    Turner will toss seven and one-third innings of perfect ball with 14 Ks, Jim will pull him due to pitch count restrictions, the bullpen will implode and the Tigers will lose the game, with the team finally being chased off the field by angry peasants with pitchforks and crude torches. A man from Ypsilanti will set fire to Ryan Raburn even though he will not have been in the lineup or done anything to warrant it. Lynn Henning will approve of the burning. Book it.

    And Rod Allen will still find a way to tie it into some story from his playing time in Japan.

    I heard on the radio today that at one point during the Orioles series Rod said that Thome is almost too slow to slide.

    That made me laugh.

    That is really funny. I didn't hear that, but I got a good chuckle out of it just now.

    Actually, I believe Rod said that Thome was almost running too slow to slide, at the time... not that he's too slow in general. But Mario then did his classic "You know what? I think you may have something there!" routine which, to me, made it all the funnier.

    Stating the obvious here, but I would absolutely love to see Turner shut the Angels down. Of course find a way to win is the first objective. However the icing on the cake would be to see this kid dominate.

    It'd be nice to have Turner toss a gem. Angel's fans have been riding high with their 'kid fish' in center, it'd be really cool to shut them up for a little bit.

    Angels could be scary good in a few years if they can fix their rotation and bullpen.

    I hate those segments on the show, but I like Shannon. Being 48 years old has necessarily lowered my standards though as 22 year old hotties with perfect bodies now seem unattainable.

    My prediction is we'll see Duane Below by the 6th inning. And...we'll need to score 7 to 9 runs to win this game.

    22 hotties are nice to look at, but talking to one makes me realize how much our school system is failing kids these days. My son is 24 and there's have been several girls his age, who, when I talk to them, makes me realize their lack of education. As well as the music they like! No thanks, being faithfully married for 24+ years is something I'm proud of. I've made many, many mistakes in my life, but being a faithful, caring husband is one thing I'm extremely proud of. And I have very little respect for men (or women) who cheat of their spouse.

    Those trade rumors for a starting pitcher suddenly seem more realistic.
