I thought it was very fitting that "Pudge" threw out the first pitch at Texas yesterday...and threw from home to second.

I actually thought it was a bit overdone.
He should've just started out behind the plate and made the throw.
No reason to march him out to the mound first, and have the PA guy make an announcement.
Just seemed forced to me.

And the Tigers bullpen blows yet another Verlander game.

Rocky Pen's seem to be the norm around the league thus far.
Except for the Yanks, their pen is great.
It's their starters that blow!

While the pen did blow it, this wasn't one of his better starts.
Verlander doesn't have a career win in Yankee stadium.
In his last 3 starts there he has failed to go more than 6 innings.
Curious numbers from a guy who seems to throw 120 pitches every outing.

Delmon Young is being charged with a hate crime for a man he assualted in NY. WTF???

Jasonw560 · 04-27-2012, 10:26 PM

Rangers' 'pen has been outstanding. Love this Robbie Ross kid, and Ogando is great as always. Nathan was a decent pick up for closer. Prefer Feliz in that role, and bringing Feldman back to start. But it is what it is.

Waiting for the truth on this one, sounds a bit fishy to me.

5 losses in a row thanks to the Tigers' bullpen (or should I say their lack of one).

Almost let another one get away.
I hadn't realized how much the tigers pen had fallen off.

Valverde has been awful, Benoit shaky, and the rest of them just plain suck.

Now you know why the Rangers got rid of Benoit.

Was shocked to see LA come away with a sweep over DC.
Granted, it was without Zimmerman and Morse, their two best offensive players.
I thought DC was legit, but wasn't sure about the Dodgers.
They started off hot against the likes of the Pad's and Buc's, and I thought they were just riding Kemp's hot bat.
They are definitely riding Kemp's bat, but they are playing well across the board!

A blown save and no offense could not overcome the great starting pitching (both squads got solid starts all series). The Nats handed another one away last night with a walk-off dinger to the Pirates. They need Storen and Lidge back to get H-rod out of the closer spot. He stresses out and loses the little control has has harnessed. Zimmerman and LaRoche returned last night, but Werth is not gone for at least 12 weeks and Morse is still a ways out. They will not have their full roster available until way after the All-star game. They will be facing a decision with when to shut down Strasburg the last 3rd of the season as well.

I hope Storen is back soon, I have him on my Fantasy DL.

He may start throwing by the end of this week.

And the Tigers bullpen blows yet another stellar starting performance. If the Tigers had even a mediocre bullpen, they would be in first place.

I could have used Fister's win on my fantasy team too.

I will be seeing them Saturday in Oakland! The way the Tigers have been playing, It should make for a good game.. As long as the A's stay how they have been, as well.

Diamond Seats baby! Right behind home plate!

What's everyone think about the Cole Hamels suspension? He admintted to throwing at Harper, which I thought was complete "bush league". Harper has none games under his belt and has played hard and said the right things to the media. Wondering what warranted this beaning???? Are the Phils worried that Harper is stealing some of their thunder? Maybe if they weren't in the cellar of the NL East, they'd get some positive press.
