People seem to forget that I do show up when we're winning mainly cause i'm more obnoxious when we lose... I think I like spammed on youtube video several times on huge winning streaks. I can be positive... I just happened to be busy when we were winning.

Such a frustrating year to be a jays fan, the bullpen gets fixed and all the bats go on the DL. EE vs the world is about all we have left lol.

I'm cheering for the Tigers, Detroit always trumps Chicago for me.

Dont get too worked up

Tigers will win tonight and pull even with Sox ,,,,,,, The Twins put a 7 spot on board

Sox young pitchers have dead arm at this point , Liriano is mostly a trainwreck (Guy has great stuff by my god he walks everyone) , Peavy is up and down and our #5 spot is being held down by a collection of rookies

Gavin Floyd being gone is big hit ,, He wasn't pitching well but he allowed Sox to have a 6 man rotaiton which was keeping the dead arm from becoming issue

Well at least the Sox are going to lose. Unfortunately the Tigers have proven that they are incapable of winning on the road so we will know by the end of next week if the Tigers are making the playoffs.

Bottom of the 9th has been unwatchable. Let's see if Delmon Young can save the day..............

Nope. Indians own the Tigers like the Tigers own the White Sox. We can expect two/three more losses in Cleveland.

Nah. The division will come down to the last week or two of the season. You'll have plenty more than a week to vent your frustrations over important games

Sox have no pitching at this point

Sale is struggling , Peavy is up and down , Quintana has dead arm , Liriano has no control

Axelrod (Another rookie) likely to move into rotation in Quintana's spot (He is getting worse) and Floyd's elbow is ?

At least Tigers still have a heatlhy pitching staff and thats what wins in Sept/Oct

The wild card hopes are slipping away...gotta hang in with the Sox, that's their best chance of getting in.

Well looks like Sox are gonna win today. Cant afford to lose with JV pitching. Maybe the Tigers offense decides to show up tonight.

There is a really annoying pattern the Tigers have found themselves in that I'd have hoped they would have shaken off when they swept the White Sox...

Tigers Lose/ChiSox Lose
ChiSox Win/Tigers Lose
Tigers Win/ChiSox Win

Good grief...

I don't really follow the Tigers, but from what I recall....they were under .500 until July, thats tough to overcome.

Digging into the numbers the Mariners are 5-1 vs Detroit and 1-8 vs ChiSox.....holy crap thats huge.

Does Bobby Higginson have anything to do with Tigers post retirement?

Always liked him back when Tigers sucked

3 out of 4 in Chicago gets them back to even...can't lose this series and give away ground in the last head-to-head with the Sox. Only 16 games left after this series.

Monday: Porcello vs. Quintana
Tuesday: Fister vs. Peavy
Wednesday: Scherzer vs. Liriano
Thursday: Verlander vs. Sale

If we stop caring about the Tigers just because football has started, we probably shouldn't have ever cared about them at all

Yeah, winning 3 gets them back to even, gives them some momentum, and imo puts them back in the driver's seat. Splitting the series would stink, but let's them hang around and still have a decent chance. Losing this series will be a tough pill to swallow. They'll be 4 or 6 games back with only 19 remaining. That would be pretty tough.

I'll be at Wednesday's and Thursday's games. I'll be sure to heckle AJ.

At least we can stop talking about the wild card - the Central is only going to send one team to the playoffs.

I missed the beginning of the comments, but I swear I heard the announcers during the Lions game today talking about how Stafford, being a big baseball fan, said the Tigers best chance of making the playoffs was getting a wild card spot. Wonder what his reasoning is. To win the Central, the Tigers need to make up 2 games and leap 1 team. To get a wild card spot, they must make up 4.5 games and leap 3 teams. Seems the former is much easier than the latter.

Tigers basically need to sweep the Sox to have any hope of winning the division. The price you pay for losing easy games.

2-2 wont cut it
3-1 wouldnt be ideal either

I am expecting 2-2. This team has shown it's incapable of winning on the road.

JV has also started to look very human.

The Tigers don't need to sweep the series. They are two games back with 19 to go, and all of the Sox pitching arms are imploding. The Sox won't be pulling away unless they win this series. I expect the Tigers to take 3 of 4 though, and that puts them in the driver's seat.

And then the Tigers get drunk again and drive into another wall. I hear Cleveland has very nice highway median's.

Sorry Jaster, but the Tigers cannot consistently win on the road. Going 5-5 was going to be a good road trip before they started the series against the Angel's and they got swept with Jared Weaver sitting out.

Now they face Chicago and after that go to Cleveland where the Indians absolutely own the Tigers this season.

Oakland is playing great baseball too.
