The Rangers may or may not be just what the doctor ordered (just look what happened to the Sox against K.C. the last couple of days)

At any rate, here is a VERY good article putting the season and the Tigers chances in the proper perspective.

yeah all the radio hype can do is give updates about the lead shrinking or growing. With 40 games to go, that's a ton of ball to go. 17, 100 win teams since the wild card, only one series win. Only 5 made it to the WS.

Did you see the rangers-angels brawl yesterday? The pitchers had a beaning war going on against the batters. Five batters got hit in the game, until one decided to charge. There weren't any good punches thrown though.

Remember a beaning is a head shot.
I thought I saw some open hand slaps by at least one swinger.

A total of three pitchers were ejected out of the game, the umps were giving them warnings and they were still hitting batters. I found a link that shows the fight:

And somebody put a comment on there that Kennedy and Feldman BOTH fight like girls, and they really do!

Nice 4 to 2 win. And KR gets his 12th. Finally.

The thing I liked about that game is Zumaya coming in with the bags filled and getting out of it. The kid did great under pressure. More of that pressure to come during the playoffs.

Zoom is ridiculous. he's been effective all year. Of course Moss at the DSR won't post again until Zoom gets a start. WooohhwooWee.

Tigers lose 2-1, their offense was terrible. They had a chance to win it in the bottom of the 9th, Monroe hit a lead-off triple and then DY, Mags, and Guillen all hit ground balls to the infielders to not score the run. Hopefully the Twins pull through with a win over the sox (2-2 right now)

Tigers don't bite on trade:

The Red Sox, seeking to take advantage of Detroit's need for a second baseman after Placido Polanco separated his left shoulder here Tuesday night, offered Mark Loretta to the Tigers for pitching help, according to industry sources, but could not strike a deal.

The Sox asked the Tigers for two players on their big league roster; with lefthander Mike Maroth due to return soon from a rehab stint, the Tigers have a surplus of arms. Among the pitchers the Sox may have asked for were starters Zach Miner and Wilfredo Ledezma and lefthanded reliever Jamie Walker.

The Sox GM must of been on drugs!
