July 20, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) A mega-deal of Aramis Ramirez and Lilly makes a ton of sense for the Tigers. If the Cubs can dump some money, they would have to do it. I almost wonder if something more Cabrera-esque could happen where they get A-Ram, but also have to take on Z.
July 20, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) Apparently Brandon Inge has broke his hand and is going to be out for a while. 4-6 weeks.

I can't remember the last time I saw a team take on that much salary as a "dumped" player.
July 20, 201015 yr If the Tigers don't make some moves, they're as good as done with the schedule they have for the next 28 days. They have 14 road games against the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, and the Sox. Talk about the possibility of getting your ass whopped. They're also 16-29 on the road, so...good chance they're done by mid-August.

Hard to believe a team could make the postseason with such an inability to win on the road.

The craziest one ever is still the 87 Twins. 56-25 at home, 29-52 on the road. Second fewest wins for a World Series team ever, beaten only by the 2006 Cards who won 83 games during the regular season. That Cardinals team was 34-47 on the road.
July 20, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 06:23 PM) Rangers up 3-0 already. Is there a more terrifying 2-6 in baseball than what Texas throws out there every night?

Young Kinsler Hamilton Guerrero Cruz I would hate to face this team. The fact that Cruz hits 6th is scary. This is like our 06 offense, but even better. Edited July 20, 201015 yr by chw42

This is like our 06 offense, but even better. What's crazy is, if they REALLY wanted to, they'd have enough pieces in the farm to acquire Prince or Dunn and slide him over to 1B in place of the garbage Chris Davis.

And Bengie Molina is somehow hitting again. Andrus isn't a bad leadoff man either.
July 21, 201015 yr Man the Indians defense sucks. That official scorer in Minnesota must be blind, a ball went right off of Jason Donald's glove that was hit right at him and he ruled it a hit. Either that or he's doing favors for the Twins hitters. Another reason why errors are a horrible way to evaluate defense. Not only is it subjective, but these guys are doing favors for their home town hitters at times. Edited July 21, 201015 yr by chw42
July 21, 201015 yr the Target Field scorers are horrible. Why do you think the Twins had so few errors until they had an extended road trip

All you have to do is go back and watch the Rios/TCQ play from our series to know that.
July 21, 201015 yr i'm way more worried about the twins than the tigers.... the tigers don't play a team below .500 til august 20th...a full month the twins on the other hand have a much more favorable schedule

I agree. It's coming down to us and the Twins.

July 21, 201015 yr I wonder if the tigers would give Crede a try. He's apparently ready, or very close to it.
