What a tremendous finish to the home schedule. Tigers end up with their best Comerica record ever, 23 games over .500.
Freep had a particularly candid article about the future a few free agents. I’m pretty sure the writing is on Laird’s locker, not the wall.
stephen – did you “acknowledge” Inge?
Galarraga has been beat up pretty bad his last two starts, which have shot his ERA up from 3.89 to 4.44. Two shut-outs to end the season and he’d break 4.00.
Final home game of the season for the Boys. Who’s going?
What a game last night. JV has been something else these past few outings. It took two errors in the ninth for the Twins to plate a run, and he finished with his second complete game in as many tries. Apparently, he’s developed a new curve over the past few starts.
Pavano is 17-11 this season, with a 1.16 WHIP. Incredible. A large part of this has been his ability to get ground outs, as his 1.49 GO/AO ratio is the best it’s been in 10 years.
Bonderman needs two good outings to keep his ERA under 5.
Unless a rainout can push a game back to the 4th, JV only has two starts left. 19 wins would tie a career high.
10 days left of Tigers baseball, sigh.
Davies v. Scherzer in the rubber match.
Galarraga versus Chen as the boys go for their 5th straight.
Last home stand of the year for the Boys. Tigers have dominated at Comerica, where they are 19 games over. But the Twins have been so good that even if we were .500 on the road, we’d be 5 games back. Twinkies are only 1 game out of the top spot in the AL.
Grienke v. Porcello in the opener.
Did you know the Tigers are 45-27 when we score first?
Tigers win gives us a series win over the Sox for only the third time since 1991…(that’s 20 seasons).
Prime time game on ESPN, let’s not disappoint.
JV looks to continue his recent White Sox domination – over his last 4 games he’s 4-0 with a 1.38 ERA. That’s 23 hits, 5 ER and 25 K in 32.2 IP (courtesy of Dan Dickerson). I’d love to see Verlander ensure another series win over the bad guys.
Lucas Harrell on the rubber for the White Sox. He gave up 4 on 6 hits against us 2 weeks ago in 4 innings, but none of them were earned.
Tigers elimination # is 1…
White Sox are 9 games behind the Twins. Wow.
I’ll be at the game tonight to root for the Boys.
Bondo v. Holland in a game that really has little importance for either team, as Texas is playoff bound and our Tigers are not. Though Texas is only 2.5 games behind Minnesota, so they could still nab the second overall playoff spot.
The Rangers are coming off of a sweep of the Yankees that included a walk-off HR, a walk-off HBP, and an absolute gem from the recently struggling Cliff Lee. No timetable on Hamilton’s return to the lineup.
