Carlos Guillen

Born on today's date, Carlos Guillen.

"How is the offense going to be consistent when you see one guy get three hits and the next day, you don't play the guy? I can't understand that. How is the offense going to be consistent when every day it's a different lineup?" - on manager Jim Leyland's habit of resting players after a good game

"Is he going to have a job next year?"

Jered Weaver quote as he drops his suspension appeal as to why he did not wait to throw at Carlos Guillen next year.

The dude was no doubt bizarrely out-of-control that day, but that IS a good quote.

Every team has one! Here is ours.

Hey, I heard Carlos Guillen was fishing for mini-goldfish and threw out his shoulder while reeling one in.

Ten more weeks of rehab now!

We have been season-ticket holders for four years now and my kids don't know who he is!

No surprise here

Chris Iott of mlive.com reports that Tiger manager, Jim Leyland says that Carlos Guillen presently on the 15 day disabled list for a hamstring strain may not be ready to return immediately when he is eligible to come back.

This is not news and is frankly a waste of space.

This is like saying that Kim Jong II needs fashion advice.

There is just no such animal as a "15 day dl" for Carlos.

As I have mentioned before, we have had a partial season ticket plan for a while and my kids hardly know who he is.

So Carlos Guillen has been placed on the 15 day dl due to a hamstring pull which occurred while stepping on third base

It just didn't seem right seeing him on the field for a couple weeks straight there. I found it a little hard to get used to. Me and my boys go to quite a few games and my kids barely know who he is.

Everything seems more in sync now.

Did you know...

....that we are now 12 games into the season and the Tigers do not have a home run from a non-Venezeulan player?

Good thing for that country, huh?

Maybe the Orioles should throw a scout down there.

Carlos Guillen comments on Jim Leyland's crazy (ahem...unorthodox) lineups

Carlos Guillen per Jason Beck at mlb.com: "How is the offense going to be consistent when you see one guy get three hits and the next day, you don't play the guy? I can't understand that. How is the offense going to be consistent when every day it's a different lineup?"

This is appendicitis-inducing funny because it is so true. If you hit three home runs or god forbid hit for the cycle, you are surely sitting the next day. Get used to it.

You could offer Jim Leyland a trailer full of smokes and he still wouldn't change.

Can't wait to see Adam Everett batting clean up in random games next year because the manager "felt like it".*

*It's not like he's managing with a bottle of bourbon between his legs. (Well, hold now maybe....)
