2013 AL Central

Just think ...
Tigers MN is 2, with the struggles that Justin Verlander has had this year, it is very possible that they could CLINCH with him on the mound Monday night !

Sanchez is taking the mound at 1:08 PM this afternoon. I'll be watching the game largely after the Lions-Redskins game.

Really ?

Tigers trail 6-1 in the 7th ...

Lions playing Washington in a close game 17-17 at the moment.

 

[riffjim4069]

I just tuned-in...just in time for a repeat of yesterday's Tigers rally. Go Tigers!!!

 

[riffjim4069]

Time for some bottom of the 9th magic; 6-2 Sox...for now.

 

[riffjim4069]

Two on and nobody out to start the bottom of the ninth!

 

[riffjim4069]

Magic number remains two and the Indians are easily ahead in their game.

JV takes to mound this evening against Minnesota for the Tigers. We close the season with six road games: 3 at Minnesota and 3 in Miami. Shouldn't it be mandatory to close out your season with a team from tame division, or at least league?

Jim Leyland was very outspoken about this, and I can see his point.

When it comes to the last week of the season I'm sure folks would rather see NYY vs. BOS than either one of those teams playing San Diego of Milwaukee. As much as I love Interleague play, it should cease by the end of August.

Leyland mentioned something to that effect the other day, personally you would think they would at the very least, play against someone in your own league.

It should end ENTIRELY and while they're at it, take the ASG and make it NOT effect the WS.

Yep, you can have the best record in baseball and give up home advantage based on the outcome of the ASG. Talk about things that make absolutely no sense.

Well, I'm also touting IL Play to go away, while the Tigers have a very good IL record !

 

[Jimbo]

Any word on Cabrera since the game the other day ?

AFAIK, he should sit till the playoffs.

The Red Sox were in the middle of all these divisional games, and now they go to Colorado for a 2 game series starting tomorrow night.............weird.

The season started out weird ...

Interleague games on the 1st day of the season ...
The Astros now in the AL ....

Definitely a strange season.

Definitely a strange season.

It won't end strange when the Tigers win the World Series.

Cabrera will be back in the line up tonight, apparently, the injury wasn't all that bad.

 

[riffjim4069]

With Miggy and Prince pushing past 30, the two really need to focus on getting into top shape during this offseason. Both should report to spring training 20lbs. lighter IMO.
