    Watching game highlights on MLB, Verlander got a Royal ass kicking tonight pardon the pun. When velocity drops the hitters will bop.

    The Tigers looked to be cream od the crop in the Central until "shit happened". Per MLB it was pointed out that Verlander, Scherzer, and Sanchez were the "big three" still on the roster. Problem is over his last five starts against competitor teams Mr V has not been the "V" of old. Also pointed out was the fact that the man has had a lot of mileage put on that arm. The Tigers may win that division but they won't do it in runaway fashion.

    ...Verlander has had a lot of trouble with location for some reason.

    Darvish has shown that he can't beat Oakland with stick.

    It seems like only yesterday that my Giants were 21 games over 500 & had a 9 1/2 game lead in the NL west but they've lost 7 of there last 8 & the Dodgers are now only 5 out. But like the Tigers I still expect them to win the division.

    Going to Kansas City, Kansas City Here I come,
    Going to Kansas City, Kansas City Here I come,
    See the Yankees kicking ass down at Ewing Kaufmann stadium.

    Used to sing it that way when messing with my guitar. Unfortunately that did not happen on the Yankees most recent appearance.

    Chosen to run away with the AL Pennant by many MLB analysts, the Mighty Tiger roar has turned into a whimper..............

    9 Wins and 20 Losses, in their last 29 games, now that's a Mojave Like Drought...! FTT's....

    I guess they all just assumed. The same thing is currently happening to the Giants. There once large lead of 9 1/2 has dwiddled down to 4

    Tigers stopped the bleeding today, lot of new faces in that lineup. Kansas City, that's another team that I love to see get their a@@es kicked. Those late 70's series between the Yankees and Royals were played on a gas tank. While the current in absentia took steroids Nettles took names and kicked ass.
