1. Rod Allen. He was classic last night. Benoit was pitching. Rod said on the air, "Benoit needs to move the next pitch over about 6 inches and this guy will hit one to Peralta and the game will be over". The words weren't out of his mouth and there was a grounder to Jhonny P. Rod is so knowledgeable.
2. Tigers are now on their win streak - we get high when they win and mad when they lose. But that is their pattern. Ther division is ours if we just could be consistant.
3. Verlander is our ace. And I forget how young he is - he will go down in History as one of our best pitchers. Didn't he come up the same year as Zumaya - a tad of sarcasm there.
4. People make excuses for Joel all the time - my feeling is he was a loose canon, who did as he pleased and i believe his career is over

how bout the tigers getting some national exposure saturday night on fox?? would be nice if we didnt have to send the rookie out there(Oliver) against a fired up red sox team but i will be watching. we got verlander-becket on sunday to follow that up...some big games!
ReplyDeleteYes Zumaya is a free spirit. I think he simply threw too hard and his arm couldn't take the stress.
ReplyDeleteI saw Zumaya and Verlander quite a bit in Spring Training in 2006 and it was Verlander who was being considered as the reliever until the last week. I will never forget watching Zumaya just blow people away in the last exhibition game. Veterans treated them differently, because they were.
ReplyDeleteZumaya was a free spirit, but he was always in great shape and he worked his ass off. I am still rooting for him because he can pitch at 92-95 because of his wicked breaking pitches. I hope that he is able to help someone. He deserves it because he has worked hard to come back each time. GO JOEL!!!!!!!
