Game of the dayLos Angeles Angels at Detroit Tigers Notable quotable“He’ll see how we do things around here, point blank. We had guyse through here with a rap sheet and (people) say he can’t be handled, this guy can’t do this and, you know what, it worked out fine for us. So I don’t think it will be a big problem.” Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork to the Associated Press, referring to the team’s acquisition of disgruntled defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth.Notes and tipsThe Arizona Cardinals on Thursday traded for quarterback Kevin Kolb, a major upgrade at the position, but BetOnline continues to list San Francisco as the NFC West favorite. The sportsbook pegs the 49ers at +150, followed by St. Louis at +180, the Cardinals at +300 and the Seahawks at +450.Brewers All-Star second baseman Rickie Weeks went on the DL Thursday with a severely sprained left ankle, but he will not need surgery. Craig Counsell, Josh Wilson and call-up Eric Farris likely will share second-base duties in Weeks’ absence. The platoon likely will be a big dropoff from Weeks, who is hitting .272 with 19 homers, 43 RBIs and 71 runs scored. Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford, who missed his second straight game Thursday with a strained left elbow, is expected back in the lineup for Friday’s series opener against the White Sox. Crawford went 1-for-11 in the first two games of Boston’s series with Kansas City, striking out four times on Monday. He got a cortisone shot following Tuesday’s game.
