Damn, I don’t want to hate this team. But right now I think I’d rather watch two winos fighting over a bottle of that blueMD 20/20 in an alley.

So if this lead goes into the ninth, are they obligated to let Jansen try to close it?

They took out Montero? Well, I guess you have to look out for the arm of your only remaining ace.

This would be a good time for Colt Keith to hit his first homer of the year

Runs? Now that’s a concept…

Montero appears to be dealing. Ridiculously low pitch count too.

Thank God the Tigers signed Zack Short to a major league deal. It shows this team is not afraid to go for the gold. To reach for the stars. To make a statement. To believe in the future…

My enthusiasm level is at a low ebb. I have an immature, childish enthusiasm for the Tigers, but not a similar enthusiasm for baseball in general. So baseball for baseball’s sake is not in my wheelhouse. I may be MIA for this game. Kudos to all of you with more elevated connection to baseball and to this team.

There’s an interesting article on the resurgence of the use of bunts not just for sacrifices, but for base hits in MLB and the Rays of all people are leading all baseball with bunts. The article asks the question if the disparagement of bunting common for many years is making a comeback for sound strategic and statistical reasons. I would provide a link but mlb.com doesn’t support posting something directly to Safari for some reason and I’m not interested in going directly into Chrome or anything. And if you can’t look it up yourself, you’re pretty remedial.

I’m assuming the plane flight to Kansas City is not going to be very jovial but what do I know? You have to have ice water in your veins too do this 162 times a year and more if you’re actually good and get to the playoffs.

A really disappointing series. Saying much more than that though is waste of words.

Thanks. That’s good of you and that’s how I got it cheap last year but I don’t think they’re offering me that deal this time, to me at least. I had to re-up for $139.99 and what they’re telling me right now is that I’m not eligible for these kind of discounts this time and I think they’ve gotten better at closing the loopholes. But you never know…

Don’t suck Tork!

Enough, but the unibrow and the Albanian accent is just too much for me…

Yeah, but that’s sort of like it’s 2 AM and she’s the only woman left in a dive bar and I’m 24 and she’s 62…
