I bet everyone would jump at a possibility of trading Miner. I would give Robertson more time to show that he can be effective, especially since the guy has a minor league option. Baseball is not only a sport, it's also a business.

Sorry, I meant Cruceta. I'm getting my vowel pitching prospects confused.

Here is why we have to add him:


I guess he had some Visa problems for a while.


Just a quick observation too. We have 1 win less than the first place White Sox! If we play to our potential for a 20 game stretch, we can put some real seperation on the division.

I knew the rules, just that you're the second person in this thread indicated that Porcello is being called up. Since I haven't seen anything in the news I was wondering if you guys have some kind of inside info.

No, I think that I saw that Porcello reference and unconsciously repeated it.

I come here for my inside information.

I think Sheff should be released, he's just too worn out.

What a night for DEEEETROIT sports! The Pistons & Wings (7-1 end of the 2nd) close out their respective playoff series with dominating wins...and the Tigers sweep a series in Yankee Stadium for the first time since 1966!

I'm exhausted and going to bed with a BIG smile

May day, May Day, May day in Detroit >>>>Sweeps and close outs.. did the Shock play a preseason game today and win?? ....If WC Ford had fired Millen today then all of the Detroit teams could have celebrated

Tigers are picking up steam. I wish the starters could come out strong out of the gate rather then spot an opponent an early lead and have to come back. This offense is capable, but why play from behind everytime?

I think its a sign of a smart baseball team, a starter may get thru the order once on us, but that 2nd and 3rd time our hitters are making the correct adjustments.

Don't look now but were only 1.5 out of the division lead. tied for wins.....

First sweep of the Stinkees since '66 in NY, I think. As Borat would say, "Very niiiiiicccceeee."

Now on to my least favorite team (Minnesota Twins) in my least favortite park (the Metrodump)
