[Sh0gunkid8721]

i love how all the Tigers "fans" come out of the woodwork all of a sudden. same with the Steelers fans.

::cough cough:: frontrunners ::cough cough::

[prompt]

dont need to be a tigers fan to say the tigers are going to sweep the cards. I mean last time card went they got swept by my team the Red Sox

[uberschall]

hey, the tigers are a phenomenon right now.

there are plenty of people who have kept the faith for 22 years.

but if winning the pennant and getting into the world series for the first time in over two decades doesn't garner some fans, i don't know what would.

i mean...you're bloody right we're coming out of the woodwork!

GO TIGERS!!! dON'T Care what the score is right now. Man the Tigers deserve it. Then again I'm biased, I was raised in Detroit. As far as the "FrontRunners" comment, There was nothing to talk about with the tigers since '84, so yea people are gonna come out of woodworks, because before now there was nothing to cheer about..... ass

Rogers pitched a great game for the tigers. But he cant pitch every game. Its gonna go to 7. Cards take it.

That's because HE CHEATED.

This is insane. I think the tigers should be taken out of the world series for that. Rogers is a cheating pos. That pisses me off so badly that the upires caught him and the coaches didnt say ****. If i was the Cards coach i would have been on that feild cursing up a storm. I hate cheaters. I hope Kenny Rogers breaks his arms. Bastard.

Did you watch Sportscenter, or anything? He didn't "cheat". Pine tar is used for grip, not for ball manipulation. Most pitchers use it, they just hide better. It's not cheating. If you think that is cheating, then the batters using pine tar to grip their bats is also cheating.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

John yes i did watch sports center and it is cheating. Pitchers are not supposed to use any foregin substance to aid pitching. ESPN showed a quote from the rules that clearly stated that.

Quoted from:

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/official...s/pitcher_8.jsp

" Official Rules: 8.00 The Pitcher
Section 8.02
The pitcher shall not --
(a) (1) Bring his pitching hand in contact with his mouth or lips while in the 18 foot circle surrounding the pitching rubber. EXCEPTION: Provided it is agreed to by both managers, the umpire prior to the start of a game played in cold weather, may permit the pitcher to blow on his hand. PENALTY: For violation of this part of this rule the umpires shall immediately call a ball. However, if the pitch is made and a batter reaches first base on a hit, an error, a hit batsman or otherwise, and no other runner is put out before advancing at least one base, the play shall proceed without reference to the violation. Repeated offenders shall be subject to a fine by the league president.
(2) expectorate on the ball, either hand or his glove;
(3) rub the ball on his glove, person or clothing;
(4) apply a foreign substance of any kind to the ball;
(5) deface the ball in any manner; or
(6) deliver a ball defaced in a manner prescribed by Rule 8.02(a)(2) through (5) or what is called the “shine” ball, “spit” ball, “mud” ball or “emery” ball. The pitcher is allowed to rub the ball between his bare hands.....


(b) Have on his person, or in his possession, any foreign substance. For such infraction of this section (b) the penalty shall be immediate ejection from the game. In addition, the pitcher shall be suspended automatically for 10 games. "

He was clearly cheating.

it's just like using the chalk bag for grip...he had the stuff on his hand, he didn't apply it to the ball. if he did, it caused no unnatural movement, and would be no different than chalk coming off the hand onto the ball. even after he cleaned it off, he still beat them, and he's been a hall of famer for YEARS. besides, you're just looking for an excuse as to why your over-paid yankees lost. :-P.

and as kruk or w/e said, all the pitchers do it, rogers just didn't hide it very well.





nothin but love, tina. <3.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Yeah yeah yeah i <3 you too, you ass.

I've already spoken my feelings about the Yankees. I know why we lost. I'm not blaming that on Rogers. I just don't like cheating.
No this is not like a chalk bag. If it was the umpires wouldnt have confronted him about it. If you look at pictures from the other games in the postseason you can see the same substance on his hand. Watch how he's always putting that same hand under his hat before he pitches. It's clear for any idiot to see that he was cheating to say otherwise is foolish. It's written right there in the MLB Rules in black and white. You can't argue with that.

[Mynzeyes]

it's the same as a chalk bag. applied to the hand, it helps grip. it doesn't cause any unnatural movement. that's the arguement as to why they weren't punished. obviously if it's good enough for the MLB, it's a good enough argument against their own rules.

besides, he wiped it off, and still owned them. he's a master. .
