I'll be sickened if we trade Fields for a middle reliever in his contract year.
He has an option for next season. And he's a setup man.
Fields to San Diego for Linebrink + spect
Garcia to the Mets for Heilman
McCarthy to the rotation
and suddenly I'm feeling a whole hell of a lot better about this team.

seriously...i am pissed off about this loss, but we played like spiff, on the road, and still had a chance to win each game....it pisses me off, but im not worried yet
Exactly
Magglio Ordonez has been a horrible RF since joining the Tigers, I guess all the secret surgeries in Austria really did fish with his legs.
GRANNY TIME.

They've already played him at 1b 8 games this year.
Yep and with all the Ben Broussard rumors out there, I really think he'll be starting at 1B on Opening Day next season.

Let me introduce you to my friend Victor Martinez. I think he might've missed 5 games this year.
And he's the worst defensive catcher in baseball behind Mike Piazza, some say that a contributing factor to that could be his lack of rest seeing how he's played nearly every game since comming into the bigs. There's a reason why he might be playing 1B next year.

I really dislike Chris Widger. What happened to the guy? *sigh* I hate seeing good players go bad for almost no reason.
I really hope he gets it going. Nice start Uribe!
He's a 35 year old career backup catcher who had been out of baseball before '05, there's a reason why Gary Bennett is having so many problems no a days in St. Louis.
Appearantly the singing hotdog vendor has gained about 30 pounds according to Farmer. Yesterday he said he was "eating his profits". Why must he dog the poor hotdog guy?
I hate sitting behind the 3B dugout at Comerica, that singing bastage is always in that area.

Conteras is not throwing over the top according to Farmer.
Hopefully we can learn how other teams get out the .248 hitting Monroe.
Yeah, he's almost exclusively throwing sidearm, this is not encouraging. Usually when he's on he'll throw mainly overhand then mix in a few sidarm fastballs in or sliders low and away to throw people off.

This team is just done right now. Physically, emotionally, they need that 2nd wind to hurry up and come cause right now, they got nothing left in the tanks.
Just do us all a favor and go away already.
