Giving up 11 runs is no way to get through a baseball game, son. Blake said it in the GameThread as well as anything I could write. Brian Runge made one of the worst calls at home plate you'll ever see, calling Placido Polanco out when replays showed his foot all the way across the plate before Ramon Hernandez 's glove even touched his chest. He didn't just blow that call, he absolutely destroyed...

Luke Scott belted a walk off home run in the bottom of the 10th off Freddy Dolsi as the Orioles beat the Tigers 11-10. The Tigers should have scored the go ahead run in the top of the 1oth when Placido Polanco doubled (his fourth hit of the game) and Sheffield (three hits on the night) apparently singled him in but the umpire made the wrong call. The throw by center fielder Adam Jones beat

First off, congratulations to Placido Polanco, who became an American citizen in a ceremony with a bunch of other cats at the ballpark before the game. Yay! Of course, he apparently passed the citizenship test THREE YEARS AGO, but had to wait for a security check. His wife and kids were already [...]

To say I'm shocked at the selection of Guillen would be an overstatement. I'm mildly surprised only because I didn't even think he'd be a candidate. He's had a solid first half. Steady, but nothing spectacular. I thought Placido Polanco was almost a lock.
