April 12: Sox 4, Tigers 3 -- Thome homered again, and Jose Contreras allowed one run and six hits in eight innings for the victory. Chris Shelton hit a two-run homer against closer Bobby Jenks in the ninth, giving him a major-league-leading six homers. April 13: Sox 13, Tigers 9 -- Thome homered again as the Sox opened a 9-1 lead by the fourth inning. Hard-throwing Justin Verlander yielded seven runs and seven hits in 2-2/3 innings. The game set Comerica Park records for hits (38) and extra-base hits (15).
May 26, 200619 yr As far as I'm concerned, the Tigers are for real until proven otherwise. All last year, people were saying the same things about us that a lot of posters here are saying about the Tigers now. That said, I'm really looking forward to playing them head-to-head again. I think that's going to answer a lot of questions.
