Comerica. 'Tis a silly place..

The Tigers have a reliever named Fu-Te Ni. I have a feeling he may be replaced shortly by Carlos Ecky-Ecky Patang-ZoomBoing-Zowie..

Might make losing the series a tad less depressing. . .

I don't think anything can do that, really. Smitty bitches that teams asked for top prospects when he looked around for relief help, but then the Rockies go out and get two setup guys (Joe Beimel and Rafael Betancourt) for a Todd Helton mini-bat and an old Larry Walker jock.

Either Smitty is lying or the rest of the league hates the guy.

[reveritas]

You guys got Beimel and Betancourt? GRAH.

before the deadline, even, yep.

Just for you...

That Washburn trade isn't exactly going well for the Tigers right now, btw.
