ugh, just what i didn't need - another venue for kal. don kelly in the lineup = win. THAT'S AN ABSOLUTE FACT.
daniels sucks, there's no doubt about it. but he doesn't have a bizarre affectation with his voice that causes him to - what should it be called? squeal? whatever it's called, kal really needs to stop it. i can tolerate daniels. i cannot tolerate kal.
Alex hasnt been cleared to play just yet, but when he comes back, he's going to have new head gear. Sounds like a wise thing to do.
I was gonna say yesterday before the game that Dirks is in for a big day, your right Will he seems to play much better in that leadoff spot. nice game, still want AJ back in there though but hard to argue with the results
Oh yes... Dirks had a nice break-out day with the bat. Jackson just hasnt had a day off in a while. He will be right back in there in today's lineup.
Speaking of lineups, Leyland made the Tigers lineup early today. Notice Martinez is playing first base. Duffy (0-0) will face-off against Verlander (12-8), in the first game...

Where's the run support for JV? This Duffy kid can pitch. Glad he's gone, I think. Guess who has the best bullpen in the AL?
