AL CENTRAL

[Jimbo]

I really hope we're not playing the Twins on Monday. We got all stars throwing this weekend, and the Twins get this year's likely Cy Young winner on Saturday, so I still like out odds.

GO TIGERS!!!

Tigers are keeping JV for Sunday if needed....
The way they have played the last few days, it won't matter.

Jackson has done NOTHING in the second half of the season, yet they keep throwing him out there.
I wonder if he's wore out ....

IF JV has to go on Sunday, he'll likely be only able to pitch one came in the playoffs .... just what the yankees would like to see.

 

[Jimbo]

Is it me or is the picture on FSD jerky?

Looked fine to me ...

 

[Jimbo]

Whats worse is now we are going to have to throw Verlander on Sunday..Which really screws usfor game 1 IF WE MAKE IT..And i do mean IF!!!

Not necessarily .... IF Tigers were to win tomorrow (Saturday) and Twins lose, it would still wrap it up before Sunday

down to one game
Twins play at 3:00...tigers at 6:00

so the Tigers probably will know what they have to do before taking the field...

 

[Jimbo]

KC's right fielder just gave this very good game to the Twins, gift wrapped as the ball sailed over his head to the wall and the Twins scored 2 more runs.

Now 4-0 Twins.

yankees are getting luckier and luckier all the time.

The boys just got to Greinke! (sp)

Three innings of pitching and defense and the pressure will really be on.

Oops! 4-1 now, but Blackburn made a nice recovery and shut the door.

See my previus post about the fly ball going over the right fielder's head .... it would have been the 3rd out, but instead it scored 2 runs UGH.

And just like that… tie game. Mijares has not pitched well the last two games.

 

[SabresRule]

The Twins and Rockies have been unconscious since September started- plain and simple, they've been en fuego.

 

[jrp]

Pretty exciting and well played game (mostly). Only shame is that Blackburn didn't get the win. Great catch by Span.

Advantage is still with the Tigers. Their magic number is still 2, but the Twins' is now 3.

 

[Mr Tony]

down to 1/2 game

Unless you live in the Detroit area.

Looks like the Tiger's are waving the white flag, they are starting a minor league guy tonight under the pressure of a pennant chase

Can you believe this ?

Yeah and for some reason there's nothing on the alternate feed of MLBN.

Yeah but isn't there a scenario that we could play the Twins in a single elimination game? They're probably saving Verlander for that.

Did I miss something, why does Miguel Cabrera look like he's been punched in the face a couple times. Bruises on his nose and left side of his cheek.

I was under the presumption that JV was going tomorrow ?

That's what I heard also (as long as the two teams were tied entering Sunday).

This team just seems like it's done, unless something changes and quickly, it's not looking good.
