Yankees Managed to pull to within 6-4 with the bases loaded and 1 out,Teixeira popped out foul to 3rd,Cano walked to draw to 6-5 with 2 outs,Swisher swung at an 2-0 pitch and flew out to end the game,I really thought they were gonna pull it out.

You guys need to keep winning so you win the East

Yes! 5 game winning streak, argueably the hottest team in baseball. Hopefully Max can get it done tomorrow, then it's up to Fister to get us the road sweep!

Go Tigers!

I said 3 of 4 would make me happy, and i'll stick to that, but a sweep would be awesome heading into Minnesota.

Win streak over, thanks to Brandon Inge who continues to show how bad he is. Single handed cost the team a possible win in 1 inning of HORRID defense

AND.....

Series win!

Listened to the radio at work, Fister pitched great 7 innings no runs given up and 5Ks, Austin Jackson had a leadoff homer and sac fly. Benoit/Valverde took care of the final innings while Valverde went to 38/38 on saves for the season and won 2-0 to take a 6.5 division lead.

Tommorow opens up a 3 game series at Minnesota

Rick Porcello vs TBA (tommorows starter pitched 3+ innnings in relief today)

Scott Diamond has been announced as the starter for the Twins tommorow. He has a 5.5 ERA and is 4-14 in AAA for the Twins this season, AKA, there is a high chance he gets tagged tommorow.

FYI: Fox Saturday Afternoon will feature Justin Verlander going for his 20th win on the season!

i agree with the comment about name calling but dan knows very little about the tigers except for some stats and even less about the subtleties of baseball as a whole. it's obvious that he is young and has no respect for experience. to believe that as an amateur he knows better than a professional major league manager with over 40 years of experience in the game is not only ludicrous but an insult. there are only 30 major league managers for a reason. to consider oneself qualified for such a limited talent pool without any references just doesn't make sense. as sparky always said secure the talent and then get out of their way, paraphrasing of course. leyland will take that team as far as the players let him.

I guess giving my opinion has made people angry these days?

I watch every game, I know a good manager between a bad manager, you don't have to like it but this "your young, you don't know what your talking about" stuff is old, age means nothing.
