Tiger CF Curtis Granderson's idol, Ken Griffey, Jr., jacked one with bases loaded and Cincinnati took a one run lead in the 7th. Granderson jacked a solo in the 9th to tie up the game with 2 outs.

Kinda cool.

So, Bernie Williams has both the longest and shortest doubles of the night in consecutive at-bats? He bangs one high off the right field fence his first time up, then pops one up in the infield that lands between home and first that no one catches, and he ends up on second. I haven't seen that since Little League...

On the pop fly, if Barry Bonds hadda hit that one, they woulda thrown him out at first.....by 20 feet. Mr. Potatohead don't run out no pop flies, ground balls,etc......

Aw, don't beat around the bush - tell me how you REALLY feel about him...

That same charge was leveled against a couple of the Cubs on Sat.'s game against the White Sox (post-brawl). Runner on first, base hit into left, and both runners barely jog to their bases. No running hard, making the fielder think about having to make a play, perhaps forcing the fielder to make a mistake. I guess high salaries don't necessarily equate to high knowledge of the game.

I'm turning into a grumpy old man!
