Tigers hang on to win despite Valverde trying to give away another one with 2 homers in the 9th. My Kingdom for a closer......

A's are pulling strong. Took the AL West last night.. See if they can hold that for a while now!

Valverde bites again. Gave up a 2 run homer in bot of the 9th erasing a 2-0 lead. KC was down to their last out. :-)

Detroit's bullpen sucks and blows.

Got to have a pitcher stick it out with those sluggers.

Watching Rays Royals on tv. Rays tv guys just said KC management invited all player's and travel personnel's dads on the 7 game road trip through StPete and Cleve.

That is a real classy move!!!

Tom, I know there is a bit over a month, but A's are in Detroit for the end of August, for a 4 game series. 5er on line for who takes the series?

Although the Tigers have been a disappointment so far, it would be unfair for me not to give you a chance to win some cigars back..,.Deal. :-)

If the Pirates aren't careful, they're gonna make it mathematically impossible to lose 100 games this year.
[Reply]

I wish I was able to watch last nights A's/Pirates game. Sure seemed like a good one.

That is the funniest sh1t I have seen in a long time. :-)

Big night for Alex Rios of the White Sox last night.
6 for 6 with a triple, a run, 2 rbi's, and 2 stolen bases.
That, my boys, is a good night's work. :-)

I believe it was the first time anyone ever got 4 hits off of Justin Verlander in a game, as well. I think I heard that on the tv awhile ago, but I'm not sure. Also not sure what happened to Justin last night, but Detroit's bullpen did exactly what it always does. *shakes head in dismay*

Tigers. Bullpen. Sucks.


That is all. :-)
[Reply]

I feel your pain Tom. At least your Tigers will still the Division. Can't say the same about my Mets. :-)
[Reply]

They did last year, too.
I can't believe they have no SP prospects that they could bring up to do closing work.
I know you don't want to wreck a kid by going cold and short, but they have to have a few guys with enough junk to get by without throwing all heat.
It's not like they have to do much to be better than what Detroit has right now. Even a different look would baffle opponents for a couple months.
I can only imagine the tapestry of obscenity that spews from Leland's head every time he goes to the bullpen. :-)

Jeter got himself a hit in his very first at bat coming back from the DH, ended up becoming a run.
It hit the front of the plate and slow-rolled up to 3rd and Renteria couldn't handle it. He'd probably not have made the throw in time even if the one-hander came off cleanly.

Like the Yankees or no, he's as great a ball player as has played the game. Gotta love him.
