1. Dirty Dirks- Sure, he missed two months of the season, but he is hitting .320 in 86 games with 18 doubles and 35 RBIs. How are we not talking about this guy? If those were his numbers have way through the season (about what 86 games would be) he'd be up for an All Star team. Instead, Smokes has him batting 6th or 7th most games and sometimes plays BBoesch over him. Wake up folks, coming off his heroic efforts in winter ball (see here), Dirty Dirks has put together a great season. Consider he played 78 games with the big club last year after being bumped around between Toledo and DTown and only batted .251. Take notice world, I think Dirty Dirks is playoff ready.
2. Drew Smyly- Rario made some comment about how surprised they were with Guy's performance on Friday. No one here at the Tigress (either myself or Magglio, the kitty) was surprised at all! Smyly won the coveted 5th starter spot out of spring training and was dazzling in his first few starts. In fact, I'm going to direct you to a past Tigress post. Just know Guy, I've been in your corner since April and I'm pretty sure Cousin Tigress was with you way back on St. Patty's Day.
One more game to clinch. Let's hope it's tomorrow. Scratch that, it WILL be tomorrow.
