Game 108 Post-Game Thread
Just in case you want or need to talk about tonight's game or what else is going on in the AL Central.
Tigers win, 10-8, over the Twins. Fernando Rodney is sweating up a storm in the clubhouse during post-game interviews.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Bless You Boys writing staff. However, it does reflect the views of this particular fan, which is as important as anything else written here at BYB.

Is it safe to talk about Rios now?
From mlbtraderumors:
“10:02pm: Olney is now reporting that the White Sox “are most likely the team awarded claim on Rios,” however the Jays have yet to confirm it."
Guess that ties their money up for a while.
by NCDee on Aug 7, 2009 11:05 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yes, it is now safe to talk about Rios
And thank you for acknowledging (or bothering to read) that others posted something about his waiver claim.
