Javy vazquez picking up where he left off with the pinstripes.

What a bum this guy is

We get Lincecum on Wednesday. Hoping to give him his first L.

Too bad Halladay goes tomorrow, that would be a great matchup.

Tigs split in TX and end an 11 game road trip (M's, Halos, Rangers) 5-6. Now back to Detroit for a 3 game set against the division leading Twinkies.

5-6 is pretty good considering that long road trip.

Bob Uecker to Undergo Heart Surgery

The Milwaukee Brewers announced Tuesday that Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker is expected to undergo heart surgery this Friday and miss the next 10-12 weeks in recovery.

Dr. Jim Kleczka said at a press conference that Uecker has an enlarged aorta and an aortic valve that needs to be replaced.

"Something needs to be done," Kleczka said. "He's at high risk of something bad happening."

Kleczka has been monitoring Uecker's condition since last September, but the announcer noticed a turn for the worse when he had to change his breathing pattern while swimming on the Brewers' most recent road trip.

Twins score 1 and leave the bases juiced...AGAIN!

Liriano skunks the Tigers thru eight...Will they let him finish the job this time?

Nope...To hell with the most overrated statistic in all of sports....The save.

Ugly K to end the game. Twinkies win, Tigers not good enough tonight.

On a more positive note, my son's Little League team won their season opener tonight 12-0.

Lost to Baltimore today, Giradi freaked out in the 6th and over managed and teh game got out of hand.

Huges was ahead 2-1 and easily got 2 outs in the 6th, when Joe decides 110 pitches is enough (as if 5 more and his arm would fall off) and brings in a lefty to face a lefty.

Ol Boone walks the guy he's supposed to get out, and he's yanked for Robertson, who promptly hits a guy with a 0-2 pitch, followed by two straight singles and bye bye lead.

After another hit they finally pull him, but NY was now trailing 4-2 on the way to a 5-4 loss.

Wait a minute, so that's like 3 yanks in a row after 8 scoreless for him, right?

I don't agree about the save though. The STATISTIC is over-rated, but it's a tough job closing out a game.

 

[Oddball]

Seven the first time and eight the last two.

23 scoreless innings and no CG shutout to show for it.

 

[Paulie]

I didn't notice that you mentioned the "statistic" part up there, I basically just made a redundant statement there about the save

Wow though. I'm speechless about the Liriano thing.

 

[Oddball]

Scott Baker stinks up the joint yet again...Gags up a 5-run lead.

He'd better get his poop in a group soon, or he's on the express bus to the bullpen.

 

[Paulie]

The Phils have gotta be the streakiest team in the league.

 

[Oddball]

Twins give up 6 in the bottom of the 6th, aided by a really, REALLY horrible call.

 

[Big Black Dog]

Just one thing to say about baseball. Go Phillies. That about says it all.

 

[Oddball]

Thanks, Forrest.

 

[Paulie]

Linc shuts us down, and if not for late inning heroics we would have been swept.

I'm not real comfortable about our situation right now, except that some of our guys out are close to being back.

But hey, at least Howard got his 25 mil a year

I've been on the Tigers m/b all game. 90% of Tigers fans say.......it was a catch.

Runs would still probably have scored since it was only the 2nd out, but Gardenhire is well within his rights to be massively pissed.
