2011 MLB Season thread

The Tigers have spiraled into their annual inter league play slump, compounded with their general team disarray (aka Leyland playing musical chairs with the lineup) slump, and shittiest bullpen in the effing AL slump...

I will admit, I'm punching my fair weather fan card until things settle down in my home life :P
 
This is really the only reason the Rays are tied for first place in the ALEast, Joe Maddon's mad scientist skills. Too bad Rays lose to Tigers.

Also Indians continue to impress, first team to 30 games.

I was surprised we won, especially with Coke leaving (not that he's that good anyway oy). Joe Maddon is great, you have a good team there.
 
It just keeps getting better and better.

Marlon Byrd gets his face destroyed on Saturday in Boston, and now Matt Garza makes our third starter headed to the DL. It's not even June and I'm about ready to throw in the towel on the season.
 
Do any of you guys have a favorite announcer? If you dont have MLB.tv or the MLB Extra Innings it might be harder to hear the others.

Twins announcers are pretty good, cant stand the whitesox or yankees announcer.
Dewayne Staats is my favorite tbh.
 
As far as announcers go... I was obviously a huge fan of Harry Caray. My current announcing dream team would have to be Jon Miller on PbP and Steve Stone on color. I like the current Cubs team of Kasper and Brenley though, but I miss Stoney being in the booth. I also think that Chip Caray is an excellent broadcaster, but that view doesn't seem to be shared by a lot of people. But I think the broadcasting talent skipped (ha ha, incoming pun) a generation in that family, because Skip was absolutely horrible.
