Don't rub it in.  The Tigers are now working on their 4th or 5th different 2nd baseman this year, and they have already traded away Scott Sizemore, who was the reason that they didn't feel the need to resign Polanco two years ago.

I'd definitely like to see Polanco go, he's having a hell of a year.

A welcome change.
 
I mean, God bless The Mexicutioner but he can't blow saves like he has been. He needs sometime to get back in the groove, I'm glad they're keeping him in the majors and letting him relieve.
 
Plus, Crow has given up one run in his career after relieving 27 innings. If you ask me, that's impressive.

Their first album was kind of bleh, but the follow up was pretty great.

It was like 2010 Indians to 2011 Indians, but not quite 2009 Bautista to 2010 Bautista to keep this comment on topic.

Jays beat the Tribe 11-1.  The bats really wanted JoJo to finally get a win.  He pitched a complete game, so I guess he really wanted it as well. LOL

No more controversial than Brandon Inge not getting hit by a pitch during the 163rd game against the Twins. Wink
I can't even say this latest call evens the score.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Bad series against the Red Sox.  The Tigs could only take 1 out of the 4 game series and only 1 out of the 6-game season series.  Too bad we didn't get them at the beginning of the season when they were playing bad.  Verlander was a beast last night though, outdueling Beckett for a 3 - 0 victory.  
 
The first game of the doubleheader was pretty good.  It was too bad that Big Papi beat Papa Grande for a home run in the 9th inning.  Tigers lost 4-3.  Apparently, I made national TV again, as that home run landed about 10 rows in front of my seats, and my dad called to tell me that he saw me.  LOL

I took out a copy of Ken Burns "Baseball - The Ninth Inning" on DVD at my library.  I own the Tenth Inning (which they had 3 copies of at the library), but they didn't have any others strangely enough.

Cliff Lee beasts it today going 2-4 with a 2B and 3 RBI. Plus Chase hits his first home run in a 10 - 4 win. And I have off tomorrow. And I have off Monday. I'm liking the tail end of this week.

The mercy rule should be in effect at the Red Sox - Tigers game.  Red Sox lead 14 to 1 over the Tigers in the 8th inning.  They are currently in a rain delay, but at this point they might as well be done with it.

Unless he woke up today with something wrong he's playing.

Baseball is about 140% better when Chase Utley is playing.
