It happens. A mental mistake more than anything. Unlike BJ Upton, it didn't cost his team the game. Calm down, killer. It happens. A mental mistake more than anything.

True Tiger fans have a moral obligation to greet him tonight with a chorus of boos that shakes the buildings. Sheffield loafing half the time, now Maggs gets in on the act. Not sure I can pay to watch crap like that. Might not renew my season tickets next year. I'd rather players like that lose. Maggs display of disrespect to fans should not be tolerated.

I wouldn't. I mean, he's OK. Good defender. Some pop. But he really only had that <i>one</i> great season in LA. Other than that he's been meh. Though maybe getting him out of Seattle would improve his production, as that park seems to kill righty power quite a bit, as evidenced by his home/road splits. He's allergic to walks, though. I don't like hitters like that. Anyhoo, he's still under contract. I wouldn't trade anything for him considering Guillen has been reasonably decent at 3B anyway.

Here we go again. Adrian Beltre = Anal Beer Dirt. God help us all. Oh no. Here we go again.

Adrian Beltre = Anal Beer Dirt.

God help us all.

Yeah, but not at 3B. If they can't get Beltre, I want Hessman. “I think we’ve covered this ground before.”

He's a bum, sure, career AAA tops, but he's <i>our</i> bum, pending the inevitable DFA as soon as Hessman is ready to take his place.

Plus, with the sweep avoidance, there's still a chance for the lousy August I projected. Yeah, I was out of town, too. Not boycotting the games or the game threads. It's still Tigers baseball. Lotsa interesting things still to come, playoffs or no. It pains me to see Thames suck. Good to see Cabrera rock. Good to see Robertson out of the rotation and in the pen.

I suppose some folks are out of town (as I just was) or off enjoying the last few days of nice weather. At any rate, being 11 out doesn't help matters either.
