25-30, 3rd place, 6 games behind CWS.
Been a pretty frustrating run as of late, but here are a few noteworthy items.
- Avila to the DL, Bryan Holaday up from AAA (and starting!); Santos down.
- AJax took a few swings in BP today. It’s been three weeks since he last played. And I don’t think that taking a few swings means he’s coming back anytime soon.
- Jose Ortega was also...

DETROIT Jim Leyland is going home this weekend.
