2011 AL Central Thread

[king3pj]

Also, this could be the last year for divisions if this whole realignment talk turns into reality. It would be nice to win the last central division title ever. I would rather just keep the current division style though. It builds the rivalries better than any other professional sport in my opinion.

I'm still used to the old days where Detroit played in the Eastern Division with New York, Boston, Baltimore, etc.

Twins best the White Sox, which always makes for a good day, and get several players off the DL. I feel hope in my soul!

Twins are 11-3 in June

Tigers are 10-5 in June

Nice to take two of three, going to be a fun summer as the AL Central starts its annual division tighten up!

 

[Jimbo]

I think the teams the Tigers are playing in the interleague games is a good thing ...
They play Colorado and LA.
Colorado is on a 6-4 streak, so they are playing well. I think it's a good thing for the Tigers to play a Good team so theres no let down.

LA is not playing all that well, but should still be a good series.

You'll have one like that every now and then ...
I would have felt better had it been Coke's start though, he's trying today ....

Darn Twinkies keep winning...there's never a dull moment in the AL Central.

I'll be at the Tigers-Giants game on Friday night (July 1st) if anyone else is going. I just hope Coke isn't on the mound.

Makes me feel good that you show concern over a last place team.

Wasn't that long ago the Tigers were 8 GB, last place is not that far away when your in single digits.
Twins are 12-3 so far this month.

Then call me Mr. Sunshine, Fun & Giggles because I worry about the Twins every year.

Twins up 1-0 late in game

 

[Jimbo]

Tigers losing again in Colorado (they will be happy to get out of the thin air) and on to the SMOG of LA !

Indians have won today.

Indians will be back in1st place all alone here if the Tigers don't pick up the pace in this game.

 

[Mr Tony]

Twins win another 1-0 game

 

[riffjim4069]

Thin air and Coke are too much to overcome...

 

[Jimbo]

Twins win another 1-0 game

2nd time in 3 games for a 1-0 Twins win ... whats going on with the Twins ?

 

[riffjim4069]

Hopefully Verlander will get the Tigers back on track this afternoon...
