Fielder took care of business at last night's All-Star game. I hope he has a big second half of the season.

So, will the White Sox continue to play well or will they pull a Patsy Cline in the 2nd half...you know, "Fall to Pieces"? Offhand, I see them playing .500 ball the rest of the season.
What about the Indians? Will they "get hot" or will they get run over? Offhand, I think they'll continue to play .500 ball - not bad, not good.
Tigers? I think they get hot...real hot...during the 2nd half of the season with the Fielder and the bottom-half of the lineup putting up big numbers. Verlander continues to pitch well and Fister (hopefully) gets back into shape. Of course, the rest of the starters are inconsistent, at best.
Not much hope for Kansas City and Minnesota this season. It should be a good battle to see who avoids finishing in the cellar.
We shall see...

If the Tigers do get hot, they'll have earned it. Their next 29 games are against teams over .500. They just made their run against MN & KC. Sox have a much easier schedule left, but have a road heavy schedule for the rest of the month. But they do have the 2nd best road record in the league. Hopefully the Youkilis pickup will be the thing that keeps the Sox playing well.
I could see Cleveland hanging in for another month or so, but think they will hit their wall and finish 3rd.
That has been talked about on our local air waves as well, that if the tigers are going to to it they are going to earn it with the schedule they have
Detroit at Baltimore is on locally (MASN) I have beers in the fridge and fresh Italian Sausauge ready to go. I just hope Fister can find his Mojo. Go Tigers!

Tigers off to a good start this evening. Nice to see Jackson continuing to show poise and maturity at the plate, Young doing well, and some of the bottom-of-the-lineup showing signs of hitting.
