Magglio benched

From St. Louis. . .

The Tigers aren't calling it a benching, but that's what it is.

On Thursday, manager Jim Leyland said he's going to get his slumping right-fielder "away from it." When asked for how long, Leyland replied, "indefintely."

Ordonez is hitting an empty .273 - with only two home runs and 22 RBIs. He has only six RBIs since his last multiple-RBI game on May 15.

Magglio Benched

This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end

Of everything that stands, the end

No safety or surprise, the end

Ill never look into your eyes...again

And to switch old Rock n Roll tunes....

What a drag it is getting old......

No more running for the shelter of Mother's Little Helper

Bummer.
