Geoff Baker says it's not raining right now.

As far as the weather reports, it's supposed to be without precipitation at game time tomorrow, and Sunday is anybody's guess.

Also, the Giants have scored a run in back-to-back games. Crazy season so far.

Tigers Bullpen is Horiffic

Their only saving grace is their offense, and Verlander. They better hope Zumaya gets healthy.

Bonderman seems to be having troubles as well. He is touted as being pretty good, but right now he's definetely "iffy". I don't think many people have any confidence in Dontrelle Willis or Kenny Rogers being significant +win conributors either.

I can't stop laughing

but really, i think of them as the 07 yanks. terrific offense, so-so bullpen, and a bunch of clowns in the rotation. They can go far once the bats lose their rust.

Jones looks very unhappy in that pic.

Though, at least his eyes are open. And the bottom guy (not sure of his name, because fuck the Orioles) looks really jazzed. Like, he's the only person that even cares. All the other guys are like "fuuuuuuuck" and then he's all "yeaaaaaah"
