Chopped.
I finally received (via Netflix) There Will Be Blood, and watched it Saturday night. The title pretty much foreshadowed Detroit’s game vs Cleveland Sunday. Man did they suck. So frustrating — enough that I started re-evaluating Toledo for potential starters. Thats never a good thing so I’m taking a few days to calm down.
I mentioned on the live chat last week, its not that Detroit needs a bat, its that at times it feels like they need 3. I’m sure some players won’t slump forever, but we’re getting past the point to expect that players such as Polanco or Granderson are going to significantly improve their average. Considering Brandon Inge’s knees, he’s probably settling in where his average will be for the rest of the year (and now I question his power numbers going forward) — just staying in the lineup may be his best move for the team. I imagine a move will be made before Sept 1, either via trade or from the farm system. I just can’t figure out ‘who’ yet.
Man what a waste of a series. Oh well. Bring on Baltimore and see how Detroit’s newest pitcher fares against the Tiger Killer, Luke Scott (or maybe Baltimore won’t risk a lefty / lefty matchup?).
