David Schoenfield: "The Tigers are relying on Miguel Cabrera to hit like Miguel Cabrera. Not that he's having a bad year, but his .308/.366/.509 line is about the same as Melky Cabrera's (.318/.374/.480). The Tigers aren't paying Miggy to hit like Melky."
I just find the phrasing there funny. I'm hearing it in Jerry Seinfeld's voice: "Paying Miggy...to hit like Melky."

Joe Nathan following his latest blown save the other day: "It's not gonna ruin my day."
When he entered the game last night, he got some boos. He walked the first two batters (more boos), gave up a hard-hit outfield liner, then lucked into a double play.
The boos evidently bother Nathan more than screwing up:

Man...
Reed’s attorneys, Ben Gonek and David Gorcyca, passed out packets to the media that appear to be filed by the woman's ex-husband in a 2008 divorce case, including allegations that attack her character.

On that note, David Price just gave up nine straight hits, will not pitch into the third inning.
And it's looking like Sanchez might not be able to pitch until the playoffs (should the Royals slip).

Miguel Cabrera's health leaves a dark cloud over Tigers' pennant push
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140831/SPORTS0104/308310017
Twelve months later, with the Tigers in the inferno of another playoff chase, Cabrera is again aching. And again he is attempting to cope with pain, all because he wants to play, the Tigers want to win, and nobody is sure that even a few days of rest will make significant difference.

@dschoenfield Aug 12I know, hard to believe ... RT @mdfrese wait, you mean relying on the guy Houston cut might not work out?
This was such a bright tweet a couple weeks ago, when Martinez was slumping. Besides, the Astros are so smart now!
Martinez has 19 HR in 99 games, a .911 OPS, a .679 "late and close" SLG, and is paid the league minimum.
Even if he sucks the rest of the season, he has "worked out."
(Astros left fielders this year: .209/.279/.316.)
