A lot of his triples are simply a matter of him running hard out of the box every time, rather than starting off in a trot and then turning it on only if it becomes clear he can take the extra base, as a lot of veterans tend to do.

Third AB, Groundout = 4.357 seconds. Fourth AB, Groundout = 4.356 seconds. I'd say his top speed is probably a 4.3 home to first, seeing as I didn't see full out sprinting on any of these - when a player hits a sure single, he doesn't tend to run as hard as when he has to beat out a throw...but both of the groundouts Curtis seems to run hard and then let up once he knows he's out so I don't have any sure way to know. But 4.35 seems to be about right. Granderson’s Times, running Home to First in this game:

He don't put out 110% he puts out 190%! and it makes a difference Grandy has that spark-plug energy that ignites the team. He don’t put out 110% he puts out 190%!

That said, I've seen that Maybin has another gear that he shifts into when he rounds first base, and I have to call him fastest.

As soon as I got home I took my Neifi shirt and hung it up. It is officialy my good luck charm as every game I’ve been to with it on we have won.

The question is, why would you even have such a shirt? Seriously.

Impression: It's working. ain't just the players supposed to earn them paychecks, that goes for them coaches too and it looks to me like they doin' it 2 I enjoyed especially Rudy Guillani visit in the press box. very articulate gentleman! in particular his commentary helped remind me baseball is mainly a sport and Rudy brought this out saying he love to have the Tigers come and play in New York more often . I liked that. It's a great rivalry and a good game is a lot of fun 3 on to KC and the villianous Royals. yeah. we all know the Yankees are tough, year in year out one of the best teams in baseball. and we love that cuz if ya can beat the best ya get to crow ( well for a little while anyway ( wait'll I get after Chris this morning ( tee hee ) ) ). But back to Kansas City. They are tough. And we will have to play 100% to beat them cuz guess what: beating KC ain't no easier than beating NY. Not as I see it. Yeah they ain't got the record but they got a good team and they gonna be ready for us when we get to KC cuz guess what: it's fun to be the best guys out there and they are gonna be wain't on our Tigers to show up in their town tonite! Let's give 'em a good old Growl! Notes — couple anyway while wife is trying to get orgainized ( tee hee )

It's great to have guys who can steal bases. Will be a big advantage in the playoffs; if only to throw off a pitcher's rythym. Yeh, that 3.9 is incredible by Maybin. He'll stay out of a lot of double plays with that speed. As soon as he learns the pitchers moves, I can see him stealing 60 bases a year. Go Tigers.
