Unexpected visitor on the field at Miller Park.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Liriano pitches no no!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

It was certainly an eventful one too! 123 pitches, only 66 of them strikes. 6 walks, 2 strikeouts. Came into the game with a 9.13 era. Never would have guessed it. He's never pitched a complete game shutout in the Majors or Minor leagues. It helped that the Twins finally played some stout defense behind him. Hopefully it will help turn the season around for them.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Crazy season so far.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Very!!!! I am enjoying it though since the first 6games.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

BIG Mike got his 1K Win... :tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

That's because you Rays have turned it around...can't say the same for my Mets. :D

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

We are playing well!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

No-No by Verlander. Missed this one. I saw him throw his first a couple years ago. Walked one in the 8th to miss out on a perfect game, and he was throwing in triple-digits in the bottom of the 9th. Just like he was in his first no-no.

Anyone know of any MLB Field that allows CIGAR Smoking??? -(P

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

I believe the Trop has a cigar bar :tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Last I heard the Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers) had a Comacho Cigar lounge. I think the Pirates had something similar, but it may have closed with the smoking ban. Cigar bars are exempt in Michigan's smoking ban, and hence the Comacho lounge is exempt.

Life after Curtis Granderson.

I miss him anyway.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Austin Jackson is pretty good, and he wasn't the only player included in that deal.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

I like Jackson, but he hasn't made me forget Curtis, Mike.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Curtis Granderson is a STUD!!!! And one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He gave my wife a pair of game used batting gloves and signed them when we was in AAA.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Agreed on all accounts....miss seeing him in Tiger colors, Mac. :(

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez resigns. Injuries decimated his team this year. I believe this man is a good manager.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

I'm hoping Ozzie or Greg Walker get the boot. Or both. Hopefully JR can wake up and get some fire under this team.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Everyone see last nights "fight"? Big Papi and Kevin Gregg throwing haymakers and not hitting a damn thing. :r :r :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Anyone else watch a drunk Justin Timberlake interviewed at the All-Star Game?

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

NL wins 5-1...goes to show you that good pitching stops good hitting. :D

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

How can you say that, and still claim to be a loyal Mets fan? :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Am a very loyal Mets fan...and we don't have good pitching...or good hitting. :r :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

What do ya know, the White Sox won tonight:D

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

At what point will everybody start watching Dan Uggla closely?
Now that he's passed 30 my interest has perked up.
If he approaches 40, I'll be completely wrapped up in it!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

What's he hitting now? .210?? :r :r :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Good enough to start for the Mets :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

That's a big negative Ghost Rider!! :su

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Sounds like the truth to me haha.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Tiger's are beginning their meltdown. Unbelievable that they can't win this crappy division. Not a week after they extended Dombrowski and Leyland. I can't complain about Dombrowski, but Leyland should have had to wait to see if he won the division this year. No win, no contract. His resting of 4 starters when playing the 2nd place Indians in a 3 game series is rediculous. Their 4 game lead could turn into a 1 game lead if they don't get their crap together tonight. Having Verlander on the mound should help.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Dan Uggla led off the second with a Homerun!
32 games, I'm more into this than I thought! :tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Only 25 more to go. :D

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Uggla gets a single...33 in a row.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Well he was born and raised in a south suburb of Chicago and went to U of I Chicago. That would explain his good nature:r Wish he would come back home and play for the Sox:D

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

And so the streak ends at 33.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

I will be surprised when somebody breaks DiMaggio's streak.

I'll be dead looooong before somebody breaks Cy Young's. ;)

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Tigers acquire Delmon Young from the Twins.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Jim Thome hits his 599th & 600th HR tonight. :tu :tu Great accomplishment from one of the games good guys. Thome always did it the right way.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Congrats Jim!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Thome's the man.:tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Definitely a class act! Congrats to Mr. Thome!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

I was at the game when he hit 500. It was even Jim Thome bobble head night. It was the only game I could make it to in 2007, guess I was lucky to go to that one:tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Congratulations on number 600 from a Red Sox fan. You have always been a worthy opponent who was fun to watch. Your place in the Hall of Fame is secure.:tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Braves don't fear the Beard!!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

The White Sox had 5 triples last night. JP had a great game including a dinger:r Ozzie still pissed me off last night..
