My team is a train wreck. They released Bonds (thank the gods) and did absolutely nothing to fix their real problem which was their bull pen. Nothing nadda zip. This will be another sad cellar season for the SF Giants...

I don't understand why people think that not re-signing a hitter who will post a +.400 OBP and be the team's only lineup force is a good thing, no matter the sideshows.

Nice comeback in the 9th to force extras for the Braves. Too bad they blew 3 and 2 run leads to put themselves in that position.

Not the start I was expecting out of the Tigers... Only 3 hits today (all by Renteria) against the Royals.

Yuck.

0-4 (Tigers) hahaha hahahah... ahem sorry.

Oh, and stupid Blue Jays, they always seem to have the Red Sox number. I didn't catch much of the game though I was flipping between it and the Bruins game.

Even though I am a Red Sox fan, I live in Windsor so I do cheer for the Tigers. This is getting ridiculous, with a division as tight as the central they are digging themselves into quite a hole.

I'll laugh now while I can, they'll probably end up winning the series and the Royals will be basement dwellers once again.
