The Fister one was really dumb, IMO. He should have done a much better job fixing/improving that bullpen. I heard Fuld will change his jersey name to Lew Ford when he plays against the Sox.

April 25, 201411 yr Its still early in the season, but its nice to see the Central all competitive in the standings Also, Kurt freaking Suzuki has 17 RBI and Brian Dozier has 22 runs scored Edited April 25, 201411 yr by Benchwarmerjim
April 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 10:02 AM) ehhhh .276/.288/.310/.598 He's now hitting .318. I think I saw he was hitting .298 a few days ago and assumed he'd have an OPS near .750. I guess he's hitting nothing but singles.
April 27, 201411 yr MLB Transactionist @MLBTransactions 16m DETROIT TIGERS: Placed pitcher Anibal Sanchez on the 15-day disabled list; recalled pitcher Justin Miller from Toledo (IL).
April 30, 201411 yr Jason Kipnis and Bruce Chen having issues. Both may end up on the DL, if that makes you feel better.
May 1, 201411 yr This Detroit domination thing is growing old. Are they going to win our division 18 years in a row or whatever the Braves did to their division in that one streak? It's really disgusting a city like fricking Detroit has built a team good enough to win this thing year after year. They are already six in the loss column ahead of the Sox with a very flawed team, which is not good. It's about over, in fact, where everybody will be rooting for our draft pick again.Six in the loss column is getting up there. Edited May 1, 201411 yr by greg775

The contracts are just piling up and they're starting to lose people because of it. They're a step back this year still and people might have had a shot at them if there was a competitive team in the division. They're in a lucky place where their competitors are all weak. That won't last forever.

Interminable sky-is-falling posts really aren't necessary. Detroit ain't all that - we just faced their two aces. The Tigers have played less games than anybody, 6 less than us, and their also-not-deep pitching staff won't be helped by the total lack of off days they'll be dealing with later in the year. The goal this year is for mgmt. to be convinced that we're close enough to go for it again heading into next year. I If we happen to be competing in July, things could change, but there won't be any mid-season overpays just to compete this year. And we're not out-of anything at 14-15. Relax, dude.

That won't last forever. Plus their core is really starting to age in terms of age, and in terms of baseball played. Eventually, that is going to catch up to them.

Too bad he forgot Chris Sale is on the disemboweled list.
May 3, 201411 yr Brian Dozier now with 8 homers. Would have thought it was possibly from Plouffe, but Dozier's really looking like an Uggla in the making.
