question:
how does the timing of that streak line up with when Kenny Rogers went on
the DL? IMO, that was a huge event. I think that, early on, the attitude was
that they needed to stay close til Kenny camw back, so him going DL again
was devastating.

If that's how a team's going to react because a 140-year-old player is
put on the DL, then the Tigers should trade places with Kansas City.

And Kawalec, leave those kids alone.

answer:
Kenny went on the DL 15 games ago. Anyone know what his status is?

Due for a rehab start in Toledo this week I believe. Both he and
Miller and Zumaya should be getting some work very soon. Maybe within
two weeks the Tiger bullpen will be back at full strength and then we
can only hope nothing else bad happens to anyone.
