I think the Scott Baker v. Rick Porcello matchup

is almost fortuitous as the Tigers could have hoped for. If they Tigers don’t win today, they don’t deserve it.

Cabrera

is a wild one.

I can't believe he blew a .26 the night/morning before a game.

That is an impressive binge. A lot of people were talking about suspending Cabrera (or benching him for tonight’s game). I wonder if the Reds would do that. Or the Rockies, who are pretty adamant about their players being good Christian boys.

Also, I don't remember the Reds suspending Ryan Freel

I can’t find any mention of whether or not they did. Someone with a better memory/stronger google-fu?

WTF was he thinking?

Maybe they’d have avoided this playoff if he were, you know…sober.

He's been in a slump that predates the night of the incident.

And the Saturday night loss was a pretty emphatic one. Plus, I don’t like the Tigers chances without him. Hey, he almost just scored the go ahead run.

IAN! I'm on traain!

The story I heard was that he was out drinking with members of the White Sox

So, fraternization is obviously a bad idea, but one wonders if it was the Pale Hose Players that took him out in the first place. Kind of a more direct, less fun version of sending a hooker to the guy’s room the night before a big game.

interesting

Yanks and Red Sox fans are known to practice that ploy. Buy the opposing team’s players drinks, or if you’re a bartender, make them extra strong.

Maybe the Reds should have Pete Rose take the opposing team out every home stand

by Red_Poodle on Oct 6, 2009 5:40 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He said he was "focused"

I just can’t buy that he was focused while toasted. I guess the Twins should thank Miguel Cabrerra.. And if the Tigers lose, they can blame it on the juice!:

especially since the title

doesn’t make it clear it’s a gamethread.

But two new articles were posted to the front page shortly before the game started, so I guess Brendan didn’t want to bury them with a game thread.

Yup

I probably should have included “Game Thread” in the title, but it was pretty long already. And there was a ton of stuff going on in the front page already, at least some of it having to do with the Reds. Plus, if those bands aren’t a draw, all the activity going on in here will draw in the curious.

i don’t know about that.

this is a thread that will actually get activity. It’s where people will want to have discussion. The threads that already have the benefit of being on the main page only have a couple of comments.
