AL CENTRAL

[Jimbo]

Tigers beat the RAY's 6-2 and the yankees come back in extras, leading 5-2 ....
It's a final now, Tigers pick up another game in the AL Central (on the Wh. Sox, Twins win so they stay where they were), beating TB surprised me tonight.

Only one-half game since the Twins won and moved into 2nd place.

Only one-half game since the Twins won and moved into 2nd place.

Actually, if the Twins won, the Tigers did not pick up any ground on them, but I was more concerned with the Sox and they lost a whole game to the Tigers tonight.

Sox are 5 GB now.
Yes, Twins now in second place, 4.5 back.

The most important thing to remember right now is, of course, that I'm on vacation -- and will be in Detroit Sunday to see Verlander and the Tigers thump the Rays!!! Whooooo!

(What? Doesn't everybody vacation in Detroit? )

Also, too, part of my vacation is being a groomsman in my buddy's wedding. Where's he getting married, you ask? Why, Comerica Park of course! Right there on the field!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the game...and the wedding too. I was thinking of driving back into town this weekend, but I have too much going on (work, look at real estate, etc.). However, I should be able to get back for sometime during Sepember so I'll have my brother pick-up tickets.

Tigers gave away today's game with poor D.
Don't know where that came from.... hope it's not something thats infectious.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Robertson looked pretty good yesterday.
White Sox are playing themselves right out of the race, aren't they?

 

[DetFan]

Threw too many balls..I don't think he pitched that well..Looked like the Nate of old. Not enough strikes, and too busy picking the edges..he threw what 80 pitches in 4 innings?

 

[Paul Wozniak]

First start all season, what did you expect? Any help we can get is good. You can never have too much pitching.

 

[DetFan]

Well I guess so..I mean the alternative to him was who? Galaraga?

 

[riffjim4069]

It would be nice to see Verlander notch number 15 this afternoon and gain some distance on Chicago and Minnesota.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Galarraga is hurt, so we need Robertson. He kept us in the game. No hitting, defense was asleep at the wheel, yesterday.

 

[riffjim4069]

Tigers down 3-1 and looking shakey in the 5th. We need to stop the bleeding and put some runs on the board.

 

[riffjim4069]

Tigers come back with a three-quarter salami from Palanco in the bottom of the 8th for a 4-3 win. Schweet! In other action the White Sox are getting beat-up and having their lunch-money stolen once again by the Yankees. I think we can write-off the White Sox this season.

I hope your right about writing off the Sox, Twins too .

That said, Tigers need to continue to play good ball and start playing BETTER.

Anyone Tired of Washburn yet? Can we please put to bed this guy is an elite pitcher once and for all. He was having a career year before he got here, but now he is back to normal.

All he does is give up bombs...I hate when we get down early because then our offense shows how impatient it really is..

You sold me...I am officially off the Washburn bandwagon. We can now refer to him as Washedup, Washedout, Burnedout, and whatever other colorful names you can come up with. Well, after our 11-7 schlacking to the Rays this afternoon, the Twins will only be 3 1/2 our should they beat the White Sox this evening. Two-steps forward, two-steps back.

 

[Go Sox!!]

I hope your right about writing off the Sox,

The White Sox are writing the White Sox off.

That really sucks for all the Sox faithful.

That really sucks for all the Sox faithful.

We saw it coming. We just are not that good of a team. We have no clutch hitting, cannot field and our bullpen with the exception of Thornton has been a disaster. We have 1 win this season when trailing in the 8th inning or later. It's seems like Detroit has had at least 3-4 comeback games in the last couple weeks alone. Personally I think the team quit weeks ago.
