Crap, every once in a while they'll score multiple runs at home in the 9th inning just to tease us, back to only 1 game out. Exhausto, 3 straight quality starts. Uh-oh!!!

[slotdirt]

We'll see what the trade deadline yields. The Tigers are already on the high end of payroll, and I can't see them adding something substantial. Who knows where the Indian ownership's collective noggins are?

Non sequitur, but Justin Verlander threw 100 plus pitches for the 41st straight start last night. Nobody has had that kind of streak in the expansion era. He's a throwback (now that I say that, he'll come down with elbow tenderness in a week).

I think just Verlander makes the Tiggers the favorite plus a semblence of an offense. the White Sox and Indians have more pitching than Detroit, but simply pathetic offense. I mean bad. Tribe got no hit today by the way, which tells the story of their offense!!

[slotdirt]

The Tigers aren't exactly breaking any scoring records. Losing 2/3 to the friggin White Sox hurts.

If this trade happens it will go down as one of the worst trades ever made in basebally history..

The swine at Prez and his puppet at GM have no idea how to handle being in a "playoff race" because they don't know that we AREN'T!!



Trade away our best prospects for a PITCHER!!...who is not exactly Sandy Koufax!


We can lose 1-0 ...we KNOW that!

I think clyde this is a reaction to after the 1997 season when Pedro Martinez could have been ours and we refused to include Jaret Wright in any deal because of his "potential". We all know the careers both of those had after the 1997 season. Not saying this will turn out the same nor that Jimenez is anything close to Pedro, but I understand the logic. I don't think it means crap overall as it's hard to see them winning anything, but it clearly states they are all in for 2011, 2012, and 2013....then it's over again for quite awhile. White throws a splitter and has already had middle finger problems (don't we all!!) and Pomeranz had issues in college too. It's a crap shoot with both guys. Both could be great, both could be terrible. I think it's likely one of the two will turn out good. I honestly can't praise or bash this deal. I see the logic to both sides of the debate though. (every time I leave my house for awhile all hell breaks loose in Cleveland!!)
