Getting out of that inning giving up only 1 run was big. That could have been a lot worse.
Tigs down 0-1
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
That was big. Gotta figure out how to get some runs now.
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
Does anyone have a stream for this game?
I wish atdhe covered baseball..
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
Fucking Leyland why is he starting BINGE? FIRE LEYLAND NOW!!!!!!!!!!
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
What a troll bush fucker. That ass-ear-fuck-lick-dick-ass-guy.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
You guys should get a room.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
and you should go on your own comedy tour.
August 24th, 2011 at 12:15 AM ^
Dude I'm up for getting a room. We should prolly use the Holiday Inn Express. ;-)
August 23rd, 2011 at 11:54 PM ^
Inge has more value vs LHP than Betemit does. That's probably why.
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
I keep telling myself "Brad Penny is not a bad #5. Brad Penny is not a bad #5."
I'm a filthy liar.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
Brad Penny can be serviceable as long as he isn't sent out there for the 7th inning.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:06 PM ^
Penny has done tremendous tonight. Unfortunately I just don't see us winning this game for whatever reason. I really appreciate what Penny has done tonight though. He is doing much better at night.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
I will take this from Penny any day. Seems to have settled down after a shaky start.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
Mario and Rod keep talking about how he has said he hates mornings and doesn't "wake up" until after noon. For whatever reason he had like 15 day starts in a row (even after line-up switches and everything) to start the season. Maybe there really was something to that because he pitches far better at night.
August 24th, 2011 at 12:33 AM ^
In case you have not caught on by now, Mario and Rod will say anything to excuse the struggles of a player. If there is no excuse, they will try their best to ignore it.
They are bought-and-paid for shills. Rod in particular is far more concerned with being the players' friend than he is with delivering honest commentary to the audience. He is like the anti-Steve Stone.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
Great work from Avila after going down 0-2.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:33 PM ^
hmm...inge strikes out to end the inning. anyone with thoughts on the matter?
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:45 PM ^
Inge has always sucked. Inge will always suck. Inge's patented check swing strikeout sucks. Inge's forearm tattoos suck. Inge's goofy ass goatee sucks. The fact that, if allowed, Inge would have won the Tigers fan favorite player of the game award while being on the Toledo Mud Hens sucks. If Inge was swallowed by the earthquake today, he would still suck.
The fact that Inge can drive a golf ball 300 yards, dunk a basketball, and hit the roof of Ford Field punting a football sucks.
Unfortunately, Inge's suckitude is the best we have on many nights.
(Every team needs a scapegoat, I choose to blame Inge. Ryan/Ryanne/Ryne Rayborn/Rayburns/Raburn is next in line)
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:46 PM ^
I actually don't mind how Inge is being used since his return. I like him as a defensive replacement late in games and don't mind if he gets a start every now and then. As long as he's not an everyday starter.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
Great outing from Penny. Can't expect much more from him. Battled out of some jams, only gave up 1. Hopefully we can hold the win for him.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:45 PM ^
C&C Music Factory, House of Pain and Naughty by Nature . . . it's an early '90s party at Tropicana Field!
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^
Can't forget a little Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
trolololo at the rays game nice
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:50 PM ^
They were just playing Eduard Khil's "Trololo" over the PA system!
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:16 PM ^
Even though his stay in the rotation didn't work out that well, Phil Coke has been a beast out of the pen this year. Again.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Why do the Rays have such terrible fan support? This is a team that's 12 games over .500. They still have an outside chance at the playoffs.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:29 PM ^
It's the fact that St. Petersburg has beaches and some would be fans go there instead.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
Also, the stadium is in a terrible location and not very convenient to get to.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
If the beaches are that big of a draw, MLB shouldn't have given them a franchise.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:52 PM ^
But both LA teams are drawing top 10 attendances this year, and their beaches aren't too shabby either.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
Too many people who are transplants from Northern cities, not enough locals. Those who are locals had already established a favorite team before the Rays showed up.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
Brutal stadium.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
The compromising pictures of DD and JL that Inge obviously has must really be outrageous.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
Just read that's 13 left on base for Inge in the four games he's played since being recalled.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
Sorry.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
swung on that wild pitch, at least from the side view. Strange that Mario and Rod didn't even mention that.
Oh well doesn't matter, still got the out. Big win for the Tigers, looked like a big mismatch on paper with the pitching matchup.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
good win! 12 games over .500 now
August 23rd, 2011 at 11:06 PM ^
Wow surprising win to say the least. Penny was wild, yet very effective getting some quick outs and bad swings. Phil Coke should get an Iron Man award tonight with that 6 out save.
August 24th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
Tonight was my "That's it. This division is ours" moment (yes, I had them in 2006 and 2009 as well).
When you win against a very good team on the road in a Penny vs. Price pitching matchup and your two best relievers aren't available, it might be your year. I'm geeked.
August 24th, 2011 at 1:10 AM ^
Well, we're fucked now that you jinxed us! Can't wait to see Inge and Magglio go 0-10 in game 163!
