Tigers Win Orioles Lose

[atomic]

They are only 2 1/2 games ahead of us now with 4 games between us left.  They must be sweating bullets.

Be very afraid . Tigers came back from a 6-0 deficit against the Yankees. Granted it was  against Cortes,but this guy did defeat the Aztec Empire. 36 year old Edwin Jackson looks like he might fit in nicely in next years Oriole rotation. 9.76 ERA  with 93 hits and 20 homers in 59 innings. As Bordick reminds us,you always need a veteran presence. He would fit in nicely with Wojo,Gojo and Dojo. Dojo can teach the young guys.

Great idea for a thread!   Definitely something to follow for the rest of the month.

We seem to be doing everything we can by continuing to pitch Brooks and Blach.

That Elias is one sharp cookie.

The big show down is this weekend

Prediction: Other than the head to head match-ups, this doesn't happen again this season.

Davis batting first.  Hess back in the rotation.  Has Strailey been DFA'd by the Phillies yet?

At no point will the team attempt to lose any games. All players used will be used for other reasons other than to weaken the team.

What I will continue to do is root for the TIgers to succeed.

The Tigers have six games left against the White Sox.  I wouldn't count us out yet.

Oh, it can happen, but the White Sox are 20 games better than Detroit at this point. They're not terrible.

Honestly, I’ll be very happy if we hold onto the no. 2 pick while winning a few games along the way.   As things stand now, we could go 4-14 and be assured of getting no worse than the no. 2 pick.   

I’d say we need to lose 3 of 4 in Detroit to have any shot to catch them.   Not sure I have the stomach for it.

Its not just #1 vs #2.  You are talking about another $700k of pool money.

Pretty easy if you don't watch the games.  

I have some respect for those that are still living and breathing by every game on TV, even if I don't entirely understand it this year.    I'll never stop following and loving and obsessing over this team, I just don't need to actively watch them get killed every night to do that.
