Rain delays are always good for fun times in baseball. Over the weekend, it was Jonathan Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen doing a Milli Villi music video that brought entertainment to Fenway Park. Before that, it was the Texas Rangers using the tarp at Shea Stadium as a slip and slide. But of [...]

June 27, 2008
I didn't get a chance to touch on this last night because I had left for the game when the news hit. The Tigers traded Denny Bautista for Pittsburgh minor leaguer Kyle Pearson. With Bautista DFA'd the Tigers had 10 days to find a home for him. In exchange they get AA [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Tigers trade Bautista", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog...

PREGAME: It's Kyle Lohse and Armando Galarraga tonight. You know which Tigers like hitting against Lohse? All of them.
Meanwhile, here's hoping that Galarraga can nail down that All Star game invitation.
And here's really hoping the rain drops hold off so they can get this one in, cuz I'll be there.

June 27, 2008
PREGAME: The teams have a 12 hour turnaround for today's game. It will be Nate Robertson and Todd Wellemeyer, both of who I would guess didn't stick around for the end of last night's tilt.
Wellemeyer has a 3.67 ERA for the season and he's striking out a little more than 2 batters for [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 78: Cardinals at Tigers", url...

Hey, have you heard lately that the Phils are friggin' horrible? If not, you must be living under an Rosie O'Donnel sized rock, because they've completely sucked for over 2 weeks now.
Today they pull up into the Dallas Fort-Worth area to take on the Texas Rangers. It's a shame Chuck Norris won't be at the game, because he might actually be able to generate...

PREGAME: Ooohhh, subplots abound. There's that whole Jim Leyland quitting on the Rockies thing, but he's already made his one statement about that. Plus there is that Jason Grilli commenting on team chemistry thing, and the fact that he pitches awful at Comerica Park.
Of more concern though are the Tigers simultaneous marches [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game...

[From the JSF Vault...]
It's often said throughout baseball circles that it takes a certain type of personality to be a closer. "Normal" players might not be able to handle the pressure associated with being entrusted to lock down the most difficult three outs of the game, so those players with the rare combo of great stuff, a short term memory and a "unique...
