ON the bright side the trend now is to not hit. The Giants are world champs and they can't hit crap...never could...never will. They're starting to pull away again. The Tiggers have the best pitcher in the AL in Verlander, but I was looking at them the other day, and they have no other starters with an ERA under 4. The Indians have 3 of them. They don't pitch nearly as well as the Indians for the most part, though they do pretty much have that automatic win every 5th day which is nice. They have a couple good relievers....Albuquerque and Valverde but not nearly as many good ones as the Tribe (despite the melt down last night!). I hate to say it, but the key to the rest of the year is Exhausto. If he were just pitching like last year, we'd still be 5-6 games up. If he can somehow figure it out we contend all year, if he continues his 20 loss pace, good night Irene.
