Yep, the Tigers squandered a good pitching performance by Verlander.

Then theres todays fiasco, throwing the ball all over the place, playing like a little league team.

Liked today's Sox game. Sale pitched great, AJ stole a run scoring from 1st on a groundout. Take the series from the A's and increase lead to 2 games. Sorry they sent Danks down to AAA after the game, hope he's back soon. Need another big game from Jake in Toronto tomorrow.

I never thought too much of them picking him up, but well see, maybe they can bring Smyly back up.

Has not been good and with the sox losing last night had a chance to pick up a game and the wild card standings are getting tight now as well

We need to get "hot" and fire-on-all-cylinders because we've been playing some half-arsed baseball the past couple weeks...okay, since the start of the season. Go Tigers!

Sox win tonight helped along by the Jays pitcher throwing error to 1B, allowing the man on third to come home. ......

Tigers meanwhile are leading the Twins 6-4 middle of 7.

Miguel Cabrera knocked in his 100th RBI tonight in only his 117th game.

Tigers get the win an don't lose a game in the standings

Nice win this afternoon for the Tigers. I didn't realize they were playing a day game today.

 

[Jimbo]

Sox also won.

JV is taking the mound against Baltimore this evening. Big Series...not only to keep up with Chicago, but for Wild Card position. Go Tigers!

 

[riffjim4069]

JV didn't have his good stuff this evening, but Cabrera hit an early HR and Fielders has knocked two blasts; 5-3 Tigers headed into the 9th.

 

[riffjim4069]

Valverde is making it interesting...

 

[riffjim4069]

Tigers win.

 

[Jimbo]

Tigers win.

Tigers trail Sox by 1.5 AGAIN !

Thank you KC s: :

Nice win for the Tigers, man fielder has some moon shots!

The division races are important, but so too are the Wild Card races in which two ballclubs now qualify for the post-season. Detroit is now tied with Baltimore. Here are the last standings:


Tampa Bay 65-54
Detroit 64-55
Baltimore 64-55
Oakland 63-55 (-.5)

 

[riffjim4069]

Detroit goes with Porcello this evening while the Orioles are going with a rookie up from AAA. I like the Tigers odds of winning.

meanwhile the Twins either score a bunch of runs or get pummeled
