Mandatory All-Stars

[Absolutely Adequate]

Okay. It's not Fantasy baseball, but since every team has to have an all-star, who is going to go from Detroit? Looking at tonights starting lineup Higgenson is the team leader just about everywhere but he's only hitting .205 (team leader) while E. Munson has the team lead in hr's (2) and rbis (8). Pitching isn't better with Maroth leading the team in era (4.55) and Bonderman is ahead in the wins category (1). Could this get any worse for them? This really illustrates why every team doesn't need an allstar, even if it does risk the occasional all Yankees All star game.

I hope Carlos Pena heats up and earns it. I used to play baseball with him.

This reminds me of when I played in an all-star game in high school. This one team flat out couldn't beat a little league team but they had to send 2 guys to represent their school. They were completely embarrassing. One guy let a fly ball bounce off his head. He promptly recovered the ball and threw it to shallow center field to nobody apparently rendered retarded by the blow he had just recieved. The other guy slipped trying to grab a pop up and the ball landed right next to him. It was so bad the guy running the bases just cracked up laughing at the chump.

It's gonna be their closer, once they actually win a few games. He'll save practically all of their wins, because I don't see them blowing anyone out. 20-62 at break for the Tigers, and 20 saves for Anderson.

[Absolutely Adequate]

Sure, maybe it could be Anderson if he stays good and healthy, but if German comes in and they split the 20 save opps then what? The more I think about it the more that I think this could be the worst team since the 99 spiders.

Man, that was a good laugh, even if it is just kids.
