The Tigers beat the Yankees 5 to 4, including getting the Yankees out 1 - 2 - 3 in the 9th inning. (Swisher - Texieria - ARod) This would have been unheard of during the Todd Jones and Fernando Rodney administrations. Magglio made a div...err sliding catch with 2 outs in the 8th and 2 men on base to save the game and to hold Derek Jeter without a hit.  Definitely an emotional night, starting with the moving tribute to Ernie Harwell, and followed by a pretty good game and win against the hated Yankees.

Sad to see that the Buccos are excited by an 4 inning, 84 pitch outing from Ohlendorf. Why can't this team get any pitching?

Poor scouting, poor management, and poor ownership

Well.....the Mariners officially SUCK!!! Loose today to the O's 6-5.....2 HR given up in the 8th (one a grandslam). Took a 5-1 lead into the 8th and blew it huge....
Houston...we have major problems in Seattle.
Sadly we continue to Tampa for 3 games and then Oakland for 2.....Mariners could go 1-7 on this road trip.
Horrible.

The Tigers split the doubleheader with the Yankees yesterday winning 2-0 in the afternoon game and losing 8-0 in the night game. It was 2-0 going into the 9th inning so it wasn't quite as bad as it sounds.
The Tigers lead the Yankees 6 -0 in the bottom of the 8th, so if they can hold on that would mean the Tigers taking 3 out of 4 for the series, which is an excellent result from our point of view.
GAME OVER - Tigers win 6 to 0. The Tigers shut the Yankees out twice in the series. The Yankees had not been shutout yet this year coming in to the series.

That is really shocking. With all of the Mariners' off-season moves, I really thought that they would be the team to beat in the West. It is still early and they definitely have the starting pitching arms that can turn the team in the right direction pretty quickly (doesn't help with 1-0 and 2-1 losses but....)

Well they are not on a good path right now going into June which is usually a great month for the better teams. Usually by this point the early jitters are gone, seeing the ball pretty well, arms are strongest and legs are good.
By All Star break they could be out of it if the train is not righted soon......Although the AL West is turning out to be the toilet division...we are in last place but only 6 games out of first....WHAT!!!
The A's will implode after June, Texas will hit a ton of HR but still loose 12-13.......Angels will get it going soon.

I think Texas is going to hang around this year actually, their pitching (outside the "ace" they got in the offseason) has been very solid and their offense is just starting to bubble up. If fantasy baseball heartthrob Nelson Cruz could stay healthy he'd be an MVP candidate and we all know what Vlad and Hamilton are capable of if they are in the lineup.
Other than the signing Cliff Lee and already having king Felix what lead to all the preseason hype surrounding Seattle? This honestly confused me.

Ah, the M's. We have the makings of another classically dysfunctional season 'round here. Very good pitching -- maybe Felix is done with his usual May collapse, Lee is solid, and Vargas and Fister are great surprises. Defense has shown more than a few lapses however. Is any regular in the starting lineup, maybe other than Ichiro, hitting over .200? Didn't Felix have a slam a few years ago. Maybe just go without the DH when he's pitching. Didn't look at Lee's average with the Phillies, but it couldn't be much worse than .200.
The cretin Sweeney is threatening to punch out anyone who doesn't have Jr.'s back. Jackie Z is already backing off, talking about 'it's a long term process we're executing here.' And so it is. All I know, they don't get my $ (as in,sitting in the overpriced seats, drinking the overpriced beer, muching on the overpriced dogs) until I have a reasonable expectation of even a competitive game...win or lose doesn't matter.
Yes, the division is baseball's Siberia this year. But unless this crew can roust up some offense, as Dylan said, they "ain't goin' nowhere."

Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Think the M's would be interested in a Manny for Lee trade? The Dodgers need pitching and the M's need hitting.

The Buccos are 5-0 against the Cubbies this year. What gives?

Actually I think Lee will be traded by the end of July. There's going to be a contending team that needs a rent-an-arm, especially of his caliber, and the M's have no hope of keeping him here, so the Seattle crew will end up with a boatload of prospects or perhaps a hitter or two. It's a bit depressing to already be thinking of next year in May. Who knows, maybe they can go on a tear.
Regarding averages, I forgot Gutierrez, who is hitting .300. He and Ichiro are the only two whose average begins with a 3

I'm an Astros fan and my boss is an Indians fan. Looks like neither of us will have much to brag about this season.

Nice weekend for the Tigers taking 2 out of 3 from the Red Sox. Pretty happy to go 5 and 2 against the Yankees and Red Sox this week. That is usually a 2 and 5 stretch.

So the Buccos pitching comes through again and gets them back to normal with a 1 run loss. And here I was thinking that they could have swept the Cubbies throughout their season series with them. NOT!
