Bunt Singles Sept. 12
posted in 2007 season, bunt singles |Some notes from around the Tigers lately.
- Jim Leyland announced the rotation for the rest of the season.
This Fri-Sun at Minnesota: Robertson, Bazardo and Jurrjens
Next Mon-Wed at Cleveland: Rogers, Verlander and Robertson
Next Fri-Sun vs. KC: Jurrjens, Rogers, Verlander
Sept. 24-26 vs. Minnesota: Robertson, TBA, Jurrjens
Sept. 28-30 at Chicago: Rogers, Verlander, Robertson
So, that’s not too bad a rotation against the Indians. The rotation against the Twins the first time around, well, we’ll see.
- Mike Illitch will spend money.
We just don’t know how yet. He’s not really sure either. It’s not really a concern to him. He just wants to win, win, win, win. Basically, he wants what we want. The key quotes:
“I look at it as I finally got to the higher level,” Ilitch said on Wednesday, “and you’re learning now, like I learned with [hockey], how to stay up there and some of the things you have to do in baseball to make sure that you’re keeping your eye on to make sure the team’s going to stay up. That’s going to be the secret now, to keep the club contending every single year. That’s my objective.
“I just have to prepare myself. Regardless of what happens, I wouldn’t be happy if I can’t contend every year now.”
- The bloggers gathered at Comerica Park Tuesday.
Samara doesn’t have photos yet, but promises them soon. There’s been no real blog postings about it yet, but I’m sure we’ll get something soon.
- Curtis Granderson likes Kanye West
I don’t like to Grandy’s blog all the time, because, hey, you know where to find it. Hopefully you don’t need the reminder. But from time to time, doesn’t hurt to point it out. Anyway, he picked Kanye West in the 50 cent vs. Kanye West debate for album releases. For the record, he’s completely right. Then again, I don’t listen to 50, but I do listen to Kanye, so what else am I going to say? Of course, for some reason, I get get the page to load to link to his exact post.
- Just enjoy September
That’s what I thin. John Milton at The Daily Fungo agreed.
Sphere ItI do hope September is not the last month of baseball for the Tigers, but if it is, we still have some things this month we have enjoyed.
I think everyone’s being lazy and just waiting ’til I get photos posted so they can just link to it and say ‘look! photos! it was fun! yay!’ instead of makin’ their own posts about the drunk fools we encountered and the loud obnoxious misbehaving we did. Unfortunately for them, it takes time to process a couple hundred photos and put the results on the magical internets.
I can confirm Sam’s assertion. I’m too lazy to plug my (much smaller and more feeble) camera into my computer and upload some images.
