Carlos Guillen went three for four and drove in four runs. More importantly, he had an RBI triple in the eighth to give the Tigers an 8-5 lead. An innocent enough, and at the time a somewhat meaningless run. But that would be the difference as the Rangers stormed back in the ninth on a shaky outing by Urbina. He did garner his third save, and he and Jamie Walker remain as our only effective relievers this season.

Barry Bonds has now reached base in 30 consecutive games, and Roger Clemens is 6-0 and looking like he’s 15 years younger then he really is. I got to see Roger Clemens throw two times last year, including one of his bids for 300 wins, and it was a special treat seeing possibly the greatest pitcher of all time.

You can say the same thing for Barry Bonds. He might have a few years left, but we’re basically seeing history being made.
