Man, I'm glad I only root for Cleveland when it helps the Tigers or hurts the BoSox. To say they'd be hard to watch this year is an understatement.

Depends on what they wanted, but I'd absolutely consider it, too. His FIP is really good and he's been really good at throwing strikes. Put him in front of the great Tigers D and he could munch up some innings. I wouldn't give up too much to get him, especially to Cleveland, but it's worth a call.
Well sure, you aren't trading Strieby and Crosby for the guy. But, I'd see if they're just looking at the ERA and desperate to get something of value for him, offer up Marte or Fien for him.
Inge had been planning to spend the All-Star break with his family on the western side of the state along Lake Michigan. He'll now be quickly changing those plans and bringing his wife and two kids to St. Louis.
He also indicated as far back as last weekend that he'd be interested in taking part in the All-Star Home Run Derby if he made the team.
"Heck, yeah," Inge said. "I don't care if I hit none. It would be fun to just try."

2009 Season (AA-AAA): 4-2, 4 Sv, 2.73 ERA, 42 G, 69.1 IP, 21 ER, 4 HR, 63/25 K/BB, .214 BAA
I just noticed... The Tigers have fewer home losses than anyone in baseball. That's especially significant, considering the start the Dodgers got off to at home!

No, Eric, he won't. Podsednik gave him a 10 pitch battle for the last out, and after fouling away lots of fastballs and a couple of curves on the outside black, Wood throws him a hard slider about 8 inches inside and Podsednik strikes out.

And I think I heard Rod Allen say that the Tigers have played more road games during the first half than anyone in baseball -- which means we'll have a good home schedule for the stretch run.
Chicago and Minnesota both lose. My favorite Tiger gets selected to the ASG and will be in the HR Derby. We got Cleveland coming to town tomorrow. I would say this is a pretty damn good off day.

Remember Andrew Miller? He's on the mound vs. Arizona tonight. This has been one ugly off-day as there have been no real good matchup's around the league. I gave Hanson vs. Cook a try in Atl vs. Colorado but to no avail.
Miller just gave up a 2 run shot to Upton. Poor kid.

I do indeed think it's a man, but in Windsor you can go topless. And I do think it's Windsor, but it's still a tricky call... did Bert realize how complex the picture he posted would become!?
I thought it was Belle Island but I could be wrong. I'm sure it's a man, too. And the "girl" is a she-male. You're all wrong and I'm right, nyah nyah nyah...Did someone say "controversial?"

There's nothing hot about the one who we are pretty sure is a girl.
It is the action that is hot, not the girls. Since they are both girls (we hope) then the action is necessarily hot.

Tim Lincecum has thrown 29 consecutive scoreless innings as of right now (6 innings deep in a no-hit bid against the Padres). More impressive than that: it's been 24 innings since anyone reached 2nd base against him. Good lord.
That said, his fastball velocity is down quite a bit this season. Is he pacing himself? He isn't really a guy who lives and dies by his fastball anyway. Overall, he's probably got the best offspeed arsenal in baseball, and certainly the best changeup (it's really a splitter) from a righty.

I've always thought he was a long-term injury waiting to happen. But for now, he is a joy to watch pitch. Simply dominating.

Timmy is having some serious control issues in the 7th in SF. Bases loaded, 2 outs for SD.
He's had spotty control all night. He didn't throw a ton of strikes. He'd be 2-1, 3-1 on a guy and he'd ground out weakly. That said, twice I watched him fight back from 3-0 to record outs. He's a pretty impressive guy.

What makes you think that? His mechanics aren't very violent. He's little, sure, but you don't have to be a big guy to be strong.
I've never trusted his delivery and he is putting an awful lot of innings on his young arm. He's on pace to throw upwards to 240 innings this year. We'll see. Injuries are tough to predict.

A 10 run 8th inning for the Marlins has put them in the lead 14-8 over Arizona. Unreal. You don't witness something like that often. The longest inning ever for the home fans.... the ones that still remained.
