I'll second that.

Ni needs to change his number.

And Miner should probably keep those runs down. He's not doing to hot lately.

I know Washburn has a lot of getting used to being on a new team, but French could have done better.....

Oh well, hopefully he will work better with Laird in his next game.

The sad thing is that the O's are not a great hitting team, except against the Tigers' best pitchers.

Tigers are gonna regret trading French
