Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head!: 9/13 Game Thread, Jays at Tigers

Toronto Blue Jays at Detroit Tigers, Sep 13, 2009 1:05 PM EDT


Hi everyone.  I missed yesterday's game as I went to RFK Stadium to catch the DC United match, which didn't exactly end well, although it was as always a fantastic atmosphere.  Anyway, it sounds like I missed an exciting Jays game. 

Today's game should be an interesting one too.  Ricky Romero and Rick Porcello go at it in a battle of rookie 1st-round draft picks.  I'm sure jessef would want me to remind everyone that it's Morristown, NJ's very own (his current domicile) Rick Porcello making the start for the Bless You Boys.



 Let's go Jays!

Sorry Raburn

That catch is why we shouldn't sign Jason Bay

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2009 1:12 PM EDT reply actions  

plus, the Jays can probably get comparable results from Ruiz for less than 1/10th of the price

They shouldn't put Ruiz in the outfield either

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

You know what is going to suck

When it comes to voting for Rookie of the Year even if the stats are similiar Porcello will get the nod over Romero because he plays in States and his team is playoff bound….

Romero’s showing has not been bulletproof — he has had some bad outings

Not to say that I do not like him, just that the case for Romero not winning Rookie of the Year is not fully attributable to playing for the Jays

by aagoodfella on Sep 13, 2009 1:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thats what I mean

I know Ricky has had some poor stats, but so has Rick

Yep,

I understand you can make the argument for both of em (and others), all I mean is that if it is that close then it is going to him.

Regardless I am just happy to have a Rookie that is showing that much promise.

Good point.

Like I said there are others and you can make an argument for a bunch of players and can’t really argue with it.

Thanks god the game isn't on Sportsnet....

I am not sure I could take another game of Fletcher.

Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...

he was terrible yesterday.

I guess part was he made it obvious he hadn’t seen the jays in months

by Tom Dakers on Sep 13, 2009 1:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yep, and then he shouldn't be doing commentary if he isn't watching.

Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...

by JohnnyG on Sep 13, 2009 1:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

I thought he did the games out West. I was really surprised to hear him instead of Tabler. Considering how close Toronto is.

Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...

Isn't he in rural Illinois or something?

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2009 1:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

i think so based on his illinois weather commentary the other day

Bad Throw by Chavez

Nice job to work out of it with minimum damage.

So is Inglet hurt or something that Bautista is in last minute?

Gotta love the Central.

White Sox with a record under 500 and are in second and still kinda maybe in the race.

I don't have HD, but

I hooked up a projector and amplifier to the satellite, and voila, an 80 inch television to watch ballgames.

Can’t complain.

Well that was a weird bounce....

Sigh.

This is not going well.

It is days like today that make you appreciate...

… how much better TV is compared to Radio regardless of annoying commentators.

by Javi3r on Sep 13, 2009 2:26 PM EDT reply actions  

too bad

Hill might have been able to take second if more heads up

by aagoodfella on Sep 13, 2009 2:36 PM EDT reply actions  

bonehead fan you mean … LOL

by aagoodfella on Sep 13, 2009 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

it was an interest play....

scoot could have gone to catch the ball in the air…..

by Tom Dakers on Sep 13, 2009 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol, i wonder if the level of thought sophisticatin you attribute to them in that split second might be a bit generous

by aagoodfella on Sep 13, 2009 3:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

scoot for sure thought to not catch the ball in the air.

the runner wait till the ball fell. only question I have is if Scoot could have turned the DP that would ahve been the right move still

by Tom Dakers on Sep 13, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

yea, i was thinking more about the runner
