So, in your mind, the Tigers are up by 1 game at the half way point and if they don't win the division, it's a Choke job ?

Sox 1/2 game out, 2 hitter by Danks. Just heard on Post Game show, in past 28 games. Sox have 25 quality starts.
As Ice said, Twins were 8 out as the break last year. KC is 8 out now. I don't see them passing 3 teams, but anything can happen. It is good to be the 'hot' team, I just hope they don't peak too soon.

Well, we know that the Twins normally Finish the year very strong.
Tigers usually try thier best to "Hang On" ...

Should be fun .... Tonight particular :up
Look out if the Tigers should lose tonight
Being the up and down team they are ...
Looking forward to Verlander pitching at home tonight. It's time to shutout the Twinkies!!!
Go Kansas City!!!
Go Kansas City!!!
Nice post Paul ... :up
I agree with most of it.
I too hope they make a run at Lee.
If you recall, when the Cabrera deal went down, you heard NOTHING from the Tigers till the very last minute.
DD. does his work very quietly.
Lee, Verlander and Scherzer would be very formidable and throw Porcello in there when he gets back.
I look for Bonderman to leave at the end of the year, I really like him, but he's just not got it done consistently.
For that matter the Starters have not got it done consistently.
Don't know if Damon will be back next year or not, with the diminished role of DH and spot OF'er.
I would like to see him back.
Jackson and Boesch have been GREAT.
Here's hoping they can do it year in and year out.
Jackson was in a slump for awhile went from around a .370 avg to just above .300, went on the DL and came back hitting better.
The AS break will do him good.
I was to see if his avg. picks up after the break, he looks like he could be a .320 hitter in the long run.
Tigers STILL cannot hit when they play a good/great pitcher.
Over all, I give them a B+.
Spot on with all you said above. I wouldn't worry too much about Jackson and Boesch. These kids are just naturally talented. Boesch has a model swing, one that I would use as a teaching aid. Look for both to slow down in the second half. The season is long and it grinds you down when you haven't played this many games before. Not to mention the scouting teams have enough tape on them now to start finding holes in their batting styles. Boesch may have already locked up ROY. I hope he is here for his whole career, I just love watching him play.
I don't believe Bondy will be back either, unless he has a sterling second half, same for Damon.
I wish that I was in town for the weekend match-up against the Twins. Hopefully, it will be a Tigeriffic series!!!
Talk about bad starts, Ryan Rayburn has a 2-2 count and fouls one off his foot and on the next pitch is HIT in the FOOT. 
Brennen Boesch
I am believing that Brennen Boesch was ROBBED, he DEFINITELY should be on the ASG roster....
The guy just continues to hit and play VERY good Defense.
2 more hits tonight so far.
Currently hitting .346, with 18 doubles, 12 HR's, 48 RBI's and 81 hits and 21 walks at the halfway point of the year.
By the end of the weekend he'll have enough AB's to qualify for ALL the batting stats, not just rookie stats.
Boesch has 27 multiple hit games so far this year in about 58 starts.
