On the positive, Tigers Win and the Royals are beating the Sox 5-2 bottom of 9th.

Yankees Sabathia does battle with Sanchez and the Tigers at Comerica Park this evening. Offhand, you would have to give the nod to NYY on this one...although Sanchez picheded well his last game, the Yankees are in a slump, and the Tigers are hot and playing at home. Go Tigers!

Twins take 2 of 3 in Cleveland

They've actually played pretty well of late. Unfortunately, you can't make a good season on a good PART of a season.

Things are getting a little heated with all the hit batters tonight. You get the feeling that these teams don't like each other much.

Tigers making it intresting

 

[Jimbo]

Tigers were trailing 7-1 when I fell asleep ...

I woke up and it's 8-7, I look at the TV and now the Yanks got 2 guys on again ....

I'm going to take another nap now ...

 

[Jimbo]

Tigers end up losing tonight, but the Sox lose as well to KC.

Thank you Royals !

Day game for the Tigers tomorrow.

Tigers vs Yankees this afternoon - 1:05 PM game time. Should be a good game since Fister is doing battle with Kuroda.

so true. And as long as they have Nishioka in the field anytime the ball is hit near him I cringe

I think they should send him back to the Japanese league. I don't see him improving.

The folks in the booth usually talk about Cabrera, Fielder and Jackson...but Andy Dirks is quietly coming into his own; 2 for 3 so far this afternoon. Is there room on this team for an Andy Dirks?

Of course there is, he was starting earlier before he was injured.

Nice win last night on the road in Arlington. Scherzer pitched well, Fielder hit one in to the seats, and Jackson legged-out an inside the part variety. Verlander takes the mound at 8:05 this evening.

Always nice to get a win on Texas and have JV follow, I see sox won as well

 

[Mr Tony]

Twins got pummeled....what else is new

Well, it doesn't happen as often as it did early in the season.

Tigers, sox lose, tigers had chances there half of the ninth

Yep, the Tigers squandered a good pitching performance by Verlander.
