I don't think they exactly "whacked" Roger, did they? He went 6 1/3 innings and only gave up 1 earned run. If Houston scored any runs for him, he'd be 2-0 now instead of 0-2. He probably would've won 25 games last year, too. (The Astros have been shut out 10 times in Roger's starts since '04, according to PTI.) His ERA was around 1.85 or so, the best of his career. Exactly the opposite of his 2001 Cy Young year with the Yanks. His ERA was 3.51; but he got 7 runs/game in run support, so he was the league leader in wins, with 20.

You're driving 800 miles to Detroit?

Deliberately?



Just kidding. New stadium....great young team...wise old coach....what's not to like?

Gotta say though, I kinda miss old Tiger stadium. Saw quite a few games there myself- going waaaaaay back. There was just something about it......

Well we know that he wasn't at the Red Sox/Mets game in Boston yesterday.

And just how do we know that?

[Someone please insert a picture here of the sign hanging on the outfield wall that has the word "interleague" misspelled.]


Chuck would have gone and fixed it or taken it down. No way he is sitting through nine innings staring at that!

I thought about Chuck as soon as I saw that sign. Classic.
