AL Central Thread

I guess we're battling it out with Chicago to find out which team sucks the least.

Biggest sign of hope I have for the Sox right now is that they are playing Cleveland, a team they've handled well this year, and the Tigers are playing KC, a team that has handled them (and the Sox) this year.

Both teams have their aces going tomorrow. I expect the standings to stay the same after tomorrow's games.

Does Detroit have an ACE ?

Am I supposed to be happy that the Twins have now won one more game than last year and will avoid a 100 loss season?

Scherzer may have outperformed him in the win column this year but I'll take that guy that won the Cy Young and MVP any day against any team and any other pitcher in the league.

Hmmm, Maybe they should play them more often !

 

[riffjim4069]

Could have been a big inning...except Peralta being throw-out at 2nd and Jackson at 3rd - both trying to extend a hit.

Tigers win and the Sox are down 3-1 in the 6th. Forget Monday night football. I'm watching the white sox on MLB.tv tonight.

Tigers Win 6-2 tonight behind 8 innings from JV.

Indians and Sox tied at 1

I was following ESPN Gamecast. They're usually a minute or two behind real time, but tonight it was much, much longer.

They actually should have another run. The sox got screwed by a terrible call on a play at the plate earlier in the game. I'll take it though.

Dunn just hit a 3 run blast to give Chicago a 2 run lead in the bottom of the 8th.

2 HR's from Adam Dunn, 3 run in 8th, to put Sox up 5-3, top 9

 

[Jimbo]

So much for the Tigers getting to 1st place tonight ...

 

[Sparkman]

Give up a run, but win 5-4. Early game tomorrow due to Yom Kippur starting tomorrow night.
