On the one hand that might be really bad news, but on the other hand I’m glad they’re being safe and getting top-flight medical advice before they act. We’re not going to win shit this year so if the specialist sees something that means Adam takes a few weeks off, then better that than making it worse trying to play him hurt like idiots.

Walked in the winning run
Well, first time he’s done THAT this year, isn;t it?
Pitch was a bit outside, still surprised to see Figgins take, though.

more on that guy
He’s in his 60s or maybe 70s, and he turns to me an inning or so before the Rodney walk-off walk and says, “The Tigers bullpen…SUCKS. They ain’t NO. DAMN. GOOD.”
This guy ruled.
