Josh Willingham hit HR #35 last night, the first Twin to hit at least 35 since Harmon Killebrew in 1970. amazing.

He also has 110 RBI.

 

I hope he hits about 10 more.

 

I [heart] the Tigers defense. They are little league bad.

1-2-3 7th for Cook going through the heart of the order.

A's add another run on a sac fly. Two down, they lead 7-4 in the top of the 9th.

It just amazes me that a team with so much talent, can be that bad.

Dotel got blow'd up

 

Infante may have brought offense where Raburn was killing them, but he has been absolutely brutal at second base.

Scherzer cleared to start Game 1 Sunday.

So -- the Twins

 

What are the Bears on or something...?

Verlander on sore left shoulder: “It was sore this morning, but it’ll be fine.” Iced it today, probably will do same next couple days.

Stupid f***ing Kansas City Royals.

Well, Cy Chen did his part, but Gordon/Butler and gang did not.

I haven't studied this at all, but I wonder how other division championship teams in baseball are faring against their divisional rivals the past 2 years or so.

I would think you play a team that many times over the past many years that it gets tougher and tougher to have an amazing record against a divisional rival.

For instance, can you see any scenario in the future in which we ever truly dominate our division record wise? I'd think in the Sox case, a .500 record against divisional foes overall is about the best we can hope for. Because of familiarity.

Scherzer scratched from Friday start and Smyly now replaces him for #Tigers

Because they know they have this and they'd rather have him for the playoffs.

Both #Tigers and #WhiteSox have sore-armed pitching staffs. Jim Leyland’s experience needs to be difference-maker if Detroit is to win.

Doug Fister just broke the American League Record! Nine consecutive strikeoutouts. #Tigers

Manny Acta fired. Alomar, Jr. interim.

Good for Sandy, probably bad for the White Sox.

Royals tie it up and then give up a lead off double to Fielder in the top of the 9th.

Their starting depth is better. It's their pen that is becoming more shaky. Even after Fister's performace, the pen gave up all of the runs. Good for them the Royals decided to do a Tiger's defense impersonation.

 

Hope Detroit has to play Texas. I'm not high on the Yankees to beat the Tigers.
