Dan it should have been 5-2 sox. Oh well..

Man Rowand is just KILLING the ball.

Crede.. Wow.

I'll be in the chat.

Crede racks em up.

Loaiza walks a speedster..

Jurassic Carl K's but El Caballo makes it a 2-2 tie.

Not a good swing by Kong. 2 outs.

EL CABALLO!!!! GAME TIED!!!

Good start. The dreaded lead-off walk.

We might have to come up with 10 runs today to support Loaiza's ass.

HE GAWN, but damage done. 2-0 Tiggers.

Naw he was safe. BTW, nice hit by White. 2-0 Tigers.

2 broken bat hits (Pudge & Guillen)

1-0 Detroit.

f***in Loaiza (he also isnt getting the calls like last year) Pudge gets a hit. (he's amazing this year) 1st n 3rd

Well Infante pops out to Kong, Higginson walks, IRod up.

Willie's OBP is better than half the players on the team. (He's right around Carlos Lee) He's doing this n the leadoff spot which is good. He's walking more and he's K'ing less. And Aaron is a solid plyer yes. But he gt a chance to play more like he is now, he can be a star. Since May 25 he's hitting .350. That was when Maggs wen down. Aaron Rowand is a stud.

Hell, some people on the boards would have been happy if he would be hitting .250. He has a chance to finish between .270-.290 this season.

Crede seriously has to step up today. Especially considering he's batting 6th tonight.

I would take a look at him..

Willie is not what you would call a star. He is a "solid" player. That's all we want in him. Eric Young has 0 homers for the Rangers, and Texas loves his production cause he gets on base. Now I've noticed that Willie is starting to get hot. Wait till another week or so when he has like a .280 or so average. I've already explained that he needs to steal more..

Here's my 2 cents. Why in the f*** do you want him to hit for power? We already have Lee, Kong, Everett, Crede, Rowand, Valentin (hell, even Uribe) who have all the pop to hit homers and drive in runs. Guys like Willie, Timo isto get on base. It's that simple. A leadoff hitter's job is to get on base. As I already posted Willie has 5 walks to only 1 strikeout in his last 4 games. The only knock on him is he's not running enough. I'm very happy to see a Rowand/Lee/Kong hit a 2 or a 3 run bomb when he's on base or hit a sac. fly when he's onbase. That's his job. Not to hit homeruns, not to drive in runs, but to get on base, and to score on whoever's driving him in.... Just my 2 cents.

Just about 35 min. till game time!!

Willie Harris' last 4 games. 4-10 (.400) 1RBI 12B 4R 5BB 1SO Looks like he's getting hot to me. The only reason Willie was slumping a bit was beacause he was hardly playing (Uribe was hot during that time then started to fade which has Willie playing again) Now Willie's BA is better thn Uribe's and Willie is getting on base a hell of alot more.
