A few things on trades upcoming or not upcoming:
1. I can't believe there is not more action with relief pitching. It is amazing to me that there are teams like the Tigers, the Yankees, and every other team that honestly thinks they can sit back and be ok with what they have. There are so many holes in middle relief out there that it could turn the playoffs into a crap shot and have a team like St. Louis win again.
2. To add to Blake's post, Bondo wasn't looking exactly stellar the other night, allowing 12 ER in less than 3 innings of work. That is rough. The really rough part for Det is that they are behind Clevland in the season series (4-6). You guys are going to want to clean that up. They have 8 games left against the Indians and 8 games against the Yanks. All they need to do is to dominate the season series against one of those teams and that will solidfy their spot in their division or the Wild Card.
3. Celtics and TWolves are rehashing Garnett trades. Could be fun.

The Tigers lost their first five games to Cleveland this year and have won four of the last five against them. They are in the process of "cleaning that up".
Since I posted....
Mark Texiera is now a Brave. Good for them. Who cares about the NL? Not I.
Detroit is still 4-6 against Cleveland. Sorry Blake. As a Yankee fan, I'd like to forget the first half of the month too, but it doesn't work that way in sports.
KG is almost a Celtic. Boston is essentiall giving away everything they have. However, the combo of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and KG is almost too good to be true. Since I don't relaly know waht the salary cap rammifications are I can't comment. Those three guys are going to chew up a pretty good chunk but what everyone will hear a million times if this deal gets done: "The Cavs got to the finals with LeBron and NO ONE else." Can someone count how many times they say that on Sportscenter? That will be a funny number.
This is also great news because if the trade goes down, Bill Simmons is going to have to post whether he likes it or not.
