Gordo out 3-4 weeks with a broken bone in his hand. Moose out for at least a day or two. Fuck.

I can't imagine Cuthbert is up long if Gordon is out a full month. Going to need to bring up an OF'er (Merrifield is AAAA fodder) to fill in for Gordon. Fuentes' arm wouldn't be a big problem in left, and Bonifacio might be earning a cup of coffee in either RF or left.

I'm thinking Dyson will be in LF, no?

Dyson has a much better arm than Orlando, imo. Dyson would be the RF'er unless they brought up Bonifacio whom's arm is supposedly pretty good.

Miggy in the zone now. Even after that vicious fastball to his knee cap. Last couple games he is in MVP mode.
Tigers look to win 3rd straight series.phillies in town

Wondering if I should go back on the boards to when Cabrera was hitting .206 on April 24, and find all the "over the hill", "overpaid", "overrated", etc. comments. Less than seven months after he won his 4th batting title in 5 years, too.

Tiger fans knew better, as we know he'll always have a few 25-for-60 stretches during the year. And he did. He's hitting .415 over the last 15 games and is up to .327 with 11 HR.

Doubters gonna doubt, and haters gonna hate.

Now if Miggy can time his 3 and 4 hit games for the starts of Pelfrey and Sanchez.....

Zimmermann out with groin problem. Upton out with bad quad (and lack of ability), now Kinsler is out with illness. Playing with 22 guys. What next....? Doug calls in drunk?

That happens frequently

HEART is next.
One man down...next tiger steps up. It's the tiger way. When you put on the Olde English D.....it's heart and aura that guides you.
Miggy is getting jiggly with it. Some doubted him. Foolish rookies

 

[dougplayer]

Verlander sharp through 2.....just saying

You're playing the Twins, you could just bring up the club from Omaha and still win...

 

[Nosferatu]

This Twins club is top three worst Twins teams I have ever seen, I started watching the club in 1975...

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Positively Twins-esque play by Paulo Orlando there. He's been pretty poor defensively...

 

[Iffster]

Twins....I read that Sano is doing some butchering in RF. At this point, why not trade Plouffe and move him to 3rd. What is there to lose? Perhaps if Sano made the move back to a more familiar spot, the hitting would improve? Again...what have the Twins got to lose? Plouffe might bring a decent player in return.

Lorenzo Cain batting average:

I figured he was just waiting for his PED suspension.

Now I'm just hoping Pelfrey gets suspended.

On pace to be the worst team in AL history, right?
