Tiger Geist

I’ve been waiting for the end of the season (and the dreadful last 10 game stretch pre-tampa bay), but had a quick thought.  As I write this, Willis isn’t embarressing himself too badly, and actually had a 1-2-3 inning.

If Sheffield doesn’t hit his 500th home run tonight, Leyland needs to bat him lead off tomorrow.  I don’t care if they move Granderson down or just sit him outright, but just the CHANCE that Sheffield gets to 500 home runs and then decides to retire is worth it.  Should have batted him lead off tonight as well.

I’m extremely confused with Brandon Inge playing in center field this week.  They had extra roster room for Brent Clevlen, not sure why they didn’t bring him up for the end of the year.  Unless trotting a .215 hitter as your starting center fielder makes a whole lot of sense.  Which it doesn’t.
