Holy crap! The Tiger's bats are alive! :joy:

More like Mujica's arm is dead.

I wondered why they even bothered to bring him back up.

11-11 top of the ninth. No victory #15 for Lee tonight. :OHNO: Nice to see some hitting for a change, though.

I'm going to the game tommorrow. :D

I'm guessing Bret is down there now or he would be posting here.

ha-ha! The Tigers fans at Cleveland started chanting, "Let's go Tigers!", and the Indian's fans had to drown them out! :laugh:

Who is this guy ? Is it human? :freak:
Struck out with the bags juiced in the 12th, nobody out.

Indians had bases loaded in the 9th, 11th, and 12th and couldn't get a lousy walk:mad:

Tigers 14, Tribe 12

Eric Wedge SUCKS!!!!

Fausto is back today, though.

I guess the season is saved for the Tigers. :rolleyes:

It's only one game. There are still about 50 to go. Have a little faith baby. :cool:

Manny says the Red Sox don't deserve him. What don't they deserve? A guy that doesn't run out ground balls? A guy that plays a horrible OF? A guy that doesn't play against the Yankees because of a knee injury that doesn't show up on MRIs?

I blame the Red Sox for allowing this for so long. Manny being Manny has grown old and you need to trade him or at least suspend him for trashing the team and lying about his injuries.

Griffey Jr. to White Sox?

Any other last minute trades?

Marlins got Arthur Rhodes from the Mariners to help in the bullpen.

Where are the WhiteSox going to play Jr.? Barring another injury there's not a lot of room there with Thome at DH, Konerko at 1st and a full OF of Swisher, Dye & Quentin. I don't really get it from the Sox POV beyond very expensive depth and a big shiny name...

Konerko's been stinking it up lately. Word is that Swisher moves to 1st and Konerko is out.

Yikes - didn't realize Konerko was that bad. A .661 OPS at 1st is down right pathetic. 'Course who plays center if Swisher moves to first? Jr. & Dye can't and I thought Quentin was a definite corner. The defensive hit there is pretty big if you move Swisher. It's not like Jr.'s .245/.355/.432 line is awe inspiring.

You'd think the Sox could have found an adequate stick for 1b for less $ and w/o creating defensive issues in center.

They said as bad as Jr is in CF, Swisher isn't any better.

Yikes. I'll admit I was kinda' shocked they were really playing Swisher in center as he seemed an average corner guy, but I haven't seen him enough to properly judge.

BP's defensive numbers don't have Swisher as that bad in center -5 Runs vs. Average last year and -1 this. Compare that to Jr. who they had at -19 runs in '05 and -17 in '06 vs. average. If you can believe those numbers, Swisher is a lot better, albeit in a small sample size, but I can't believe Jr.'s D has gotten any better in the last 2 years. The Sox pitchers could be in for some real fun soon! :laugh:

Let's face it, even the Reds realized he was so bad in center now that they moved him. When the hometown team admits it, you know it has to be true...
