That was one for the record books. The fact he did it against ATL makes it even better, they were KILLING it for a while.

ElectricMayhem wrote:What pitching rotations can you remember that are as good or better than this year's Tigers? I've got two:
The Braves with Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Neagle, and Millwood
The Mets with Gooden, Cone, Darling, Fernandez, Aguilera
Verlander-Sanchez-Scherzer-Fister-(Porcello) is pretty damned good.

Really cool article about it. Miggy is the best

Guy behind him? Jhonny Peralta...batting .326 in the 7th spot. And how about the 9th spot? Omar Infante...batting .316, with whatever .200 garbage at #8 in front of him. Why do two guys batting .300 get stuck with two absolute zeroes in front of them? Put the zeroes at 8 and 9. Or at least at 7 and 8. I think you cause more damage stringing out the garbage in your lineup than throwing it all together.

Great read, really makes you appreciate what makes Miggy Miggy. The raw power for that line drive home run still boggles my mind. The second best thing has to be his HR chart, basically saying he can send any pitch anywhere past the fence, the man is a monster.

Papa Grande needs to be Papa Gone Day. I have no problem with the experiment but it's clear that it won't work. When you have a 2-0 lead, 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, and an 0-2 count, there is no way ever, EVER EVER EVER that you should give up a home run. Not on an 0-2 count. EVER.

Valverde is terrible...as is our bullpen. We need major help there
