yeah, Oakland is great for producing star pitchers

Bailey, Cahill, Braden, etc.

And Brett Anderson is supposed to be the top pitching prospect in Oakland right now. I think Cahill is better personally though. But yeah, Oakland can scout pitching that's for sure. Offense on the other hand... LOL

Oh right I forgot about Anderson. Apparently JP Riccardi used to be a scout for the A's, that's probably why we have so many good young pitchers too lol.

Yeah Tigers!! Beat White Sox 5-1 in game 1 of the double-header. Regaining sole possession of 1st-place. Going into today, Chicago was in a tie with Detroit for 1st. Game 2 in a couple hours.

Verlander went 9 innings, 6 hits, 1 run, 0 er, 4 walks, just 4 K`s, with 127 pitches.

Tigers sweep the double header against the White Sux. We threw out Bonine too, so it was a HUGE win.
Up 2 games now over the White Sux. Rodney remains perfect in save situations.

Sit down Chicago.

It's official. Royals lose 2-0 lol. 9th time this year we've been shut out

10 game losing streak, with an Indians win, Royals are officially the 2nd worst team in baseball behind the Nats. And we were once 18-11 lol

As good as Joba's been pitching lately, I would consider trading him for a lefty replacement once Pettitte retires.

As an Indians fan if we were actually able to get one, I would much rather prefer Hughes. But I really doubt the Yankees give up either player.

I really doubt that Hughes gets traded now. As of late he has arguably been the best set-up man in MLB, on the team with the best record in the AL which is why we most likely won't get Lee.

The Indians won't deal Lee unless they get an offer they want, which means the other team over pays, because they still want to have a chance to compete next year, and they'll need an ace, not to mention the attendance when Cliff Lee pitches is a lot higher then when he doesn't, because he is the only pitcher we want to see.

Even though I'd go to see Aaron Laffey play as well, I really like him, I think he can be a good pitcher.
