We can't let the Tigers get away without ...

BITCHING!!!!

OK, I did watch the Yanks-Tigers on national TV, and am I the only one who sees a pattern here? I'm really down on Bonderman, who keeps pitching to the middle of the plate. Can he PLEASE pitch inside, so his pitches bite on the hands of left-handed hitters? I mean, geeesh, is anybody coaching this pitching staff? If Bonderman isn't walking someone (29 in 45 innings) he's pitching to the fat part of the bat.
I get the feeling that Bonderman and Verlander are simply throwing and not pitching. Their location is brutal, and it is confusing because it happens over and over and over.
But the pattern I'm talking about is the bad at-bats this team continues to have. Take, for instance, the seventh inning, when the Tigers got two on with no outs. Renteria and Rodriguez had TERRIBLE at-bats; Pudge (I will now forever refer to him as PUKE) swung at a third strike that would have been ball four. I can forgive Polanco, who made the third out, ending the inning, and, any chance for a Tigers' comeback, because he usually has great at-bats. But Renteria's swing was baffling.
Like the pitchers, these guys seem to have no clue.
I took a shot at coaches when I was ranting about Bonderman a few moments ago, but, really, these guys are major-leaguers. They HAVE to know better, to understand situations and what their goal should be with runners on, on certain counts, etc. It's utterly amazing how poorly their approaches are, both at bat and on the mound. I've watched small-college players with more of an idea on how to play the game.
Now, for the worst thing that could have happened: Sheffield doubled in a run in the seventh, and his RBI moved him past Al Kaline on the career RBI list (1,584). He's tied for 33rd with Rogers Hornsby and Harmon Killebrew. Kaline was my hero, and to see him passed by such a selfish creep like ... well it really makes me SICK.
At this point, I can't figure out who I hate the most, PUKE or Sh**-field. And, yes, the asterisks do stand for the letters "I" and "T"
