The trading deadline passed without any new trades and we are now officially stuck with what we got.

We are back home in Detroit to begin our first real home-stand of the season. We will be here for almost 3 weeks before we have to take to the rails again. We start off with a 3 game series against manager Hi Lynch (36-7.5) and his Gothams. So far, we are 3-3 against them and we beat them 2 of 3 the last time we met, which was right here 2 weeks ago. They are 6th in runs scored with 6.5 per game (Detroit is still last, getting better at 5.9. We have scored at least 6 runs in 10 straight games). They are 7th in runs allowed with 7.9 per game (Detroit is still #1 with 4.8)

3B Sam Boullion (27-4.8) is ready to resume his baseball career today, so IF Dave Krampe (28-5.5) is on his way to Syracuse.
