Kenm: I should have been on weeds since the All-Star break; it would have helped weather this collapse.

Does anybody in that clubhouse care that the Tigers have completely humiliated them over the last two months? You'd think the basic human desire not to look like a fool would kick in at some point.

Tigers sure look like a team headed to the World Series! Some great pickups at the trade deadline. Young, Betemit, and Fister. Fister is head and shoulders better than Jiminez right now. May be we could have got him for only one of the 2 pitchers. Lets hope that Ubaldo is a lot better by next spring.

Holy cow!

I checked the scores before I tried to bring the game up on the internet. Glad I had not undertaken the endeavor earlier.



Al least I can pull a bit for Tampa Steve's adopted team now.....



(Hey Tampa Steve, there's a guy who attends the Bay Area Browns bar I've frequented lately. He went to IHM for a few grades before migrating to Richardson and Bolich. He had one year at Falls before his family moved to California. Not sure of his age, but I guess he's a few years older than me, so likely 10 years older than you. His significant other (wife, I dunno) is from the Philippines and states that Rocco's is the best pizza she has ever tasted)

Ozzie Guillen traded to The Marlins tonight. No joke.

Pretty nice to go from managing the biggest underachievers in baseball these last 2 years right into another job. The previous holder of that title, Eric Wedge, at least had to sit out one season.

I've lived in Chicago, Miami and The Cleveland Area, and have worked a bunch in Seattle.

Guillen made a far finer move than Wedge did, for what it's worth.

I never liked going to Seattle. The place was so regularly damp and gray that even the Marriott I stayed in had mold issues. Of course there's nice natural scenery in Seattle....when you can actually see it.

Regardless of what happens or if we get .500 in the next two games, it's been a darned fun season.

Kudos to The Tribe Brass for shooting the bullets they thought the timing might be right to shoot.

The Brass played this one with nothing to regret left in the locker room, other than maybe a few games of trade timing.

Some players might have wussed out with the post season beyond reach.

Kluber and Judy make the case to clear their roster spots for some better prospects. 4 homers off Judy in 14 innings. We can hope for better from Chen Lee, Rob Bryson and Bryce Stowell.

Good grief, it was 6-0 after 7.5 innings and I knew it was over and switched it off. A freaking 8-spot?

We were listening to the game, and after every Tiger success or Indian failure my wife said "Just don't get hurt." Maybe that is the official attitude for the balance of the season. Not the dumbest attitude I guess, as the rest of the games are on the road.

TFIR & JR - sorry I missed you guys, but I was having a blast sitting between 2 families. Myabe if it had been earlier. Did take part in the free food. Probably ate more than all 6 previous games that I made to.

Glad you had a good time, Larry. We had such great seats, and time went by quickly visiting with TFIR and daughter. I'm sure I'll see you at some games next season.

Hey am I the only one tuned in to tonight's all-important Indians-Tigers rain delay?

VT'er: Sox-Orioles on NESN and MLB channel.

Well as I am sure you know by now, the rain relented ... and it's 6-1 Tigers ... and my wife continues her mantra, "Just don't get hurt."

Just tuned in for those last two Tribe runs. We're nipping.

Looking at the box score it seems Morticia started in place of Gomez.
