Jim Leyland GotMeOnMyKnees: My Tigers, I just got off the phone with the MLB television reps and they've made my options clear.
Jim Leyland GotMeOnMyKnees: To assure high ratings for this year's series, I can either say the team is from a bigger market and call ourselves the "Washington DC Tiger Sox," or do some manipulation to make us look like atomic supermen.
Jim Leyland GotMeOnMyKnees: So congratulations, you're all pitching 98 miles per hour now. /adjusts radar gun
Joel Zumaya

ZumayaMyLord: oh, sweet, watch out

Joel Zumaya

ZumayaMyLord: hahah yessss

can you put a cannon in my chest, that would be sweet

Jim Leyland GotMeOnMyKnees: Yup, we're now the hardest throwing rotation in history. They had it hooked up to Rich Harden during the Oakland series.
VerlanderlayIndustries: That clears up a lot. Remember when Harden balked and Thom Brennaman said it was a 102 mile per hour sinker, and he started making hissing sounds like he'd put his finger on a frying pan
Joel Zumaya ZumayaMyLord: Yeah he did it for like 40 seconds
VerlanderlayIndustries: And then Chris Myers interviewed Jason Kendall and set his catchers mit on fire with a match.
Joel Zumaya ZumayaMyLord: And then Steve Lyons called him a dirty gravelbelly
Jim Leyland GotMeOnMyKnees: Well, you're all dirty gravelbellies now. Even Kenny Rogers is pitching in the high-90s. It's like Baseball Simulator 1.000. These playoffs will be awesome!

VerlanderlayIndustries: lol
