My lineup is set.

And you know who was really good for me down the stretch? Carlos Guillen.

I feel like all six teams have a very real shot to win the title.

Five of them because they are good enough, and the Royals because of #DevilMagic.

I dont know what Ruddo is going to do with himself now that he has freed up all the time he invested into this.

Tomorrow is going to be the first day in a while where I haven't been disappointed in the Reds.

Who has been the most disappointing for you?

I think Johnny Bench was a huge let down for the Reds, and for the Tigers it's been Prince Hal Newhouser.

Ty Cobb's lack of extra bases. I wasnt expecting a lot of HR's, but 13 doubles and triples combined? in about 250 PAs. not great.

YES. I was all about Speaker heading into this thing, I legitimately thought he might be better for us than Ted and Yaz.

Red Faber was pretty disappointing too. He finished 1-2 with an 11.58 ERA. He logged only 21 innings, and I think he started like seven games.

Yeah. Belle also had 44, but he had like 30 more plate appearance than Thomas and put up really strong offensive numbers (.310/.382/.472, 8 HRs, 58 RBI).
