Let me get this straight. They go in to Detroit two games up on them ("detroit 2 games back"), win one of four and yet end up four games behind Detroit? My math says that would put us even...

He meant:

go into the series with Detroit, 2 games back. (its confusing but his intent was to say the indians 2 games back of detroit, not "detroit 2 games back" of the indians)

Not to mention that the Indians were 3 games back at the time he said that, so, if they won 5 of 7, it would require Detroit to go 0-7 in the same timeframe to be 2 games behind the Indians.

as was mentioned above, I do not know if this is good or bad.

Also, regarding JP I thought that Braun just took his medicine and did not try to put up a fight. Johnny P might find it if they try to suspend him but I do not know that for a fact..

Braun did just take his medicine, but this is the same guy who fought and beat a positive test. This leads me to believe that he and his lawyers saw the evidence and decided his best course of action was to bend over and take it despite his Lane Armstrong-esque proclamations of innocence.

And dammit Litl... its "Jhonny" if you'e gonna spell it wrong the right way at least try to get it wrong right.

Braun made, I think, a business choice: take the hit in '13 when hurt/on lousy team/having bad year anyway. Next year his incentives and salary will be intact.

Meanwhile, back in the wigwam, Tribe made a trade:

The Indians have acquired left-hander Marc Rzepczynski from St. Louis for a low-level minor leaguerer.

The Tribe has been looking for a left-hander to help its bullpen. Rzepczynski, 27, has spent most of the season at Class AAA Memphis. He opened the year with the Cardinals, but posted a 6.97 in 11 appearances in the first month of the season.

He's 1-2 with a 3.02 ERA in 32 games at Memphis. Lefties are hitting .185 against him, while righties are batting .314.

How does Konerko...one of the slowest players in the league, get an infield single? What the heck

Pitcher and catcher decided to slow dance, up close, instead of deciding who should make the play on a slow roller off the end of the bat. Music stopped and Konerko had streaked down the line to 1B.
