If Texas Keeps this game close I don't see Tigers winning.
Good luck Tiger backers, but not sure I like the way this is going thus far.

Its the third inning with the score 1 to nothing and youre saying congrats to people who played tigers. wow! Are you trying to jinx them or something? lolOriginally posted by moneylineComment -
Nope. I've just watched enough baseball to know when a team is about to destroy another team ... and it appears that is about to happen even earlier than I thought. Who would have thunk it? Me, that's who.Comment -
2-0 and counting ... if Benson had 50 more pitches, he couldn't have gotten one past Guillen ...Comment -
Funny thing is, neither run is on Benson ... the first is on Salty for messing up the swinging bunt and the 2nd one is because of Young's ole defense ...Comment -
ok well we will see what happens. long ways to go in this one.Originally posted by moneylineComment -
8-2 final with Galarraga going 7+ (with the way the Rangers are not working the counts and the way the ump has expanded the zone) ...Comment -
Moneyline has blessed my Tigers play. I now have God and Girl Behind the Fence on my side!!
Comment -
We need more runs. Galarraga is not THIS good to shut out the Texas lineup.Comment -
What do you mean more runs? More than 0? I'd agree with that.Comment -
More runs by either side. It doesn't really matter to me.Originally posted by moneylineComment -
We need a 3 run hr TEXASComment -
Benson is awful. I remember him in Pittsburgh...we would always think the Pirates were going to lose games when he was on the mound. We were usually right..he is just a very poor pitcher...detroit takes this one easily..I even took the runline...Comment -

I love Curtis Granderson holler.Comment -
Alright, Detroit should blow this game wide open right here.Comment -
Benson has not been awful, though ... if he had a catcher playing defense the first run would not have scored. If his 3rd baseman played defense, the 2nd run would not have scored ... and if his rightfielder could play defense, the 3rd run would have scored, but there would be 2 outs and one on ...
3-0 Tigers -- the rout is on ...Comment -
Benson and Oliver Perez are two pitchers worth betting against all year...Comment -
Moneyline...the fact is, the tigers are still hitting him all over the place...Comment -
BENSON STINKS!!!!!! Grand slam...this game is a blow out
Comment -
7-0 before the 5th ... told y'all when it was 1-0 that it would be over by the 5th ... why don't ya listen?
BTW, Babe, the Rangers have still hit more balls hard than the Tigers this game. Unless you are watching the game on your computer, that is.
You can't keep giving a team extra outs ... like Young did playing ole defense on a sure DP grounder and Cruz did waiting for 3 secons before pursuing Grandserson's glorified pop out ... 4 outs an inning will make any pitcher look bad. Trust me on this. It is common knowledge.Comment -

Lights out. Good call shortsop
I missed out
Comment -
Moneyline...you cant get hit much harder than that swing by Cabrera...and runs are what matters, not plays that defensive players should be making all game...Comment -
Moneyline thank you for entering this thread and hooking brutha Bread up!!
I love you man!Comment -
Chic, logic like that is irrefutable. Defense doesn't matter. I see it all clearly now
Comment -
Well what can I say, nice call!Originally posted by moneylineComment -
Im sorry moneyline..I just dont like Benson. I see your argument as far as texas hitting the ball hard, but you cant argue and say that detroit hasnt been killing benson in this game...Comment -
If Benson had average defense behind him this game, he would've given up 1 run so far ... sorry, I don't think that is bad.
Salty led to the 1st unearned run.
Young playing ole defense on a sure DP led to the 2nd run.
Cruz getting an all-time bad jump on a deep, but routine, fly ball by Curtis gave the Tigers a 4th out that inning, leading to the grand slam ... Benson shouldn't have thrown that pitch because he should have been sitting in the dugout after getting the 3rd out striking out Magglio ...
Now that the game is over, he will begin to get lit ... he was not lit in the first 4 innings ...Comment -
Its only logical to see Benson is getting HAMMERED..another hr...Comment -
What computer have you been watching the game on, Chic? Does it give the stats in multi-color?Comment -
Im not on the computer, Im watching it on tv. Dont talk down to me either...ignorant...you are wrong about your argument and anyone watching this game can see Benson is getting smacked around, so give it upComment -
You are obviously either not watching it on television or don't understand that the numbers of runs given up doesn't automatically reflect how a pitcher has pitched in a game. And that giving 4 outs an inning will make even CY Young look like CY Old in a hurry.
(I'll give you the benefit of the doubt -- you haven't been watching the game on television ...)Comment -
Benson IS getting lit up. There is no use arguing that.
The pitcher still has to make pitches to get outs. He's not doing that.Comment -
Thank you Kid..at least someone is smart enough to see whats going on in this game...Comment -
If Salty, Young and Cruz had played average defense, the Tigers would have been winning 1-0 going into the 5th inning. Yep, that is just horrible.
(defense doesn't matter -- Chic already told me so)
(and Kid, Benson did just that -- the double play ball to Young was a pitch to get two outs ... Young botched it ... and the pitch to Granderson was a pitch that should have gotten an out, but Cruz botched it ... so what you are really saying is "after a pitcher makes a pitch to get an out and the defense messes it up, he should always be able to make another pitch to get the 4th out")
Really smart baseball folks might be in disagreement with you there, hoss.Comment
