No idea how Detroit is still struggling. Their pitching is bad been atrocious.

The A's just got Adam Dunn from the White Sox.

Likely to be the first 500 homerun guy not linked to steroids to not get into the HOF.

He'll have to hit 40 HRs this month because he announced when the trade was made that he's retiring at the end of the season.

That's too bad then. I had hopes for him and Pierre (3000 hits) a few years ago. Seeing guys with normal HOF stats not get in because counting stats are overrated.

Kate Upton and Verlander were leaked with pics of being nude together.

He isn't a HOfer, 500 homers or not

That was the point of the initial post.

I wasn't contending he was. I was only stating that if he does indeed retire at the end of the year, he will be short of 500 HRs barring the great monthly performance by a hitter in the history of baseball.

Don't expect him to actually read the conversation, just come in and disagree with whatever he thinks is being stated.

Yeah I saw that. I have two guys on ignore from this thread and got confused, lol

Adam Dunn hit a two run bomb in his first AB for the A's. I must say that was pretty cool, led to a 5-run first for A's and all the runs after two outs. I wonder how much he'll help their offense, looks like a decent pick-up for them either way as they needed a boost in offense. I'm just not sure how much Dunn has left in the tank.

He had a lot of success with his plan to get rid of Upton and replace him with more gritty players. We should hire him.

Wow, Ron Washington resigning to deal with 'personal issue'.

That's a franchise that has suddenly turned to sh*t.

Washington's drug demons are well-documented. Managing that team could make Dale Murphy turn to crack.

I guess he's been spending too much time with Heyward

Our old friend Erik Cordier made his ML debut for the Giants. Hit 101 on the radar gun.
