Were you disappointed by the short series against the Nationals? I sure was. Sweep the Astros, fall flat against the Washington National Angels (can’t they beat teams that wear red?)…what does that spell? It spells O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. Until the next bout of euphoria, anyway. The recently somewhat deflated and first place by a nose Detroit Tigers (19-13) [...]
Game 2013.44: Tigers at Indians
24-19, 1.5 in back of Cleveland, JV on the rebound vs. Jimenez the Menace coming up. Well, what do you know - Tui got a start against a righty. Nothing to show, took the ball for a ride the first time and struck out twice after that, but I'm still all for it. Is there a chance that this might not… [the full story]
DTW Book Club v1
This could fail miserably...but here goes. I found this gem on Amazon a few days ago (under "Books you may like" what does this say?).

This time, the… [the full story]
Game 2013.42: Tigers at Rangers
23-18, 2nd place, 1.5 games behind Cle (who have now won 4 in a row) Anibal Sanchez did his best Justin Verlander last night, and promptly got booted in the 3rd inning after allowing 11 base runners and 5 ER. The Tigers were never really in the game, and the best offense in baseball was tamed again… [the full story]
Game 2013.41: Tigers at Rangers
23-17, 2nd place, .5 games behind Cle (won earlier today) Wow, what a game last night. Spectacular effort by Porcello (that's now 24 Ks in his last 25 IPs - 3.24 ERA and a .96 WHIP...pretty salty), and the bullpen was almost as good. Luckily, I was at a graduation celebration last night and didn't… [the full story]
