Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

No Sweep 'Til... Royals 7, Tigers 3

So much for a sweep this weekend.  Was it silly to even hope for one?

  • Kenny Rogers can't put two decent starts together anymore. 
  • Despite Jim Leyland not going with a "Sunday lineup" and playing almost all of his regulars, most of them decided to take the day off anyway.  
  • Except Placido Polanco.  Two hits and two RBIs ain't a bad day.
  • How does a team get so little (three runs) out of so many hits (nine)?  This has been happening all season.  The Left on Base numbers continue to be infuriating.
  • When watching Joakim Soria pitch the ninth, I was wondering how much longer he'd be in a Royals uniform.  But unless another team offers something nice, there's no reason to trade him.  KC signed him to a great contract.
  • On the bright side - and yes, I'm really reaching - Nate Robertson made his Tigers debut as a reliever and got two outs in the eighth inning. 

That's all I got.

Every board I’ve read is ignoring one big huge item: Magglio is not playing well at ALL…not sure what is going on…is he trying to not play well so he won’t get traded?
