Porcello/Darvish tomorrow. Dreaded lead off walk.

Rangers better win this.

Tigers bases loaded, 1 out, 1-1, 9th

Records through 112: Sox 61-51 Det 60-52 Oak 60-52 Bal 60-52 TB 60-52 LAA 59-53

Deserved to lose that one. Need to go 6-2 the next 8. No more bulls***.

Konerko out for a week...blessing in disguise?

Sanchez 3-4. If his ceiling is a 9-hole hitter that can hit .280 and play a decent 2B, then it's better than what we have. Seeing that he's 20, I don't think we know what his ceiiling is yet.

I predict Axelrod starts for the White Sox on Thursday or Friday.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 05:53 PM) Did WGN always have this pre-game show, this interview with Gregor and Merkin seemed all kinds of awkward. They usually have one on the weekends with Dan Roan. Rich King sounds like he had stroke.

How about a good old fashioned ass kicking tonight? 8 runs in the first few innings, tack on a few more....Liriano 7 good innings.

Yankees picked up Derek Lowe. Good luck with all that.

Roberto Hernandez (Fausto Carmona) starts Wednesday vs Angels.

Sabathia back on the DL. Sox probably weren't going to face him anyway.

Final 50 games: Sox: Home-24 Away-26 Above .500- 22 Below .500- 28 Tigers: Home- 25 Away- 25 Above .500- 22 Below .500- 28 Orioles: Home- 26 Away- 24 Above .500- 26 Below .500- 24 A's: Home- 21 Away- 29 Above .500- 28 Below .500- 22 Rays: Home- 22 Away- 28 Above .500- 29 Below .500- 21 Angels: Home- 29 Away- 21 Above .500- 26 Below .500- 24 A's and Orioles---No chance Rays---Maybe. They have the pitching Tigers will probably win the division unless the Sox beat them head-to-head. Then it's Angels or Rays at Sox or Tigers in the Wild Card Game.

Sox play their 112th game tonight. If they win, these are the records with 50 games left: Sox 62-50 Det 60-52 Oak 60-52 Bal 60-52 TB 60-52 LAA 59-53 Obviously, one of the two Central teams will win the division. Breaking down the final 50-game schedules, the Tigers are either going to win the division, or they are going to host the Wild Card game with Verlander on the mound.

7/23 - 10/3- to win 89 games vs Min 2-1 (3-0) +1 at Tex 1-2 (2-1) +2 at Min 2-1 (2-1) +2 vs LAA 2-1 (2-1) +2 vs KC 2-1 (1-2) +1 vs Oak 2-1 at Tor 2-2 at KC 2-1 vs NY 2-1 vs Sea 2-1 at Bal 2-2 at Det 1-2 vs Min 2-1 vs KC 2-1 vs Det 2-2 at Min 2-1 at KC 2-1 at LAA 1-2 vs Cle 2-1 vs TB 2-2 at Cle 2-1 39-28

It was going to be Milone and Parker, and now it's Blackley and Colon today and tomorrow. The Yankees series sets up to be Garcia, Nova, and Hughes. And we may miss Felix Hernandez in the Seattle series too. I'll take it. BTW, all indications we'll see Fister, Scherzer, and Verlander in both remaining series with the Tigers, with Verlander starting the last game of both series.

Wild Card: Det 61-52 - Bal 61-52 - Oak 60-52 0.5 TB 60-52 0.5 LAA 60-53 1.0 This is something.

Buehrle is in his patented stretch of crappy starts. Last 5 starts... 6.84 ERA

Trout...homer and 5 RBI's off King Felix. Ho Hum.

f***.

Time for a Dunn homer. That 396 has been staring at him for a week.
