Sunday

So James Loney finally got the call up for the Dodgers and as I type this he is 1 for 1, RBI. Really they had no reason to give Nomar a new contract. Yes he is a good player but Loney is ready for the bigs, he batted .380 in the minors last year.

Russell Martin better be the starting catcher for the All Star Game.

Carlos Gomez is really fast, great 5 tool player, though only 2.5 tools at the moment he will blossom soon.

Leyland continues to not know how to manage a bullpen. Yes Miller was at 101 pitches but he was up against the 8 and 9 hitters that he had dominated the other times he faced them. Detroit needs to perserve the bullpen but still gives Miller a quick leash, with a big lead at the time. They should have left him in and let him work through trouble something he is still learning as a young pitcher, this could have given him experience and helped him in the future.

So I was right the other day about Prince hitting a home run to catch A Rod again, but Alex hit 2 today and I am not sure if he will catch him tomorrow or not, but at the end of the year this will be a close race between two amazing power hitters.

Vlad's been slumping.
Abreu's breaking out.
AL is dominating interleague today.
Mesa is picking up in Philly where he left off in Detroit, 1.2ip, 2er.
Sowers sent down to AAA hopefully he can work out his issues.
Pujols hit 2 HRs today. I think thats 6 in June so far.
David Wright has homered in 4 straight.
Last year's trade deadline had big hopes, but this year could actually be huge.
How good would Lidge, Otsuka, and Gagne look in Tigers uniforms?
