Mark Buehrle out-duels Gio Gonzalez, capped by a nice 5 out save for Steve Cishek as Heath Bell watches from the pen.

Solid. 6 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 0 R, 5 K. I'll take it, and it makes Delgado/Minor expendable to bring in another starter.

I saw Ben Sheets strike out 18 guys once, filthiest pitching performance I've seen in person... incredible curveball. Never could stay healthy, but he had some great stuff.

I had to double check to make sure, but yep. Randy Johnson's perfect game was the very next game after Sheets for the Braves in the 2004 season.

I remember that too.. couldn't have a worse back to back with the bats than the braves did if you tried

This Billy Hamilton guys is INSANE. Inside-The-Park Homerun rounding the bases in 13.8 seconds. The guy has 109 Steals in 87 games

YANKEES open second half of the season with three wins in four games and are making it near impossible for any AL East team to catch them. CC is back and starts tomorrows game. Lets roll.

**Diable** · 07-16-2012, 09:25 PM

So Ozzie loves Bryce Harper. I am glad that he doesn't have a problem with the young man.

**roux2dope** · 07-16-2012, 09:26 PM

maybe the brewers and marlins should swap axford and bell just for the hell of it.. brutal tonight... gives up 3 runs after having 2 out and nobody on in the ninth tonight

**ChrisWoj** · 07-17-2012, 04:32 AM

Here come the Tigers. I really hope this is the Tigers we've been waiting for all season and not just a mirage. Cabrera's usual summer-heat transcendence is emerging, Fielder's power is coming around, Austin Jackson has scored in 13 straight and 19 of 20 in front of them. Justin Verlander is still a big game star, no matter what his all star game performance showed you. Last year's Brennan Boesch finally showed up. Can't count on Delmon pounding 4 in 4 games again... and Max Scherzer has the consistency of lumpy potatoes... But they're getting on base now in front of the mashers, and those guys are doing their job.

Friday is going to be great - Chris Sale vs Justin Verlander, and both offenses have been cranking on all cylinders.

If you're volunteering to swap them and their contracts, sign me up. Bell is owed like 50 times as much as Axford.

I hope you're wrong about the Tigers getting ready to make their move, but it is probably only a matter of time. I hope my Sox can fight you guys off... the Sale/Verlander matchup Friday should be great television. Hopefully Paul Konerko is healthy enough to turn around some of those 98 mph heaters.

Hard to believe the NL batting champ of a few years ago (Hanley Ramirez) is dead last in the entire NL in road batting average more than halfway through the season. Hitting .182 away from Marlins Park coming into tonight.
