Makes it his 70th career double digit SO game, ties him with Seaver at 10th on the all time list, and he drove in the go ahead run. Something tells me the tie won't last long. The more I watch Max play the more I'm amazed Detriot traded him.

And a lot of Tigers are too, but theres a two word answer: Scott Boris.
At the time of the trade, the salary was tight and the prospects were few. . . & JV was one of the best pitchers of all time (still is but that’s another story) . . .
Throw in that the Tigers got Max from Arizona on a trade, and sent him down to Toledo (AAA) after that, and JV was a #1 (or high pick) there was no question if they couldn’t keep both, Max would be th one to go, and that cocksucker Boris knew that, and at the time, got more than Max was worth.
Now, that salary is pretty good . . . guess it makes up for the Stausberg mess, where he got a record contract for a pitcher that most scouts knew would have arm trouble based on his windup and motion before the draft

Os trade Manny to LA for 5 prospects!
It it sucks to see him go, but damn we got A LOT for him!
Sucks for The Nats though, cause the NL got a lot more interesting.

I was never a Trammell fan but he was an excellent all-round player. I dont recall any weakweaknesses in his game. He deserves to be in the HOF.
