2011 AL Central Thread

[jrp]

Trying to keep it under control (because it's irrational), but I have a little glimmer of hope deep in my heart!

Cleveland's next series is in NY....

Followed by Detroit on Tuesday.

They have to finish the series they are already in first (Seattle).

 

[Jimbo]

11 which is still fine

another thing I noticed. Twins have played 40 games on the road and only 22 at home this year. But they have 30 out of the next 38 at home. So hopefully they can do something then

Unfortunately for them, they don't like playing at home

7-15 at home this year.

 

[Jimbo]

Well, the always giving Brad Penny will be taking the mound tonight. Let's just hope we're wearing our hitting shoes...and Mr. Penny isn't in an overly charitable mood.

Well, he's "Shared" in the first inning giving up a HR to Smoot.

The Indians are down big early to the Yankees and the Twins are down big early to the Rangers. The Tigers are even-up with Seattle. Go Tigers!

Tigers need to WAKE UP, they seem to be sleepwalking.

...all the way to a loss.

Too late, Tigers waste another opportunity to catch the Indians, losing to Seattle 3-2 .... while the Yanks pound the Indians 11-2 in the 8th.

The Indians fell to the Yankees this afternoon...Tigers are a win tonight from 1st Place.

 

[jrp]

Twin win! Nice outing by baker.

 

[Jimbo]

Looks like the Tigers will be stepping back into 1st place in the AL Central tonight, with a 7-1 lead going into the 8th inning.

It's over, Tigers win !

Move over Cleveland, you've got company tonight !

 

[riffjim4069]

Yeah...love the view from here.

 

[Jimbo]

Ric Porcello has been pitching great of late and King Felix go tomorrow, should be a good game as well.

 

[riffjim4069]

Yep, I'm looking forward to tomorrow afternoon's game. Now the question is, "What to do with Coke and Penny?"

 

[Jimbo]

I have no problem with Penny....
IF I were making the call, I would send Coke back to the pen, he was solid and reliable there and let Furbush move into the rotation, particularly seeing he's been a Starter his whole career.

 

[Jimbo]

Can we get a Penny for Coke ?

 

[riffjim4069]

Can we get a Penny for Coke ?

That means we would wind up with two Penny's...perhaps we should trade Coke for Pepsi or, better yet, Vernors.

That works, I don't drink Coke Or Pepsi, but Vernors, now your talking !

 

[riffjim4069]

I don't drink pop (i.e., soda for those who incorrectly us that term), but I will drink Vernors when I'm back in the area - it has medicinal properties.

Liriano was perfect through six, still has the no-no through seven (error). Twins up 1-0.
