Even though fewer kids are playing the game these days, here is yet another reason why baseball is awesome: because it has chubby goofballs that we chubby goofy guys can relate with.

Justin Verlander set a good example for young Drew Smyly, and callously shut down the Oakland A’s offense. That’s the way to deal when your own team can’t score runs.
Today’s surprise prediction: Smyly has his first shaky outing, but the offense will more than make up for it.
A lot of things have gone wrong with the offense. Miguel Cabrera went on a career worst slump...

Ryan Raburn can’t get no respect.
Raburn’s first home run of the year was the deadly blow in the Tiger’s 8-run, comeback 6th inning, which overcame a seemingly insurmountable lead built against Max Scherzer, jinxed by Kevin In Dallas.
And yet, in the account of the three 6th inning home runs, Jackson “belted” his, Cabrera “jackhammered” a massive shot, but Raburn merely�...

AL Central: The Little Good, Some Bad, and Mostly Ugly
It was no secret coming into the 2012 MLB season that the American League Central was one of the worst divisions in baseball. Most of the pundits automatically anointed the defending Detroit Tigers champions before the season even started, so it’s surprising to some (not me) that the Detroit Tigers are 17-17. However, even at 17-17, the Detroit Tigers are only a game back in...
