Venturing to go look at pistols, BRB.

Unfortunately, we're closer in the division than we are to the wild card.

The pistol search went well. I'm saving some funds.

It's gum time.

I'm biding my time, polishing the gunmetal.

Wilfredo Ledezma Bold Prediction- We will be within 2 games of .500 (either 2 over, or 2 under) by July 1st and 2nd place in the AL Central...

I feel it.

No OST's = W's

You do love to jinx a good thing.

Seconded. Disgusting. Go watch some more Bravo, leave the baseball to us.

Sox will take the division...

^ reverse jinx

^ reverse jinx

Great, now they WILL win the division.

God.... Wil, you suck.

You really think you can call it out like that and have it still be a reverse jinx? What, do you think the Gods are stupid?

Wil, you're really not cut out for this sort of thing... I think you're better suited for analyzing what people wear to award shows on E! with that gay bald dude.

Noted. No more predictions for me.

Or comments on how certain things are going while they are going good...

the White Sox get the Cubs next...

hopefully we can have that thing lowered even more by Friday...

Don't Worry - the Nothing League will save us!

Now THAT's Drunk

Ya'll owe the CUbs big time for the ass whooping we dished out to those whiny ass mouth-a-holic white sox.

Don't Worry - the Nothing League will save us!
is that a joke on the league that doesnt need a pussy DH to help our pitchers hit? :P

Ya'll oh the CUbs big time for the ass whooping we dished out to those whiny ass mouth-a-holic white sox.

I'm sure Leyland sent Sweet Lou a fruit basket.

Question, are the white sox always this sore a loser when they get swept?

White Sox = bunch of punks, always

From the owner on down to the catcher

I think it's about time for the Tigers to lose 5 in a row and wipe all this out.

I think it's about time for the Tigers to win 5 in a row while the White Sox lose 5 in a row and wipe all this out.

:yingyang:

Fixed.

We go 18-4 to close out June (19-8 total for the month). Unfortunately the Sox have won 5 in a row and we haven't been able to make up ground on them past where we were a week ago. The Indians represent the only AL Central team that's a bigger disappointment than the Tigers, and this series they have against the Sox may be the turning point or the coffin. We'll see. Meanwhile, we have 6 games against the Twins in the next two weeks - an opportunity to move past them.

Twins and Sox have a 4-game set to finish July.

9 games left with the ChiSox this year, too

Sox start a 4 game series Vs. Oakland...

they get Duchscherer (who leads the MLB in ERA), Blanton, Greg Smith, and Rich Harden...

Oakland always gives us a hard time, hopefully they give fits to Chicago too...

something needs to give, I still can't convince myself that the Sox are that good, maybe they're the '07 Tigs (monster 1st half, 2nd half back to reality)...

Does anybody else hate watching Blanton pitch? He reminds me of Jones (but even dumpier). He just looks like he's throwing junk the whole time.

Per ESPN.com:

5.2% chance of winning the division

2.1% chance of winning the wildcard

7.3% chance of making the playoffs

I hope the Twins win this shit. Fuck the White Sox.

The pathetic thing is, I don't thing the Sox or the Twins are all that good.

What a wasted season for the Tigers.


“I’ll just tell all of you to say whatever you want and write whatever you want,” Leyland said in his brief postgame media session. “That’s all I’ve got for you today. You guys write about it. You saw it. You write whatever you want. Report whatever you want.”

Detroit (55-56), one of the preseason favorites to win the AL pennant, is 13-16 since the start of July.

“You’ve got to step it up if you want to be in the hunt,” Leyland said before the game. “You don’t want to be in the hunt, go home. Take an early vacation. Come back for spring training. We’ll bring some kids up to play. We should be embarrassed. I’m not sure enough people are.”

I'm sure this will spark the team and lead to a nice 2 game winning streak. :)

Tough loss yesterday.

They are DONE. If they can't beat any playoff teams now what's the point of trying to make it there.

As bad as it is (and it is bad) we're closer to first place in our division than the Yankees are in theirs.

Where's Boston at?

Where's Boston at?

Massachusetts.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean.

Massachusetts.


Smart ass. I'm sure he knows that.

Let me help...

It's on the Atlantic coastline near Cape Cod.

perhaps he should have just looked up the standings

Massachusetts.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah, neither am I.

If someone had told you back in April that Armando Galarraga and Zach Miner were going to be our best two starters, well, you would have known that this year was going to suck.

Everyone knew Minor was going to be our best starter. The only surprise is that Verlander isn't #2.

I'm still trying tofigure out why the appocalypse hasn't started yet considering we have both Minor and Farnsworth on the team now.

Ahh, but you forget the missing piece, whoever else was involved in that deal (I don't remember, I doubt he was anything worthwhile)

I'm still trying tofigure out why the appocalypse hasn't started yet considering we have both Minor and Farnsworth on the team now.

You know what makes it even more weird?

The original Miner/Farnsworth trade happened on June 6, 2006.

Think about it.

Also, no it didn't.

My head just exploded.

I haven't been paying much attention, so I just noticed that Cleveland has past the Tigers in the standings.

We're now in 4th place in our own stinking division (so are the Yankees, fwiw).

By the way, go Twins.

I hate the ChiSox.

Go ChiSox.

I hate the Twins.

(not the baddass who posts in the NCAA thread)

^You'd hate the ChiSox more if you lived in West Michigan.

Bunch of Cubs/Sox fans over here. Fucking bastards.

^ You'd hate the Twins more if you were born in/worked in Minnesota.

Although they're not as bad as Cleveland.

Sox are hurting bad. Konerko is done, Quinton was already and Creede has been hurt too. Can we sucker them into taking Sheffield now?
