It's rare that I interrupt my game watching experience to post on here, but I wanted to make a comment on Jim Leyland's interesting usage of Omar Infante, Marcus Thames, and Neifi Fucking Perez.
Omar is starting in center, Thames is at first, and Perez is taking Brandon Inge's spot at third. With a left-hander starting, it's an all right-handed line-up. Mario and Rod talked about Granderson needing a day off because he, like so many Tigers right now, is suffering from the flu that has been going around the team, and he does look a little worse for wear on the bench, all bundled up and everything. It's the third inning now and he seems to be holding his own just fine.
Marcus is getting some more looks at first, since Craig Monroe has pretty much locked down left field and Sheffield is the permanent occupier of the DH spot. Marcus looks a little shaky there right now, but giving him more opportunities and more at-bats is only going to help this team.
However, having Neifi Fucking Perez backing up Inge is like having a blind and deaf guy backing up a blind guy. I'd like to see, um, anyone else on the field, mostly because Neifi Fucking Perez is guaranteed out every time he comes up to the plate. Inge packs a little more punch than Neifi Fucking Perez, but they're both decent fielders. Jimmy better have some sort of spell over this guy, otherwise Neifi Fucking Perez is going to be called to the plate in crunch time and I'm going to cry.
It's the bottom of the third now and the Tigs have just taken a 3-1 lead, so hopefully the good times continue. See you here afterwards.
