I'm back from my Florida vacation, which means the Bless You Boys Podcast has higher production qualities...though the low brow content remains the same!
This week the podcast runs 1:24 and features editors Al Beaton, Kurt Mensching, and Allison Hagen. Joining us is very special guest Grey of Fire Gerald Laird. Grey is better known on Twitter as @spacemnkymafia and as NefiPerezHilton in the BYB comments.
Topics covered this week included:
- Al Alburquerque struck in the head by a line drive during batting practice.
- Contract extensions for everyone!
- Dave Dombrowski gets four years, Jim Leyland one year, by request. Were the extensions deserved?
- Tigers lose 2 of 3 against the douchebag Indians, still lead the Central by three games.
- The time to bench Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen is nigh.
-
Casper Wells, anyone?
- Milestone 1 - Jose Valverde sets club record of 33 consecutive saves.
- Milestone 2 – Justin Verlander wins 100th career game.
- Why isn't Wilson Betemit playing more?
- Will Brandon Inge return before September in order to make him playoff eligible?
- With Victor Martinez injured, should a backup catcher be called up?
- Where's the power?
- Can you seriously say a team or player "lacks heart?"
- The return of listener questions!

Final thoughts: Mostly about drinking, panicking and John Smoltz.
