Well, it would still be nice for the Tigers to make sure that the White Sox don’t even get a shot via a playoff with the Twins.

I know it's the last game of a dismal season, but I say we throw everything (including the kitchen sink) we can at the White Sox tomorrow. The last thing the Tigers need is to end such a horrific season watching the White Sox celebrating the division title. Go Tigers! Time to play for pride.

What time will the game be tomorrow against the White Sox if Minnesota holds on? I know a lot of Tigers fans just want the season to be over, but it sure would be nice to close out 2008 by denying the White Sox a postseason bid.

Jim Leyland didn't deny it, so that leads me to believe it's true. They also said Jeff Jones is gone. The Detroit News has the rumor.
