4 fucking games. Let's take them all.

I really like our 4 starters this series.

The way both teams have been playing I see us going 1-3 again.

Too bad we don't get Porcello instead of any of the above.

I predict a split, with our offense falling asleep again this series, and our bullpen blowing at least one game.

Split or better, anything worse puts the wild card race on the front burner.

Split is my prediction but we REALLY need a win. They don't play many great teams. They have one tough stretch which includes Boston. The White Sox pulling a win today would be massive.

If there is one thing I like... that home cookin'.

The good thing about this extra innings game between Detroit and Chicago is that the Tigers are having to pitch a nice chunk of their bullpen. If we can get to Sanchez early tomorrow, they could be in trouble.

Cabrera PH in Detroit today, so expect him back in the lineup for the Tribe series.

Jhonny won't be good, he'll be gone.

Did you see Cabrera run to first on that single? He can barely walk.

Ah screw you Chicago.

Re: Battle for the AL Central #3 -|- Tribe vs. Tigers -|- August 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8

No Jhonny, a hobbled Miggy, and a struggling Prince.

I'll take it.

Yeah, I retract that idea of his return to the field or even DH.

Man do the White Sox suck. They lead MLB in walk off LOSSES.

I'm sure Miggy will shoot up on some roids and be fine for the series.
