QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 10:10 PM) FWIW Leyland said he does not expect him back this year. Leyland also said he would be very shocked if the Tigers made any big trades. He said this on Friday evening of last week.

QUOTE (Indy_Soxer @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 09:10 AM) Has anyone listened to the new Frank Ocean album? Have heard good things. I have yet to give it a listen though. No, but it has to be amazing with a name like that

QUOTE (MEANS @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 11:14 AM) saw Fiona Apple last night here in Indy, it was a really good show. She's playing in Vegas in Sept...I think I shall buy tickets...she is incredible. Also, I know it's not particularly cool as an adult male to enjoy pop music, but anyone a fan of Sia? Been kicking around some of her stuff recently and really dig her.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 09:50 PM) Tons against the Royals, too. Glad to see the Sox win again. Paulie baby! I didn't see the game. I need to check mlb for a replay of Paulie's bomb and see how he did it. Maybe he got a cortisone shot or something. Go look at your buddy Alex Rios' bomb...

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) Originally we clocked in, got a half an hour for lunch and two paid 15 minute breaks. Now they are switching over to a computer log in for our time worked but it isn't developed yet so I am going to keep track of hours in a book and excel document. Why wouldn't they just make you punch a time card? How ridiculous.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 09:54 PM) Ugh, here we go again I was figuring you were thinking that too...

This deal merely puts the Tigers in better position to compete with the White Sox.

They are keeping track of hours by looking at the security camera? Jeesh, what is wrong with these fools.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) the opposite of true. just nothing that's prepackaged and processed. Yeah, back to the coconut water that's more than 10 cents an ounce

We'll give you Nate Jones and Phil Humber, Terry!

Offer to trade for him RIGHT NOW Kenny

My Man! Mercy!

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) Looks like the Captain is back El Caaapppeeeehhhhtaaaahhhhnnnnnnn!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) Exactly what we need! Maybe they got fed up of all the MCab/Fielder talk!

Jason, start cursing Beckham more!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:05 PM) I'll bet you my car he doesn't pitch on Thursday. You sly dog, you

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) You cant handle the truth! Your line was "You're goddamned right I did!"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) He just threw 3.1 yesterday. You won't see him til at least Wed, if not Thu. But Baron ordered the code red...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) Why would they want to do that? Way too much respect to Mauer there. Because we need another SP?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 07:51 PM) Can't remember the last time Floyd hit 94 MPH as much as he has tonight. Encouraging. I wonder what we could get for Humber and Nathan Jones....would that get us Volquez? I think we have to keep Floyd around at the point and hope to get him straightened out.

We went off at only like -115 the other day when Sale was pitching...it seems like they are keying in heavily on how each team is playing at the moment just as much as the pitching matchups.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:19 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale Ichiro asked for trade two weeks ago, #MAriners say Good for him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:16 PM) Meghan Montemurro ‏@M_Montemurro GM Kenny Williams on any way Sox potentially become sellers at trade deadline instead of buyers: "Oh hell no." I love Kenny.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) Dunn was still hitting dingers pretty regularly, though his average was dipping. Konerko is in a bgi slump, but starting to get a few hits - you don't move a guy like that down. He's Paul Konerko, and has shown what will happen next. Feel free to see it how you will, but I think its silly and damaging to start tinkering with the lineup at this point (again, beyond days off here and there). And others think it silly to keep going with the same damn lineup day after day after day, in the face of the same poor results. Obviously it is a matter of opinion as to how it will affect each individual hitter, but the actual statistics point to moving certain guys. I'm not sure why you think this notion is "silly," when your entire premise is based on something that is entirely speculative and ill-informed.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:05 PM) Angels have the best record in baseball since the end of April. They are playing fantastically and just took 2 out of 3 from the Rangers. From a rotation perspective, CJ Wilson and Weaver have been money. Haren should be back shortly. There offense is better (Trumbo, Trout, and Pujols is sick). They also are playing with no legit catcher (until Stewart comes backs) and have one of the best bullpen era's in baseball. Angels are also very very strong defensively. Tigers have a similar rotation, well, until Haren comes back. Haren/Weaver/Wilson is very strong from a post-season perspective. Tigers don't have anything close to that strong that they can throw out in the playoffs and there pen is not near as good either. Tigers aren't that good of a team. They are a playoff contender who people overrated because they signed Prince (and didn't realize how much they played above their talent a year ago). I won't be surprised if they make the playoffs, but they aren't near as good as the upper echelon teams in the majors, imo. I agree...and Haren came back last night and pitched against the Rangers. Is supposedly pain-free.
