oh, YOU aren't ready to talk about it? Have you even seen... Fuck it, I'm not ready to talk about it.

Tyler Skaggs out for the season. (Tommy John)

Any SPs out there on waivers? 

OK, it's clearly a race to the bottom:

Tigers Place Sanchez, Soria on the DL

Yeah it's getting depressing quick. At least UM football /hockey is around the corner.

Schoenfield: Detroit, it's Time to Panic

I actually started panicking after the Halo's nabbed 3 runs off Kershaw and started errantly throwing the ball around the infield a couple times, managing to lose.  I thought to myself, that's just not what good teams do.

They've won one game since, and it took them 19 innings.

Not too much of a surprise that Seattle would have the best beer selection and the Yankees would have the worst.

love how robbie ray is pitching for detroit tonight and getting knocked around, and fister is pacing right along for the steady nats.  time will tell, but that trade looks real nice for the nats right now.

i've watched one inning of LAA and that's enough suffering for today.

I take it that you didn't see the bottom of the 6th?  It means I might actually get some sleep tonight.

I was getting my hair did during the first inning, thankfully.

The Tigers starting pitcher this evening is named Buck Farmer.

I believe you mean, George Runie Farmer....

But I'll drink to that.  Never heard of the guy, seeing as how he's gone from A-ball to two (!) AA starts, how the hell could I have.  I suppose I could have seen him throw a GA Tech game, but it clearly wasn't memorable.

He does apparently go by Buck. Let the record reflect I'm settling in to watch this and going down with this Tigers ship.

[vansmack]

How could one not be excited about Vance Worley v Buck Farmer?

That's a script writers dream...

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

Fuck, Buck Farmer might have gotten us our first win in a week. Buck farmer uber alles.

oh, look. LAA is on tied with OAK.

[shemptiness]

Jim Johnson called up by the Tigers.
