My understanding is they want Al Al to pitch tonight no matter what, so they can see if he will be able to go back to back without having issues.

moustakas has been brutal thus far....kind of surprised the royals haven't sent him down yet....

prob regretting the betemit trade a tad.

[staegrac]

RP has been pitching very good here as of late

 

[tigermud]

alright I'll camp out here instead of espn boards for awhile see how it goes.. not into the game much tonight though just read we got downgraded by the S&P about hour ago officially AA+ now instead of AAA, this has me thinking about other things besides baseball tonight. :-(

Tigers looking good though 3-0 RP pitching well again it seems. l8r

Avila with a HR!!!! 3-0 Tigers!

sorry this is late...had to drive home from work. But dang AA is on a tear!

ummm doesnt that mean Armageddon and that the $ will be worth shit?

This is somewhat of a down year for Cabrera compared to last year. He is swinging at more stuff off the corner. He is still great, maybe just spoiled after how he did in 2010.
What do you guys think?

Means interest rates will increase.

Agree. He seems to be pressing more. Maybe I am wrong, but he seems less patient.

Armageddon is a bit strong...but the results of a decade plus worth of fiscal irresponsibility and partisan politics

 

[Mitchrapp]

I've been thinking that for awhile now. He's had like a quiet year. Good but just not dominate like im used to seeing.

Well not all at once, but yeah it isn't good.

The other day Rod said Cabby told him he hadn't been right the whole season.

Exactly KC, I mentioned it in a few game threads this year, that Cabrera should have been as good as or better this year with the protection he has now.

Maybe the DUI issues are still on his mind, perhaps some issues at home we don't know about, but while still very good, does not seem like the same player we saw last year.

Texas finally held the Indians scoreless in an inning.

 

[tycobb420]

I must say I like this board better than the ESPN Robust thing
