Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers 7/5/2010 Game 19

After having to work the Fourth of July, I was rewarded by having the next day off. I persuaded my sister to join me in a little afternoon baseball up in Detroit.

What seemed like a favorable pitching match-up for Baltimore turned out to be a nightmare for both teams on this very hot July day. Andy Oliver got the start for Detroit and was not helped by his defense as an error on Magglio Ordonez allowed Corey Patterson, everyone’s favorite player to heckle for some reason, to reach. Patterson stole third and then scored on a ground out by Miguel Tejada.

That first inning still went better than the one Kevin Millwood had. After recording the first out, Johnny Damon singled and Ordonez walked to set up a two-run double by Miguel Cabrera. Then Brennan Boesch walked and Cabrera scored on a Carlos Guillen double. Boesch then scored on a Brandon Inge ground rule double and finally Alex Avila drove in Guillen to make it 5-1 Tigers.

Apparently in a giving mood, Oliver also got the first out of the second inning before allowing a single to Jake Fox, a triple to Julio Lugo, and a single to Cesar Izturis to bring Baltimore to within two.

Miguel Tejada followed two batters later with an RBI single an a Nick Markakis walk chased Oliver from the game after 1.2 innings of work. Ed Bonine didn’t fare much better as he allowed a double to Ty Wigginton and then threw a wild pitch that allowed Markakis to score and make it a 6-5 game.

Mark Hendrickson came on for Baltimore and was greeted with a one-out single by Damon, a two-out double by Cabrera and then a walk to Boesch loaded the bases. Guillen and Inge hit back-to-back singles to clear the bases and make it an 8-6 game.

In an apparent attempt to see who could surrender the most runs, Bonine was victimized by a solo homer by Fox to bring it to 8-7. That home run landed a few runs in front of me and I watched a grown woman yell “MINE” at another spectator attempting to pick up the ball. Eventually Bonine and Hendrickson got things together and strung together some scoreless innings.

Wanting in on the action Koji Uehara allowed a single to Ramon Santiago on just his second pitch of the fifth inning and then a triple to Austin Jackson. Two batters later Ordonez drove in Jackson and Detroit built the lead up to 10-7. Detroit added two more in the seventh and had what at the time felt like a comfortable lead at 12-7.

That’s when the inexplicable in baseball happens. A closer is brought on in a non save situation and then tries to make it a save situation by giving up some runs. This was the feeling that Jose Valverde had. 

Unfortunately for me, it seemed like the day was getting hotter and my sister had disappeared into the bathroom, where it turns out she had briefly passed out from the heat. I had personally left the sunny left field seats and was supporting myself with a trash can as “Papa Grande” walked Markakis, allowed a single to Wigginton, recorded an out, gave up a two-run single to Matt Wieters and then another single to Fox to bring the tying run to the plate.

Finally the final two outs were recorded and we could head home now that my sister had finally recovered from the heat stroke she likely suffered.

The next time I headed to the ballpark it would be my first venture to the lovely PNC Park in Pittsburgh.

Ty Wigginton Responds to His Release

Well, well, well. Look where we are now. The Cardinals think they can release me, Mr. Ty Wigginton? They don't have the authority!

So ha ha ha. Very, very funny Mr. Mozeliak. But I know we've talked about this before. And I know you're not that stupid to make that mistake. 

Oh, my batting average was too low, my strikeouts too high, my power non-existent? It's like you don't even know the fury I hold within my body, the glory that exists within my celestial form. 

Do you not remember that I was bringing the chase for champagne with me? Do you not remember the good times, the meals out that we had! Was that all nothing to you!? I'm no bauble, no play thing to trifle with. I can raze mountains with a thought, play all over the field--what do you do? Read a newspaper filled with LIES? 

Don't forget, dummy, I KNOW where the bodies are buried and I KNOW that when it's time for the meek to inherit the earth, I, Tyronius Wigginton will RULE all. Just look in my eyes and see if I'm bluffing. Do those look like the eyes of a man who jokes around? Do those hands look like the hands of someone who sits back and doesn't take ACTION? 

So, Ty Wigginton released? No, no, I don't THINK so. I release YOU from my loving influence and guidance. 

WIGGINTON OUT.

Also, the Cardinals got rid of Ty Wiggington and Mitchell Boggs today.

I ain't even mad.

[armchair-analysis]

Ty Wigginton beats out this throw home. That was a sentence I never thought I would type.

[justinssportscorner]

ST. LOUIS • The Cardinals have found the veteran righthanded-hitting presence they sought for their bench.

The Cardinals signed Ty Wigginton to a two-year deal worth $5 million. The club announced the contract after Wigginton visited St. Louis this afternoon and passed a physical. The deal will pay the veteran utility fielder $2.5 million in 2013 and it is laced with performance bonuses. 

"I think just the way they play the game, first and foremost, made this an appealing fit for me," Wigginton said as he waited to board a flight back to his offseason home in North Carolina. Asked about moving into a new role as a bench option and backup at several positions, he said: "I'm excited for it. Early in my career, I didn't want to have that type of role, obviously, and I don't think I could have done well in that kind of role. I was looking for an opportunity to win.

"I look at my role as being able to help the team win anyway I can."

With Philadelphia last season, Wigginton hit .235 with a .314 on-base percentage and a .375 slugging percentage. In his career, he has a .438 slugging percentage and four times he's hit more than 20 homers in the season. The 35-year-old hit 11 home runs for the Phillies last season in a part-time role, while appearing at first base, third base, and the outfield.

Rumor has it that the Phils are going to decline Ty's $4 mil. option today.  I don't know about you guys, but this makes me very happy!

Send him back to the Rockies & send that money towards an outfielder that can hit and run!  Maybe a certain Hawaiian?

[stlouisbirdnals]

Wiggington's specialty is running home and scoring.

[princeofny]

The Mets could use Ty Wigginton and the Phillies are plummeting to the earth. Could a rivalry (that isn't an actual rivalry) prevent a possible deal?
