In the end WHite gave up 6 runs in 6 plus innings so it turned out not to be a good start.

Had to be Jimenot in a White suit.

Or maybe culture shock is a valid excuse.

Brantley is the next DL assignee.

Oh no....Valbuena!!

Actually White gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. I don't pay too much attention to what's going on. They had the bullpen in the 7th inning. HE had two outs in the 6th and gave up a bloop hit down the left field line and then a Jimenez pitch for a homer. A bad game but better than 3 of the 4 Jimenez starts here.

That's a painfully sssso true statement.

Randy Moss...what could he hurt??

I don't know, every time I see Doug Glanville on ESPN, he keeps telling me that the White Sox or Indians are going to overtake the Tigers. I know he's not lying.

I think it's silly for the most part. Your offense is so much better than the other two it's not funny and you have Verlander...hands down cy young winner...in fact he's clinched it. Fister was a good pick up to solidify the rotation and Valverde gets the job done, uglyly, but it's done. I think the Tigers will have a decent shot in the post season too with Verlander pitching game 1 in the first series. You'll have way over a 50-50 shot to take a 1-0 lead.

Now starting at 2nd base and batting 2nd......

DOPEY PHELPS!!!! Hurrayyyyyyy!!!

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Verlander pitches game two of a postseason series.

Tigers have 34 games left. Six game lead on the dreaded White Sox and 6.5 on the Indians. White Sox would have to go 24-12 to catch the Tigers and the Indians 24-11, provided the Tigers can play .500 ball the rest of the way. They're also on their longest streak (winning or losing) since May right now. Anything can happen.
