Test4VitalSigns Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 QUOTE (anagramking @ Oct 23 2006, 06:27 PM) I remember in the 1988 NLCS when Dodger reliever Jay Howell was ejected for having pine tar. It was pouring at Shea, and he had pine tar on the bill of his hat. It was too obvious to any viewer. McCarver mentioned that Steve Carlton was ordered to wash his hands before the 8th inning of a game in the 1980 Series. The opposing manager (Davey Johnson I presumed) asked for inspection I bet.

I'm not sure how it happened. The bill on his cap was pretty obvious, though. It's possible that the ump caught it without prompting from Davey Johnson.

Raider917 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 did leyland give a reason as to why he used verlander for game 1 and robertson for game three? didnt they have enough rest after the sweep of the A's to have rogers or bonderman pitching games 1, 4 and 7 and the other pitching 3 and 6? there definitely the better pair of pitchers. now you have games 1, 3 and 7 in the hand of an inexperienced rookie that has struggled since the all star break? if there isnt a reason for this, that is crazy!

Raider917 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 its still pretty insane to me for tonights game to not have at least bonderman go against carpenter. game three in a series tied at 1 is always critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Notorious B.S.G. Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Arrrrrrgh! Our hitters aren't hitting, our pitchers are committing errors, I swear it's the curse of being called such big favorites. Hello sports writers, the Cards didn't get here by sheer luck. They've got the MVP and a Cy Young-er. (Deep breath.................) Ok, the Tig's bring out Bonderman tomorrow, the middle of the lineup can NOT continue their slump, and Leyland will shake 'em up and motivate them appropriately. I think he'll probably shake up the lineup, or maybe "tweak" is a better word. OMG! HE THREW IT TO THIRD!!!!!!!!!! (Gonna have nightmares about Zumaya's error for a while now.)

anagramking Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Is Granderson really a leadoff hitter? Man that guy strikes out a lot. And why is Polanco batting third? Does that make any sense at all?Something just doesn't seem right with the Tigers. It's like they forgot how they got there in the first place. The Tigers definitely have no room for error now. They have to avoid facing Carpenter in Game 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
