Always! Be Closing!

Here's the speech Jim Leyland should've given his bullpen after Tuesday night's loss. (Or Sunday's, for that matter.) If I knew he did this, I could accept him not following through on the "changes" he promised.

Meanwhile, Dave Dombrowski should call this kid in for an interview. He might be just the sort of new blood the Detroit Tigers need.

I bet Baldwin, Jr. here would fire Chuck Hernandez, at least.

Jack Lemmon as Kyle Farnsworth? Ed Harris as Fernando Rodney? Alan Arkin as Joel Zumaya? Fox Sports Detroit should play this every time there's a save situation from now until October.

(Here's the real thing, if you want to watch it. Not safe for work, in terms of language, but you probably already knew that.)

Just read an interesting paragraph in the Free Press

“The Tigers have lost 19 games in which they led or were tied entering the seventh inning. If nine of those games had ended differently, the Tigers would be in first place in the American League Central. Instead, they entered Wednesday 7 1/2 games behind.”

- Jon Paul Morosi, Detroit Free Press

Yep, that is the sound of me throwing up.

Baldwin Jr

He made $900,000 last year—a lot less than Todd Jones. And I bet this kid could save a lot more games!

It doesn’t even matter anymore. Here’s to 2009.
