And a kid who works in the computer field. I bet he can get you one!

The sorry Kansas City Royals are leaving town, and now the Tribe will face a stronger foe in the second-place Detroit Tigers this weekend.

Cash Kruth of MLB.com writes how during the spring training it was all about the Tigers, Twins and White Sox who were expected to battle for the Central Division title.

But . . .

On Friday, the Tigers -- 4 1/2 games back of Cleveland -- will get their first look at the first-place Indians when Detroit travels to Progressive Field to begin a three-game series.

Max Scherzer will make his fifth career start against Cleveland tonight. In his last outing, on April 24, Scherzer dominated the White Sox, allowing only four hits -- zero until the fifth inning -- while throwing eight shutout frames.

Manager Jim Leyland hopes his right-hander will fare better against the Tribe on Friday night than he has throughout his career. Scherzer is just 1-3 with a 5.73 ERA and a .286 opponents' batting average against Cleveland -- his second-highest ERA against any club which he has made at least two starts.

It's weird. I'm in Fla and its the 4 o clock hour. In CA the game would already be well underway.

4 PM - Just in time for those early bird specials at the buffets...

LOL.....in a minute we are going down to the hotel's comp Happy Hour. We stay here in part because of it. 90 minutes of open bar for all hotel guests. Nice social scene.

btw, I'm posting from a different location myself. I'm in London, b/c I was at a wedding earlier today...

No way......really??

Hilton? What city are you in now, CALI?

Gainesville FL. My youngest duaghter's college graduation tomorrow. 3.9 final GPA.

You were not REALLY in London??

JR, I was up at 5:00 to watch that wedding. Now I'm hoping to stay awake for this game. I saw you in that crowd outside of the Palace after the wedding.

We need two runs to catch up. Detroit out to an early lead

Gomez just doesn't seem to have it so far this season. Only one inning today going 1-2-3.

DONNA: It was quite the spectacle! Glad you spotted me.

This game could be 10-0 now but for some key 2-out strikeouts.
