2011 AL Central Thread

Yikes! Sixteen runs and twenty-two hits after 6-innings! I almost feel sorry for the Chicago pitcher (rookie) who threw almost 50-pitches because the Sox have a DH tomorrow. Good spot to have Alburquerque pitch. Is he off the DL yet?

I believe the Toledo Mud Hens season is done this weekend, so , Al should be up this week.

Didn't they expand the rosters this week ? Sept. 1st ?
 
Incase you hadn't heard yet, Brennan Boesch is out for the season, he's scheduled to have surgery on his hand this week in Cleveland.

6 week recovery, so he won't be back this year.
 
meanwhile....the Twins are just trying to finish the season

I watched a little bit of yesterdays game (1st time in about 3 weeks) and I'm glad I didnt miss anything
Side note....had the game on the radio and Dan Gladden needs to be the analyst not the play by play guy. The radio guys have a mix and match of like 5 different crews and Gladden is either the analyst or sometimes the pxp guy. During the lineups he said "California Angels" and then proceeded to make the word "road" a 2 syllable word (as in the Twins are finishing up this ro-ad trip).
 
Fister gets out of a jam and what a swing to end the inning

Definitely a different game that last night, but it's nice to see the Tigers capitalize on their opportunities. Also, I really like Fister...sure hope we can sign him to a contract. :)

Fister is earning 406K and yet we're paying Mellon Head Penny 3M to throw batting practice. Hopefully we can part ways with Penny after this season and sign Fister to a contract.

I think Penny was signed to a 1 year contract ...
Not sure what the status of Fister is, but he's earned a raise since he got here.
 
Great game by the tigers today and excellent pitching!!

Congrats Tiger fans. That was just about the nail in the coffin yesterday. The division is yours baring an epic meltdown.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time we've been in the driver's seat only to lose the division in the last week of play. However, the Twins aren't in the picture and the Tigers have all the gears in motion...except for Pitchless Penny, of course.
 
Tonights lineup

1. Jackson CF
2. Dirks RF
3. Young LF
4. Cabrera 1st
5. Martinez DH
6. Avila C
7. Peralta SS
8. Kelly 3rd
9. Santiago 2nd

Porcello is pitching. As much as I hate to call it early after what has happened to us in the last few years I think a win today with Verlander pitching tomorrow and it is completely over. We will be hard to beat even if we lose tonight and tomorrow. There is a lot to be excited about in Detroit this fall.
 

For those that are having baseball withdrawls...
