 24-17 overall, Tied for 1st in AL Central with Twins

Holy crap. We're rolling right now. 7-3 in our last ten games, against good teams too (Yankees, Red Sox, White Sux, and A's). Mags was back last night, knocking in 2 RBIs, Cabrera was 2-4, we even had production from our catcher (no not Laird, get real; Avila of course). But the earth-shattering, "Ladies and gentlemen can I please have your attention-I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story-I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen-Cannonball!" type news of the day was that Bonderman got the win. Pretty convincingly too. 6 IP, 3 hits, 1 ER, 8 SO, and 4 BB. Not bad for a dude with a bionic arm. I doubt that Jax from Mortal Kombat could even put up numbers like this. The walks were worrisome, a season high-tying amount, and he did hit a batter with the bases loaded, walking in his only earned run, but after that he retired nine of 12 with 5 strike outs. And he put the bullpen in a position to win. I don't know what has changed about Bondo, maybe he's feeling better, maybe his shoulder has finally fully healed, or maybe he's just feeling tribal power surging through his body thanks to his ultra cool tattoos. If Voodoo can work for Pedro Cerrano in Major league, I see no reason why Bonderman can't channel the gods and ask for a little help. Sure it's no Angels in The Outfield, but a heart warming story nonetheless. So congrats Bondo. You may want to think about doing the Hakka before every start to really get that blood flowing.

  1. What the hell is up with that dirt infield? Is this a girls softball game or something?
