The the Tigers could have add on runs but if you can’t hold a 5-0 lead, you are in a lot of trouble.

Ladies and Gentleman, the Tigers are in a lot of trouble. The starters are only good for 5-6 innings and the bullpen may be the worst we have seen since, well, 2015.

BA sat Nick “The Quick” the night before.  He’s back in the lineup yesterday and goes 0-5.

The only manager worse than Ausmus is Robin Ventura.

Speaking of Ventura, remember when Nolan Ryan beat him into a conniption?

Random Notes For Monday, August 5th 2013

Crippy Baseball , , , , , , ,

In case you didn’t watch the video from the Mario Impemba post, there are few interesting tidbits of information about the day Nolan Ryan beat Robin Ventura into a conniption.

  1. Yesterday, August 4th was the 20th anniversary of the brawl.
  2. The Tigers’ own Gene Lamont was the manager of the White Sox then.
  3. Vincent Edward (Bo) Jackson was playing for the Sox at the time.  (Hmmmm, I wonder if anybody ever threw up and in on Bo?)
  4. Nolan Ryan did not get thrown out of the game!!!!!  This is the most unbelievable part of the entire story.  NOLAN RYAN WAS ALLOWED TO KEEP PITCHING AFTER HE BEAT ROBIN VENTURA INTO A CONNIPTION!

On a completely different note, the Red Wings have announced that they are retiring Nick Lidstrom’s #5.

Big series for the Tigers starts tonight in Cleveland, Sanchez v Kluber.

The Tigers need at least a split of the 4 games.

A GEM FROM MARIO IMPEMBA!

As a Tiger fan, I love our TV announcers.  Mario and Rod are fabulous.  And, I often said, that Rod Allen was the only thing that made the 2003 season bearable.

Today, they had a beautiful conversation.  They showed a clip of current White Sox manager Robin Ventura getting beaten into a conniption by legendary pitcher, Nolan Ryan.  As they showed the clip, Rod said, something to the effect that Ventura had a few knuckle sandwiches.  Mario replied, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘it was more like a picnic.”  I have been laughing for the last 10 minutes.

Here’s a video of that fateful day in 1993.
