I think Crush might spoil Cabrera's bid for a historic 2 straight Triple Crowns.Let's see how he does down the stretch though.
 
Cool, I'm from Baltimore! What an exciting team these last 2 years. I just really, really hope that Chris Davis isn't using chemicals. When someone's hitting homers at a pace like he is, it's only natural to be suspicious... I'm sure he must have been tested, though.
 
At any rate, how about that sweep of the Yanks? Let's Go O's! :-)

He worked with a hitting coach and started a strict workout regimen practically since the day last season ended.It's just hard work,dedication and the O's letting him play every day that's paying off.

Couple of great wins by the Royals as of late. Almost to that .500 mark once again.

And first place in the AL Central is by no means an impossibility. They aren't that many games behind Detroit.

A great win for the Tigers last night.  Going into the game Detroit was 2 and 9 in extra innings and Cleveland was 5 and 0, so it seemed to be a pretty forgone conclusion which team was going to win once it made it to extra innings.  Former Indian Victor Martinez came through with a 2-run double in the top of the 10th and Benoit held on for the save.  Don't forget to vote for Benoit for the final All Star. Big smile

Any tips for who's looking likely World Series champs this season.  About halfway through the season now.

We get to see very little in the UK until playoff time approaches.

I'll be rooting for the Braves of course but Oakland look a good bet and I don't think we can rule out Scott's Tigers.

Cardinals/Detroit in the WS. I'll take Cardinals to win it.

I am listening to the White Sox thump Justin Verlander and the Tigers this afternoon.  Sox lead 7 to 3 in the 7th inning.  The Tigers totally suck on weekday afternoon games.  I think that they have lost every one this year after the first home series.

That's it!!! Jays are done...just done! Very Dissapointed. I know their is still half the season left, but I just don't see life or any kind of real consistency. The last series against the Dodgers was a nightmare. I went to the 14-5 slaughter and when I got home I listened to a bunch of Prog to cheer my ass up.

I guess next year then. :(

I hope you obliterate us so our idiotic front office doesn't try to sell off the few prospects we have remaining to add more aging and overpriced veterans to a sub-.500 level team with no realistic hopes of making the playoffs let alone winning the World Series.

They should take these most recent 6 games against the Tigers and the Cardinals, the two teams which will be in the WS in my estimation, to see how truly bad the Phillies' team is at the moment so that maybe, possibly, hopefully they become sellers at the deadline despite the fact that we have a GM who lives in the neolithic era of baseball and has no ability to effectively sell off assets.

Does that count as trash talk?

    You are trashing the  wrong team, but I suppose that does count as trash talk.   Scherzer versus Lee tomorrow night should be a premium matchup.

Yes. I can agree to that.

Any word on if Miggy will play?

I don't think he is going to play tonight.  Maybe later on this weekend.  I haven't heard anything concrete yet though.

10 - 0 Tigers over Phillies last night.  I guess that that was what you were hoping for this weekend.  Fun game to be at last night.  There haven't been too many games this year for the Tigers where the drama was over early.

Huge Cincinnati Reds fan here. I know we could sure use a win tonight. Can't have the Cardinals and Pirates pull away from us. Cry

Pretty much. It still made me sick to watch though.

Wow! I really feel badly for Phillies fans. Eight runs in one inning between multiple errors, walking 2 batters in with the bases loaded and then giving up a grand slam to the Tigers. This is one of the worst innings I've seen a team play this year.

Is it Manuel's fault or the front office?

I mean for the inning itself the blame belongs to the players and their atrocious play and to Manuel for not using his best reliever in a bases loaded, no out, tie game situation simply because he's the "closer". Instead, he screws his team because it was only the sixth inning which according to "playing the game the right way" calls for a junk arm middle relief innings eater.

The blame for the season belongs to front office for developing prospects poorly, being terrible in free agency, ill advised prospect dealings, and just an atrocious ability to develop prospects.

Oh, I know it's the player's fault for that inning, particularly the inexplicable errors, but wouldn't you as a manger remove the pitcher after he walks the second player with the bases loaded? I was amazed. I thought I was watching Jim Leyland for a minute. LOL

Hadn't followed much of the Phillies travails this year, sorry to hear the front office is so screwed up.

On another note, I was also irked that the ump Fairchild ejected Cabrera on a two-strike count with the bases loaded in the second inning. I don't think I've ever seen that before. It looked like Cabrera was as surprised as everyone else. I would've been pissed if I was at the park today. I mean, really, eject a triple crown winner and MVP in a situation like that?

Situation and credentials shouldn't affect the decision to have him ejected. It's either right or wrong based entirely on what he did at the plate.
