Best paragraph of the article: "But by any reasonable standard, the team's successes vastly outnumber their mistakes. Trading Ramon Santiago for Guillen by itself outweighs the combined impact of just about every bad decision this administration has made." As I've pointed out previously, Guillen's numbers are at the Jeter level. So DD basically got a Derek Jeter for (1) no players in return and (2) 1/5 the cost. The SI/BP piece is a must-read.

In short, he won't get a lot of innings. Of course the way this season is going, he'll blow people away and become an important arm in the bullpen.

I know his backround, but is he really that good and mature enough to contribute to our team this year? Did I miss something?

I also enjoyed his description of Sparky keeping them loose for the 84 playoffs. I saw Gibbie and it was pretty good. I also enjoyed his description of Sparky keeping them loose for the 84 playoffs.

It happens. Reason? Simple: they got the hit when it counted, we didn't. Robertson can't be faulted, he pitched well. We got hits, just not at the right time. Such is life; never expected to win 'em all. Tomorrow is another game..... :-) well, tonight we lost. It happens. Reason? Simple: they got the hit when it counted, we didn’t.

Not being able to score with bases loaded w/ no outs was the killer, but these guys don't let that happen very often. We'll get em tomorrow. Did anyone see Kirk Gibson on the Best Damned Sports Show, last night. He showed alot of class. Giving Jim Leyland his due for what this team has accomplished this year. He let everone know he loves the Tigers and is pulling for them every day. Not the best outing.

God bless 'em. They deserve it (with a capital 'D') but things usually start getting suspect when the talking heads are totally on yr side... Tomorrow I'm going to the game...first one I've made this season...it's going to rawk!!! yeah, I just hope they aren’t starting to get complacent…they’re going through a spot of ‘best team in years’ hype…
