I think he meant Tigers not Tribe.

 

 

Yep...

 

Cleveland in first, DET in second, us pretty much out of it already.

 

 

 

CLEVELAND 29-15/30-15

 

DETROIT 22-22/23-22 7 games back

 

CHW 19-25/20-25 10 games back

 

 

3 1/2 back this year, DET 6 games back

Cleveland is for real.

 

Cleveland is for real.

 

 

They were much better last year at this time, and DET was even further behind than now.

 

 

We'll see.

 

 

It's like every year saying the Royals are for real. Sure, they just swept DET at home, but can they continue to play this well in July/August/September?

 

Like the White Sox, they've always faded down the stretch when faced with competition from the Tigers or Twins, except for 2007.

 

The last time they came from behind to win a division was 2001, when MIN got off to a hot start like the Royals in 2003 or the Indians last year. But historically, they've always faded in the second half or collapsed in the end (2005).

Ozzie Guillen thinks their manager is a clown.

Really?

I didn't know Ozzie would think of such a great team that way.

I was mistaken.

Cleveland is not the real deal.

Former Tigers/Angels/Yankees OF Chad Curtis in a little bit of trouble.

Unsurprisingly, Tigers infield defense has been a problem.

Royals tied 3-3 with Baltimore. Butler with his 10th homer and then Hosmer scores after getting the rare infield double.

You wonder how the Indians score runs with their crappy lineup.

Indians bounce back with a win over KC after the Sox boatraced them all weekend.

Nice win for the Tribe.

They were facing Royals pitching...

My fantasy team takes yet another hit. First Weaver, now Fister. Ugh.

With Fister, he was fine his first start and then it started getting progressively worse and worse.

 

Lost his velocity, movement and command, team was getting concerned about him changing his arm angle to lessen the stress on his oblique.

 

Will probably be out another 4-6 weeks.

 

 

Best available RH bat the Tigers now have is Gerald Laird. Raburn experiment over, down to AAA. In the market for hitting/2B. Right now, Danny Worth also likely to be receiving more playing time.

That is his 3rd DL stint since joining the Tigers, right?

The Sox sweep was the start of the Indians slide and Hafner's injury just confirms the inevitable...

Jeesh, the Red Sox cannot seriously continue to play AGon in rf...just dropped a flyball of MCab's to tie the score at 4...

And they shouldn't try to pitch to Cabrera, lol.

 

At least they walked Fielder to face Young.

 

Red Sox do have the lead back again.

 

 

They desperately need Middlebrooks' bat, but he already made one rookie mistake at 3rd, which allowed Miguel Cabrera to score. Then again, he hit a homer. So they're crossing their fingers on Middlebrooks at 3rd and Gonzalez, who has no range or arm, in RF.

Middlebrooks may get time at 2B if Pedroia goes on the DL.
