I'm not confident.

3.5 back after 81. Last year 5 back. So progress. On pace for 84 wins.

Tigers have 3 with the A's and 2 with the Dodgers in Detroit and then 4 with the Royals at Kauffman before the AS break. They also have 4 in Detroit with Tampa Bay.

They'll win 9 of those.

Fine, as long as the 4 that they lose are against us.

That'd be awesome, but realistically, I have them losing 2/3 to the A's, splitting with the Dodgers and Royals, and sweeping the Rays.

If Butler dropped trou and took a dump on home plate, it would be only slightly more disgusting than what I've seen him do at the plate lately. WTMF?

He's hitting .330 with an .843 OPS in June.

It looks like a few more teams are falling back and might be sellers at the deadline. I'm just not sure if we are buyers on anything major.

We won't be. The pieces we need to stay on course are the only players other teams would want in a trade of any significance.

I'm not sure the FO will admit to making any mistakes with their lineup, esp Moose. Assuming they have the balls to admit Aoki isn't getting it done, 1) they aren't moving anything to replace him, 2) they like Dyson and Maxwell so much they might try a platoon with those guys.

They like Moose so much that they sent his ass down to Omaha, DFA Maxwell and the only reason he is here is because Aoki is out.

Royals just DFA'd Maxwell and Ciriaco, brought up Colon and signed Raul Ibanez.

Royals fans should hope they replace Maxwell with Aoki. Aoki is batting over .350 against LHP. Dyson is batting over .300 against RHP and about .211 against LHP. Maxwell can't hit either. Platooning Dyson and Aoki makes the most sense to me.

Maxwell is gone. Just signed Raul Ibanez, also Christian Colon was just called up.
