I wasn't a member of here yet but at the old ESPN boards that I frequented before this Sizemore vs. Granderson was a major debate between Tigers and Indians fans.

Sizemore got a lot more overall hype than Granderson

Get all the enemy hitters out!!

And Sizemorecwas ALWAYS hurt. Crashing into walls and stuff...Granderson was a much better player.

Greetings from beautiful Detroit, Michigan!

Best seats in the house. I love it up there.

[RandyMarsh]

Like I said, if they aren't going to score atleast make him work, unfortunately through 2 innings the Tigers haven't done either.

Sizemore was better at their respective peaks. Granderson  aged a lot better.

The real debate was A-Rod vs Shane Halter

[SoCalTiger]

I'm nervous.

Yeah he was but at the time in 06-08 us posters there weren't saber savvy to say the least, I remember the arguments almost always being based off of basic stats, even defensive stats were things like fielding percentage and "range factor". I remember the one knock on Granderson from everybody was that he couldn't hit left handed pitching though. 

[IdahoBert]

Thus far this game is underwhelming.

Granderson K’d a lot initially too, i remember him getting a lot of flack for that.  Back in the era where a 20% K rate was considered a lot…

Nationals score 4 runs in the first off All Star Ranger Suarez and the Phillies. Where was this offense against the Royals?

Crochet against the Tigers lefty heavy lineup was likely to be trouble. 

[Sports_Freak]

We're gonna score this inning.

[RandyMarsh]

Game isn't even 40 minutes in and we're already in the bottom of the 4th. Crazy!

[monkeytargets39]

Think the Sox are smart enough to cash in on Crochet in a trade before that elbow explodes?

[IdahoBert]

Loaded for Sweeney. 

[SoCalTiger]

close..at least Crochett is gone..

 

[RandyMarsh]

Wait did Kane say he saw a Deuce jersey? Now we have to win!

[monkeytargets39]

Which MTSer is there in the Adduci jersey?

[lordstanley]

Jim Aducci jersey, lol.

It's getting late early.
