  1. According to the (Detroit) radio guys, the pitch report from last night's game showed Cowboy Joe had 7 pitches that were balls that he called strikes, and 5 of those were thrown by Boston pitchers.

  2. a few Boston fans chanting 'ster-roids' ster-roids' when Jhonny Peralta comes to the plate.

  3. reading about Scherzer on b-r

    December 8, 2009: Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the Arizona Diamondbacks with Daniel Schlereth to the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Tigers sent Curtis Granderson to the New York Yankees. The Detroit Tigers sent Edwin Jackson to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The New York Yankees sent Phil Coke and Austin Jackson to the Detroit Tigers. The New York Yankees sent Ian Kennedy to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

    that trade came up aces for the Tigers.

      1. I will say this, Joe Buck has improved his baseball announcing 'skills' by just sounding interested in the game. I think he would sound a lot better with a guy not Tim McCarver sitting next to him.

        1. And I think McCarver would sound better with a decent play-by-play guy prompting him to make non-vacuous points.

  4. @JeffPassan: It's been 5 days, and 21 innings, since Tigers pitchers allowed a run. In that span, they've allowed 4 H, 8 BB and K'd 35.

    whoa

  5. Boston led the league with 5.27 runs/game, well ahead of the second-place Tigers at 4.91 runs/game. I'm kind of hoping they just don't score again this season.

      1. It was perfect. As long as he didn't break his neck or anything(which apparently he didn't), it like the Lasorda tumble, will be an iconic fall for years to come.

    1. I think we have different definitions of enjoyable.
      Enjoyable to me is Boston seeing their team lose every opportunity they get.

  7. between that Patriots unbelievable comeback and now the BoSox winning...good night to be in Boston

    1. Did you maybe mean a good night to be from Boston? Because I couldn't imagine a more insufferable city to be in tonight.

    2. Yesterday was the one day this year when I would cheer for the Patriots. WHO DAT?!
