Nothing like a former Tiger hitting, homering, and scoring runs vs his former ballclub. Especially when he was traded away for peanuts....Thanks, Al Avila!!

Side note: Angels releasing Albert Pujols in final year of decade-long contract. I wonder why now?

According to source, #Angels slugger Albert Pujols was upset that he wasn't in lineup to face #Rays bulk LHP Ryan Yarbrough last night, and that the decision to bench him came from front office, not MGR Joe Maddon. Pujols was 6 for 9 with 2 HR, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs vs. Yarbough.

Cabrera: 0 for his last 27 ABs. 13Ks .037OBP.

I wonder how CI feels about paying Cabrera $30 million to wear a uniform and warm the bench. I bet (know) he?s furious. And Cabrera gets a $2 million raise next season.

I expect that there will be a concerted effort to encourage Cabrera to retire or restructure his deal. He?s an anchor on a team that is already shipping water.
