Did you see what Placido Polanco did last night? Two outs. Bottom of the eighth. Tie game. Big game-winning hit.
Dumbest move of all was letting Polanco go. He is a much better player than Johnny Damon at this point- both offensively and defensively - and plays more premium positions.
And the Phillies are paying Polanco less money than the Tigers are paying Damon in 2010.

Random Thoughts

- If Will Rhymes is so fast, how come he doesn't have a stolen base?

- Justin Verlander has a 15-8 record. He will probably get four more starts this season, and could end up with 17 or 18 victories. What's the complaint?

- It's nice Damon is talking about how "close" the Tigers are to becoming a good team. But they'd be a lot better if he weren't having such a subpar season. His performance has fallen way off from last season. And the man has made boot-licking an art form.
