Do you think we could get him back? We were such fools for letting him go last time.

Haase's power has vanished. 29 hits, only 6 for extra bases.

OK here's a righthander, pinch hit for Cabrera

5 innings and 3 runs from Faedo, that's about what would be expected.

And now we got trouble, starting 3rd time through the lineup.

Faedo's HR's are way up over last year, but his WHIP is way down.

And then an 8 pitch inning!

2-0 lead. Satisfactory.

Right on, man!

Modi is a nasty little prick.

In 1963, Henry Aaron and Willie McCovey tied for the National League home run lead. How many did they hit? What were their uniform numbers?

Never mind that ****, I have a bigger problem. How will I know if my Melba toast is stale?

Ibanez playing second, Schoop playing third.

Here's a list of teams that have a worse W/L record than the Tigers: Cleveland, White Sox, KC, Oakland, Philadelphia, Washington, Cubs, Cincinnati, St. Louis, San Francisco, San Diego, Colorado.

I agree, having Cabrera means playing a man short. I don't gripe about it because Mike Ilitch can't hear me, he's dead. So we will get through it, Cabrera will start against lefthanders. If Carpenter can come back, and Schoop gets cut to accommodate him, that would make a big difference. Among other things it would prevent us from fielding those oh-so-clever lineups with 9 righthanded batters. It is strange to think that success could hinge on the performance of Maton and Vierling but tonight's game demonstrated what a difference it would make if those 2 guys performed the way Harris envisioned things. Not every night, just 400 PA's each.

Oh that is so beautiful...choirs of angels.

Well those of us who wanted more out of Maton and Vierling, it turns out that all we had to do was ask.

Come on Baddoo, need another run.

Englert only needed a triple for the cycle.

Baddoo is enjoying himself.

Good game Boyd, now let's pull him

Pining for Harold and Willi.

Candelario has 10 hits in his last 15 ABs. Prior to that, on May 14, his slash line was .211/.276/.354. I don't miss him but I do wish that Maton and Vierling were playing better.

"by in large"

Maton and Vierling shouldn't be playing but there is no one at Toledo to replace them, so they have to play and we have to hope that they figure things out.
