2011 AL Central Thread

JV has been on his game most of the year, every once in awhile he's off, lets hope he's ON tonight !

Fausta Carmona's been inconsistent this year, but most recently, he's been good. He's 4-1 in his last 5 starts. In those last 5 games, he's given up an average of just 1.6 runs per game. Fausto and Verlander face off tonight. With a win tonight, we're just 1 game back!

Twins won a nice game last night, after losing leads the previous two. Nathan became the team's all-time save leader.

Well again asking Verlander to but the breaks on this skid and leave with one win

Verlander's been in this spot many times ... they will be fine, this series in not a make or break the season one, theres still a lot of time left in the season.

You're right a loss today wouldn't end the season for us. I still think its a must win game though. We have our ace on the mound trying to prevent a sweep by the second place team. I really don't want to leave Cleveland with a 1 game lead and Chicago making a run. We need Verlander to do what he has been doing every start and come out with a win.

Well, after tonight, there will be a 2 game swing in the games-back column.

We win, the Tribe will be 1 game out.
We lose, the Tribe will be 3 games out.

1 game back sounds so much better.

Verlander needs to be his usual self this evening.

This year's Indians team is much better against Righties than Lefties.

Hopefully the Tigers can end his hot streak by putting Peralta and Guillen back in the lineup today.

Let Go Indians!! Keep it going!! ROLL TRIBE!! This is a fun series with the tigers.

The Indians vs Tigers game will be on the MLB Network this evening in many parts of the country.

 

[king3pj]

Not if you are a Dish subscriber like myself. As a big baseball fan I hate that we don't get that channel. At least when MLB Network picks up a game the RSNs still carry it unlike ESPN Sunday night games or Saturday Fox games.

 

[riffjim4069]

Verlander throws his 3rd career no-hitter...

...that's what I'm hoping for tonight.

Except in the Detroit and Cleveland markets ...

Yup, just as many of us thought it would be before the series started !

 

[Jimbo]

Boesch out, Raburn in ....

Bad omen already ...

Just came in through the door a few minutes ago and noticed the St. Louis vs Milwaukee games was on the tube. Ugh! Go Tigers!

 

[hwkn]

Whitesox are ahead 6-3 in the 8th

Your not in the Detroit market I 'm guessing ... Check the MLB Network, alt channel.
FS Detroit otherwise.

Games over, Verlander is done for the night, bull pen is in.
