I mentioned this against the Rangers game and then he went and hit a homerun. I don't know if his timing is off a bit, hurt and trying to play throught it, but he's not the Carlos of last year. He does seem to be trying to step up defensively, though. Maybe in a mini-slump, I hope that's all it is. I have to agree with you on Guillen, Billfer.

The way Durbin is pitching I say it is an easy choice. Let the kid pitch his way out of the rotation.

I remember that story resurfacing when Prince began playing professional baseball. Even back then, folks new that kid had some pop in his bat. Yep, Mike R.

Guys like Glavine seem to give us fits. Sosa wasn't going to give in to any hitters tonight (large strike zone surely helped him and durbin out). I wasn't too amped for this series. But I'm so excited to see Prince Fielder play in Detroit. It'd be real cool if it were at Tiger Stadium still, though. I saw a thing a couple years ago on Real Sports on HBO (Prince was still in the minors) talking about his relationship with his dad and how he and his mom don't converse with his dad and how his dad's in debt and gambles and a bunch of stuff (typical bad father stuff).... then he said he used to hang around the clubhouse and when he was 16 years old took batting practice with the Tigers on an off day and promptly put one on the roof in LF.

I don't know if it was jetlag or what, but it was like a little league game with all of those pop-ups! - not to mention the legally blind umpire. Frustrating. But a well deserved ovation for Durbin.

Not like it matters, but Leyland was pretty sure about it. So – did that guy really leave third base early?

Not like it matters, but Leyland was pretty sure about it.

I think Leyland feels bad for the fans when they continue to lose at home. All these sell out games. Fortunately, the fans aren't complaining too much since we are still very competitive and can be the division leaders. Sure is.

Predictable loss. We've got Bonderman tomorrow to get a win. But this is 4 straight home losses. 3 straight losses for Mets coming in on a short flight. Predictable loss.
