Odd stat, were 0-8 in day games.... vs. 5-2 in night games

The offense has arrived and if our starters pitch there normal selves we are right back into the thick of things.

So much for the Offense?

They are not going to score 12 runs in every game. Pitching has to pitch in (pun intended).

Another good game by Galarraga. 3 hits in 5+ innings. 2-0 for the call-up.

Jacques Jones plunges further into the abyss with a .178 slugging %.

All of our hitters, besides JJ, Polanco, and Sheff are coming around. Looks like Shef might be a bust this year. We need Polanco and Granderson to return to previous form and we should be on our way offensively.

Maybe Tigs should look at Frank Thomas or maybe even that former Giants slugger to fill in the DH spot?

From The Disabled List Informer › Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Analysis from a Physical Therapist (this site is run by a physical therapist who offers fairly informed opinions on players' injuries based on what he is able to observe):

Gary Sheffield, DH, DET : This guy should definitely be sent to the DL. He has too much going on, and by playing through his injuries, his body is not being allowed to heal. His shoulder is still acting up and he has mentioned in the past that he does not have full range of motion (not a good sign for anyone, especially someone who is playing professional sports). This is the same shoulder that he had offseason surgery on to repair a torn glenoid labrum (cartilage).

Sucks, but it is what it is.

For the past three weeks or so, the rigors of baseball couldn't aggravate Brandon Inge's side injury enough for him to be placed on the disabled list. What those rigors couldn't accomplish, a pillow did. "It was the stupidest, most freakish thing," Inge said Wednesday, explaining why he had just been placed on the 15-day DL with the pulled side muscle (oblique) he suffered 3 1/2 weeks ago. "I have a 3-year-old son who sleeps in the bed with my wife and me," Inge said. "I was trying to push the pillow down behind his head (two nights ago), and when I did ... I repopped (the strained muscle). "You take swings in baseball, and it's not as bad as pushing a pillow down." Upon hearing this story, manager Jim Leyland said, "That's a first."

This goes down with the legendary gardening injury and dancing injury.

But the 3 year old still sleeping with mom and dad ?

Better excuse then "putting the pillow under her hips ..."
