Exactly, for as much as people blow the Tigers horn they and the Sox and the Twins are all 6-4 over their last 10 games. Also, the Sox and Tigers have played 22 games at home while the Twins have played 30, and guess what, the Twins are 5-14 on the road and 19-11 at home. Â That's why I thought it was crazy that people were acting like the Sox had no chance this year when there was talk about the Peavy trade, they do without him, adding him to the rotation would only make it stronger...

Tigers have yet to lose more than 3 in a row, too. You know that will change. Both the Sox and twinkies have hit rough patches. KC is hitting theirs now and the tribe seems to be emerging from one that started opening day. I think things will look different by the end of June.

Benchwarmerjim Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 baseball is better when the divisions are close anyway. the wins seem to mean more when your rivals lose (or in the Sox case Thursday, gaining some ground on a day off) and you check the standings and teams are jockeying for position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â So far the AL Central is about as ugly as everyone predicted it would be. It's amazing to think that despite how awful the Sox have played, we're still only 4 games back in the division. Â Of course, the same can be said for the Twins, who's starting pitching has been awful so far yet they are just 3.5 back. That's not going to stick around for the rest of the season, especially if Swarzak finds himself in the rotation for good after a couple of solid starts.

BearSox Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 If some national league doesn't swoop in and grab Dellucci, I'd love to get him for Charlotte. Â I've always liked Dellucci, and he'd be a good option to have down in Charlotte in case of more injuries. However, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't catch on with another MLB roster. It's not like he was doing bad this year. 11 hits in 40 some AB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the last few seasons they have lost several series there before one pitch was even throw. Convincing yourself that your opponent is so great and has such a huge advantage isn't going to do any help to your winning percentage.
