Someone else must have seen Cobb's at BR and Dirks first grandslam tonight.

Wow. That fan has to be pretty old, if you saw both.

Those events happened 102 years apart to the DATE, for Pete's sake!

We really need to win this series if not sweep, since we're heading out to Texas to face the Rangers and then the Indians.

FYu Darvish has struck out 40.5% of the batters he has faced so far this season. On pace for 376 K's this year.

Tigers now 5-0 v. Houston, have outscored Astros 44-10 in the 5G...win moves them 1/2 game ahead of Indians, who split DH w/ NYY today...

 

[kalinecountry]

Since sitting 4G w/ sore knee, Dirks has hit .354 w/ 4HR in 48AB..w/ much higher walk rate, could be nice leadoff fill-in while AJ is out...

Great game! Im glad Dirks is playing well, this is a good time for it.


I really want Kelly off the team though so that Leyland cant keep starting him in CF. He SAYS hes going to give Garcia the majority of the starts, but can we actually trust what he says, especially when it comes to kelly?

Do you suppose those guys all just laugh at Cabrera's jokes, even if they don't understand a Dagon word he's saying, just because they kind of have to?

about 1/2 of the team understands him!

Someone should have asked Bo Porter his opinion of Dirks's performance.

 

[spockmaster]

kelly is starting again today. **** you, leyland.
