IGT: Sox @ Tigers Official In Game Thread

[Skills]

I called you dumb, that's not really a name. Learn how to debate on the internet. Of course I'm going to trash this team. Dunn just struck out again and his average is .160. Let's not make fun of him though because he is wearing the jersey we root for. No. **** that, Dunn is so shitty, as is Peavy.

A "dumb fan" is what I took out of it, which is a phrase, which is what names are. But I digress, arguing semantics isn't a smart thing to do on that there internet.

About Dunn, agreed. He's shitty as hell this season, major disappointment. Jake hasn't panned out either. But it'll be a cold day in hell when I talk shit about the team in general. There's no point. Because if and when they do start winning you'll be here singing the same tune I've been singing the entire season. Consistency young grasshopper...

The worst thing about this team is that they'll be the cockteases they have been the last couple years and stay in the race, only collapse and burn in a most hilarious way. Just go on a 25 game losing streak and put us out of our misery.

They won't start winning this year though. They will most likely finish in 3rd or 4th, but stay in the race as I said earlier.

 

[Uman85]

We're all Sox fans here. C'mon guys.

 

[Skills]

I've been a fan of em since I was 3 so STFU.

lol, point being? We're in the same boat capt. redundant. I've been a fan since the same age in a family full of Cubs fans. I don't see where this is going though...

 

[Uman85]

Being a fan entitles you to your own opinion and view of the team. I appreciate your optimism, Skills. I also understand how october and Capt. Serious feel. They're frustrated because this team should be above .500 and performing much better than they are. Their criticism is their way of showing frustration because they want this team to win.

 

[october23sp]

It's not about when we became fan. Some of us have seen the bullshit this team has put on the field all year and can predict the outcomes of games easily and some people are unreasonably optimistic.

The biggest knock with this team (besides Rios, Peavy, and Dunn) is the fact that they can score an unlimited number of runs in innings 1-5, but if they are down late, they will not score shit in innings 6-9, even against crappy relievers. Just annoying.

Key phrase is underlined. Counting your chickens before they hatch isn't a smart practice...

 

[october23sp]

No I'm saying it will be 3rd or 4th, I just don't know which one it will be.

 

[Skills]

We're 4 games back and we're 2 games under .500. If you don't think this division is still winnable you need your mlb card revoked.

 

[october23sp]

It's still winnable for the Tigers, Indians, and Twins. Have you watched the Sox in big games this year? They fold like a god damn card table.

 

[Skills]

lol with that logic may as well throw KC into the mix too then.

 

[Uman85]

Great at-bat by AJ. Nice way to draw a walk.

 

[october23sp]

lol with that logic may as well throw KC into the mix too then.

The Twins are the Twins and will always be around. Really, the Tigers are the best team in the division but for whatever reason they don't play like it.

Meanwhile, faux rally time! And Beckham can't even bunt.

 

[october23sp]

:woot: Love the faux rally.

 

[Uman85]

I don't think I can count on my fingers the number of games we should've won this year. This one included. Disappointing end today. Hope for an Indians loss and head on to KC.

 

[AE23]

Ozzie again yankin some one too late.

 

[october23sp]

Waiting for Kool-Aids take on this. :waiting:

They don't score when they are down late.

 

[Skills]

Seems like it's the "cool" thing to say now but I'll sip it gladly. We took 2-3 to a team we couldn't touch before. We touched up the best pitcher in the AL pretty good, just wish we had more consistency.

Tastes pretty good.

 

[Uman85]

I agree Skills. I'm happy they took 2 of 3. It's frustrating they couldn't get the sweep when they were so close. Hope they carry this momentum to KC and sweep the Royals.
