Not sure how much can be attributed to this, but Jones had a fan thrown out of the park (after words were exchanged) just less than 15 minutes before he started warming. Guy said something about Zumaya's mom and Zoom got riled. Jones really acted like the Captain in the bullpen tonight; even sat on a chair that was literally on top of the bullpen. As much sh*% as I give the guy, he's a leader. Other nice thing about sitting next to the pen in Seattle is my 3-yr old scored Freddy Solid's autograph. Super nice guy. Nice pics to boot. Beautiful night at SAFECO, overall. Always love a Silva game. Gotta say, the Tigs travel well. Always makes me glad I follow this team. Keep it fun! Back from the game as well.

This one was fun. Great to see Hollimon's first HR. Some great plays by both teams. No Seattle HRs, so I didn't have to endure them misappropriating "Funk Blast" for someone other than the Dr. himself. Fun night at the ballpark. Place was <i>dead</i>, though. Attendance couldn't have been more than 15,000. Back from the game. This one was fun. Great to see Hollimon’s first HR. Some great plays by both teams.

That said, standing for 9 innings at first base and running to the bag and stretching out for throws I'm sure hurt it worse than running out a double or something of that ilk would.

He still needs to run the bases, Mike. If he's really hurt, he should sit or go on the DL, as hard as that is to swallow with Maggs already on the DL. They don't need another performance of the long-running smash musical "If Only He Was Healthy," starring Gil instead of Gary this time. “so Migg’s can get in there and rest that hip flexor/bum leg he’s got.”

I'm not knocking Jose Guillen, maybe he had an excellent month, but his headline over at the Pepsi thing was too funny: "Provided veteran leadership all month." Aha.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but ... I think I'd like to see Gary Sheffield move out of the DH spot solely so Migg's can get in there and rest that hip flexor/bum leg he's got. I don't want to see his bat out of the lineup altogether (especially with Magglio out) but that's my 2nd preferable option. Though, Sheff out of the DH spot means Thames to 1st and less time for Joyce/Clete but ... I think I'd be okay with that. I just want so badly to see a 100% healthy Miguel Cabrera. I get the feeling that it's very Magglio Ordonez circa 2006-2007 with more power. Joyce, Clete, Hollimon had a good game collectively.

That's why the community gets to pay to build the stadiums and arenas. But it puts so much into the local economy! Uh-huh. Owners are all about community.

The Browns etc.. I'm watching Sportscenter now and it's 30 minutes in and no mention of the franchise move. Yeah, the Colts one is another moment of sports infamy. The Browns etc..

Community is not in their vocabulary. How about the middle of the night Baltimore Colts move. Stephan,The @%^#@$% owners look at the bottom line. Community is not in their vocabulary.
