If they want to, they can acquire Hamels/Greinke if they give up Turner and Castellanos.

Tigers on the ropes after being ahead 3-1 and then tying it again at 6-6.

 

Lots of bullpen issues for the Tigers.

 

Mauer and Willingham have been playing extremely well. Plouffe and Revere, too. But pitching, yikes.

 

Mauer just hit his 5th homer. 8-6 Minnesota, Twins still hitting in the top of the 9th.

 

Benoit pulled...really struggling.

Royals made two roster moves last night. First they sent Vin Mazzaro back to Omaha, then they also DFA'd Mitch Maier. Pitchers Louis Coleman and Mate Adcock were recalled from Omaha.

 

The Royals only have 38 players on their 40-man roster. Perfect opening for Wil Myers and Jake Odorizzi to join us after the All-Star Break...

And who will they bench to play Myers?

 

They'll just give up on Cain?

 

Too bad they dealt Cabrera!!!

Indians beating up on Santana so far today. Sucks they didn't face CJ Wilson during the series, and they miss David Price this weekend.

Why isn't Myers up? They are past the arb cut off.

Choo and Austin Jackson have been monsters in the leadoff spot this year for their teams. It's nice that ADA has done so well in the same spot of the lineup.

MLB tonight last night, for some reason, used De Aza, and compared his stats to Justin Upton and how similar they are. It was odd how they chose Alejandro.

This Tampa lineup without Longoria and Joyce is terrible. I'll be happy if they split with the Indians this weekend.

Damn, Tomlin picked a good time to pitch a great game.

 

Hafner's back, too. Still have that huge weakness with Damon in LF, and Hannahan's not going to give you what Chisenhall was delivering from 3B offensively.

 

Twins had the Tigers down 3-2 and then Detroit blew them away late. 2-2 split at DET was a great result for us, though.

 

 

Boy are the Twins bad. How fast they fell. The other night I assumed they were going to hammer Detroit (after a nice lead), I watched the game only to see that was short lived. That has to be a frustrated city of fans. What are they going to wait for? Football season? No light at the end of that tunnel.

Hockey.

So that Melky Cabrera for Jonathan Sanchez trade hasn't worked out well for the Royals, has it?

I called that from day one. If you can't control your stuff, it doesn't matter how good it is.

Did you call Melky Cabrera turning into an MVP candidate?

I've always been a fan, but I think that's cause he's killed the Sox in his career. I am a pretty big advocate of not trusting pitchers from San Fran and San Diego

Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain is my response to that?

your use of question marks makes you come off as a condescending douche. just saying.

Career 3.59 ERA for Cain on the road (3.03 ERA at home). 3.33 ERA for Lincecum on the road, 3.14 ERA at home. Both were very good pitchers heading into this year, but I think both would be closer to 3.75 ERA pitchers in the AL.

I think Cain's a legit sub 3.50 ERA guy in the AL as well. Lincecum...Cy Young level linecum was a sub-3 ERA pitcher in the AL, but he's been so inconsistent with his work ethic and it leads to those stretches where he gets shelled.

I was disappointed when Melky was traded. He was very good for us last year. I've also never been sold on Lorenzo Cain.
