Tigers up on the Royals. 2-0 in the bottom of the 3rd. Scherzer appears to be in control.

Twins leading White Sox 3-0. Bottom 3. Pavano looking decent. Humber not sharp tonight.

Wow, I dont really ever comment on balls/strikes. But that pitch to Asdrubal was a good 8 inches off the plate.

Tribe have a runner in scoring position with less than 2 outs. Sizemore and papa O coming up. We won't score.

Grady has 25 hits since May 27th? On fire.

Glad he struck out looking. If he makes contact its a double play ball to 2nd. Atleast we have a chance that he plunks the next 2 guys to bring in a run.

If Grady would ever realize he doesnt have to pull everything, he would in turn realize that pitches on the outer half are strikes.

5 and 6 are just dead zones. Laporta should be hitting 5th, which is just sad. Chiz at 6, when he comes back. Grady can go hit 9th for all I care.

Konerko is batting .322 with 22 bombs and 62 RBI. How is he not an All-Star? Cuz half of those totals have come off of Carmona?

It is amazing that a guy could pitch so bad, yet still have a shutout. Our offense is sooooo bad.

I did hear Hawk say that earlier. It should not have come to that.

We have left another small village on the bases tonight and Scherzer is going to shutout the Royals. Will be .5 after tonight.

In fairness, he isnt having as good a year as Gonzo or Miggy. Even Tex has an argument to make it ahead of him (but .250 is just plain bad).

Agreed with Gonzo and Miggy.

Royals on the board in the 5th. Double, sac fly, rbi groundout. 2-1 Tigers. Top of 6.

Twins now up 6-0 in Chicago.

Great pick and throw by Hannahan. Maybe that will spark out offense. Let's freaking go.

That wasn't even close to a strike. Jesus Christ. Horrible.

He can't get both of those, especially after he throws 4 straight balls to the guy before.
