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.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 09:24 PM) That's unfair if you are implying AJ was a p**** there. No, I'm glad he didn't because I don't want him suspended either. But since he already knows he's not going to rush the mound, don't even look at him and take first base.

And my new whipping boy too, to boot. Good time for 2-week stretch of Tank carrying the team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) or he's smart and knows that getting a fight and getting suspended for 5 games would hurt the team way more than winning any fight would help the team? The Padilla one, he should have. Right now isn't a good time for a suspension, even if it's 3 games. But the point is, he'll never rush the mound.

This game just feels like a loss. Hope I'm wrong.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) so from going back some pages, gavin hit cespedes on purpose and thats when they gave a warning? A fastball got away from him. Hit Cespedes in the back. McCarthy drilled AJ on purpose. AJ looked at him all tough, and did nothing as usual. Warnings issued.

2 homers for Manny Machado. 20 years old.

Whatever Viciedo was doing from May 14 to May 30, he's more than welcome to do that again. He's been pretty brutal.

Lineup http://twitpic.com/aht3m7

McCarthy coming off the DL. Milone and Parker have been less than great over their last five starts, and don't pitch well on the road. Hopefully we score 25 runs this weekend with three quality starts, and head on up to Canada with a 3 game lead.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) flavum, might as well update their record. BUMP. Updated in the first post.

Red Sox. They suck, and they get too much attention that they don't deserve.

Yes!

Where's Rivera when you need him?
