tid bits.....

See you in hell, Frank Thomas. One can only assume the OPS Express is
pulling into town about now. The timing of all this is a little strange,
as he went from benched to unemployed in less than 24 hours. Sense of
urgency indeed. JP is into full blown insufferable prick mode already. 

AJ Burnett goes today against the right hand happy Tigers. Hopefully he
can handcuff them much like McGowan did yesterday. Dustin McGowan was
out to prove that he is indeed a better pitcher than Jesse Litsch. I'll
say he succeeded. BJ Ryan came in for a top step save, striking out two
but giving up two base hits. But who cares? It was BJ Ryan in a save
situation. 

As the weather gets warmer, I won't want to be anywhere NEAR this Tigers
team. I doubt Miguel Cabrera has ever in his life been as cold as he was
that first week in Detroit. Now he's showing that backing a Brinks truck
up to his house wasn't a bad idea at all, hitting safely in 7 straight
games and eating two complete cheesecakes during the 7th inning stretch.
Brandon Inge shouldn't worry, Miggy will be first base-sized in about 3
months. 

The wife and I took in Friday's Walk of Ages baseball event. Purcey's
curveball looked good, Gary Sheffield should be inquiring about package
tours with the Thomas family to Branson, Magglio Ordonez's hair kept the
entire stadium and both dugouts entertained prior to the first pitch.
