Twins are sorry now they don't have go to guy like PELFREY...should have never let that ACE go

It's mid April and your sounding like a fool. Long Season to go. Don't give these guys easy targets, they love to pick on people they don't have to stand up to. Remember it's a long season, don't get too excited.

Voltaire....just a word of advice....don't wear your good shoes around here. :nono:

Doug and I have been going round and round for a long time. He can take it. He does NOT need a candy-ass pansy coming here to protect him. Doug might be a nut...but he has balls. Live like doug, Voltaire, and stop crying about losing your pal Vice.
:tsk:

Tiger's bats are rolling right now. (And Miggy isn't doing much). They need to win while the offense is hot, because sooner, rather than later, the bats will cool down and their pitching staff is not going to win a lot of games for them.
Mystified about KRod's pitches so far this season. The guy must have some great movement on all his pitches. His fastball has been under 90 in every game he has pitched and his changeup is only 5-6 mph slower. His other breaking pitches are also in the mid 80s. (He occasionally throws a mid 70s curveball). Each pitch must have distinctive movement since they are all of similar speed. Seems to lack an out pitch - as shown by Harrison's 13 pitch AB today and throwing close to 30 pitches to get 3 batters out. 1-2-3 inning...so can't complain too much.

Thanks for the advice, and thanks for the good baseball sense.

Wow, I kind of hope everyone keeps up this start. Would be a fun division race if that were the case.

It is kinda fun ... If everybody was losing it would be interesting, but this is much better. I'd rather battle to get into the playoffs, then back my way in with everyone playing poorly (kinda like my Red Wings did this year).

What, you don't think the Tigers can maintain a .295 team BA all year? :pound:

On F-Rod, he only has 2 strikeouts in 4.1 innings, so I refuse to call him "K-Rod". According to the CBS sports feed yesterday, he did hit 90 MPH on one fastball to the last hitter he faced. Still, his lack of velocity is alarming.

So, Dallas Keuchel is riding a 15-0 streak at home (16-0 counting the playoffs), and hasn't lost there since August, 2014. I'd say he's due for a loss tonight...if he wasn't facing Pelfrey.

Already handed Jose Fetnandez his first home loss....

The Astros used to be in the NL, goes along with the theme we've had so far this year.

@broncosmitty

What are the odds that @MiamiVice tries to create an alt today?

Well, when we were on CBS, he made another one almost EVERY royals game. No reason that pattern wouldn't continue. Will give him one thing, he never stops stalking, errrr trying.

Its sorta sad, he might go mad by the all star break.

I just bet. $175 V...on the As. Should handle the royals easy tonight. Royals suck on road out west.
Tigers should win big tonight. Astrology pitcher won't last 5 innings. Not against those hot tiger bats
