If we lose, the relievers will get blamed, but it wont be their fault.

Something has to be done with Magglio..

Last 8 days. Magglio is 1 for 19 ... that includes today's games...Look at his last 7,14, and 28 days...

We got rid of Inge because he could not hit. Magglio cannot do anything anymore..

Betemit is now 13 for 31 this month (.420) with 7 RBI which is tied for the team lead with Avila for the month. Not bad considering he has played in 2 fewer games.

Lets hope that with his play of late we can keep getting him some AB.

One of the three best 'bad ball hitters" the last 50/60 years along with
Yogi and Clemente.

Bruce Chen has a 1 hitter through 6 at Chicago.

leyland loves kelly way too much. he has apparently decided that kelly is as good as betemit and has been platooning them. someone needs to take out kelly so leyland stops using him stupidly.

or take out leyland. whichever.

If we keep going into the 9th with 1 run leads, maybe Valverde will get 50 saves this year..

 

[biggunsbob]

I cannot believe we only have 5 runs... That is flat out terrible...

 

[turok]

Shaping up to be yet another one-run nail biter ending, absent an insurance run or two by the Tigers in the 9th, of which there has been too many lately.

First time in 7 games we've been able to score more than 4 runs.
