I think the Tigers would be a tough out for either the Yankees or Red Sox. Facing JV twice in a 5 game series would be very scary.

And after Sabathia, who do the yanks have? Tigers have a really good chance against them. Win first game with Verlander, then beat either Colon or Nova or Garcia or Hughes doesn't sound too hard.yankeehater said:

Okay lets go BOSox!!!
I actually feel comfortable going against any of the three

I mean sure the central has the one real race left in MLB. I don't see Chicago sticking around, so I think it will be primarily Cleveland scratching at the Tigers for the remainder of the season.
Back on the constant MVP talk. Detroit wins, I want to give Verlander both the CY Young and MVP. He is just that good.

Hey he definetely deserves some votes. I also think Asbrudal Cabrera deserves some votes 2. A top 10 finish for his stellar year helping the Indians to be a contender this season.Sanjuro Tsubaki said:

Chris young talks about his rehab
I hope he'll come back healthy, no matter where he plays. Really a nice guy.

Well if the Tigers do actually want to hold the Tribe back Leyland needs to wake the fuck up. Verlander could pitch Sunday against them since there is a day off in between but right now Leyland has him on Monday against the Rays.
Also stop resting guys who are hitting like Betemit who is hitting over 300 since joining the Tigers. Send Raburn down to Triple A, use DK only when you really have to.
JV has a lot of pressure on him since their rotation is so terrible, Max can pitch well but not consistent. Porcello has been a joke this season except for the month of July. #LOLBradPenny and they should bring Delow back into the rotation once more or give Turner another shot even if it's too soon.

Turner's on an innings limit that he's pretty close to hitting. I agree he should be in the rotation though. The race is too close to not be using your best rotation. Stick Penny in relief or something.
The most frustrating thing for me this season has been Leyland's lineups.
Jackson should be batting 8th at best. He should be our #9. 34 leadoff strikeouts and an leadoff OBP of .262. Wonderful

Why don't you think chicago will stick around? They are playing their best baseball over the past.couple weeks without signs of slowing down. They have struggled all season at home but are a win away from winning their second series at home in a row in as many attempts (baby steps bro). The sox have owned the tribe this season and have quite a few games left against them.Sanjuro Tsubaki said:
The sox also have a top 5 AL position player and pitcher this season.

Yeah, I'm far more concerned with the Sox than the Tribe. I was hoping Cleveland would've pulled out the victory last night, and I'm the last person I'd expect pulling for the Indians.

You had to have seen the other run differentials when you posted that...eznark said:
cuevas said:
Yup, but I am far less concerned with the run differentials of teams in front than the chasers, especially when you have two to leap.
Not saying it can't be done or anything, just a reason that I don't love their chances. I think they are playing better than their record.
Though my buddy did just do a great write up on how skewed the Brewers run differential as compared to other NL Central teams is based on interleague scheduling differences, so maybe there is some of that in there.

If Jackson wasn't the stellar CF he is he'd be completely useless. The guy strikes out at least three times a game it seems. While Granderson is over 30 long balls. padnmpaindiaspidh

And he'd still be batting leadoff if he was in Detroit because everyone knows Center Fielders = Leadoff Hitters.
Francona continues to amaze, starting Darnell McDonald when he clearly cannot hit, no matter whether it's against lefties or righties. Oh yay he has 4 homers in 80 at bats against lefties but also has 16 strikeouts. He sucks. STOP PLAYING HIM. AND SERIOUSLY STOP PUTTING HIM SIXTH IN THE LINEUP.
Crawford vs. LHP 1721 PA, 82 wRC+
Salty vs. LHP 413 PA, 54 wRC+
Aviles vs LHP 391 PA, 111 wRC+
so i guess not a bad idea to hit him 6th after all. You could make a case for having Salty and Crawford bat in the last two spots. Of course, besides crawford those samples are really not that big.

So if you were threatened with being raped rawdog by Roberto Alomar, and you were forced to choose a pitcher - who would you rather have between AJ Burnett and John Lackey?

So last night was the first time Halladay ever lost a game when he had a lead in the 9th, he had been 52-0 in that situation before.

Phillies are phonies. DBacks are the most legit team in baseball. Get on the bandwagon.
