I don't have any confidence in Tavarez at all tonight (or ever, really), especially against Maroth.
Chuck,
There's nothing flashy about Mike Maroth that I can see.
He's a nice person that moves the ball around. Red Sox hitters could have a field day if Maroth shakes off Pudge like Verlander did last night, ... only a couple times though.

I still really like Coco Crisp.
Nice throw by Manny last night. Will that be it for the year?

The Portland Beavers minor league team has a bobblehead promotion on.

Quote:
Robert Leroy Head of Maquoketa, Iowa, was selected as one of three finalists for a Portland Beavers' promotion that will immortalize a real Bob L. Head with a bobblehead.

"I never put it together until they sent me this letter," Head said. "My wife and I thought it was a joke."

The Beavers, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, sent letters to every Bob L. Head they could find, including Roberts and Robertos, and Mauoketa's own.

Wow.

My favorite is still the Benedict Arnold bobblehead that the CT Defenders gave out last year. It's still the only two-faced bobblehead I've ever seen!

Hey mick - I might actually wear a Tiger's hat this weekend.

(I'm just giddy since the Cubs didn't blow a 9th-inning lead today.)

First MLB start, eh?

He won't be nervous or anything, will he?

(Btw, nice color choices on the lettering above.)
