PIZZA SPEAR!!!!!

[casimir]

The home run celebration sucks.  Sucks out loud level of suck.

[Tigeraholic1]

I do like the pizza spear over the hockey getup. Never being a hockey fan glad to hear Tork did not care for it either.

Guys at the top of our lineup really taking some good swings...Greene is the only one that looks to be a little off so far

The hockey goal got to be pretty cringe by the end of last year.   

[Dtrain72]

Especially after the Wings shat their pants again today.

Indeed.  Both suck.

That is so bad.  I get the teams do this now and the hockey stick and helmet was good because it showed camaraderie with your fellow sports team.  But now it’s just a ****ing advertisement for the corporate ownership?  So so bad. 

[Hongbit]

Chris should make them travel with their own Little Caeser’s take out locker and they can spear real pizza after a homer.  

[casimir]

If they want to steal something from the Ilitch empire, they can throw an octopus out of the dugout and into the stands.  Matt Anderson probably has enough arm to make that happen, right?

seems like Tork is looking to get some Franchises

[Hongbit]

They need a Homer Toga to go along with the Pizza Spear

[RandyMarsh]

Considering the influx in gambling ads with sports maybe they can have a slot machine or something in the dugout and pull the handle after every homerun?

And the crown of leaves.  Don’t forget that.

[casimir]

Hold on.  PIZZA PIZZA!  Two for the price of one?  Tiger come runs should be double in point value.  Who’s with me?

[gehringer_2]

Faedo's command sucking then he throws one away.

EDIT: but gets out of it.

Couldn’t keep Roberts off the bases but at least we finally kept the White Sox off the board!

There’s a thought.

[casimir]

MLB debut for the ChiSux.  How about gifting this rookie an L, eh?

[gehringer_2]

Nice AB from Kelley. Loses the double, works the count to full and singles.

[RandyMarsh]

While I dont like the gimmick I'm sure it's not for me or any of us old timers on here, I'm sure it's to cater to the younger audience who may find things like that entertaining. In that regard I'm cool with it cause baseball needs to do whatever it can to attract younger folks. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Carson Kelly fell for the stolen base with a man on third play?   That's alarming.    They seem to love that guy, but he's never shown me much.

I guess it was overdue to become commercialized.  I was under the impression it was player driven and organic. But now I assume they will utilize the new scoreboard to show them celebrating then we will get the “pizza pizza” sound bite and cartoon clip. 
 

curtain calls will soon be sponsored
