so you don't think a million dollar manager doesn't check with his farm league managers or looks up box scores DAILY during the 12 hours he's awake for in a day?

I think you're confusing manager with GENERAL manager.

Leylands job is the Tigers, Bakers job is the Reds, they have GM, asst. GM, and scouts to know about the guys in the minors.

Man, peeps need to stop badmouthing primus.

Les Claypool is the man.

Did Primus do the theme song for South Park?

Rockies manager Tracy on Tigers Scherzer: "He came out stronger after the rain delay & threw over 120 pitches. That's the performance of a warrior & a stud".

Dodgers tied it in the bottom of the 9th and won it in the 10th. White Sox lose 2-1. 3 games back.

Leyland on the team's struggles so far this season:


“If we get back to pretty much normal, not that anybody’s made any excuses, but then you have no excuses,” he said. “It wasn’t like we were playing great when we had everybody healthy, but you want to get ‘em back. If you get ‘em back and you don’t do something, then shame on us.”

So Leyland wants to see consistency on a team built upon a powerful (and pricey) lineup along with the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. The clubhouse, he said, is made up of “great guys.”

Absent is what Leyland called “a mean streak” and he’s still looking for it to appear.

“I can’t really put my finger on it,” Leyland said. “I’m embarrassed to say that because that’s kind of my job. We haven’t been able to for whatever reason we haven’t sustained that sense of urgency. When I say that, I don’t mean guys aren’t playing hard, guys aren’t trying. I just mean that little extra edge that you need if you want to be a mean bastard, we really haven’t done that very well.

“I don’t want to paint any excuses here. For whatever reason, we haven’t just done a good enough job of going for the throat. When you smell something, you’ve got to make sure you’re locked into that mentality. And we just haven’t done that as well as I would have expected or as well as I would have liked or as well as we need to if we’re going to be good like we are. We are good. We just haven’t shown it enough yet.”

I joined a frat my senior year in college. During hell week we had to stay at the frat house. They blared this song pretty much non-stop for the entire week....for hours at a time. I actually still like the song.

It's a great song and a great band. I saw them live and they were fn killer...
