Tigers series vs White Sox
So I didn't want this to happen, but it did. The Tigers and white sox are tied with each other atop the AL Central going into a four game set at Comerica Park this starting today @ 1pm. This is when we find out what the Tigers are made of, going up against a rival at home with the division lead on the line. LETS GO TIGERS!! It's going to be a playoff atmosphere in Detroit, and I'm excited to hopefully see this team step up to the plate, in more ways than one. Verlander toes the rubber during the day game against Jose Contreras, which you would think should be a no brainer... Tigs win. But the way this team has been offensively as of late, nothing is for sure. For the night cap, it figures to be an offensive game with Eddie Bonine against Bartolo Colon, two not too good pitchers. Saturday, we see a solid pitching matchup with Edwin (the savior) Jackson against Gavin Floyd. And on Sunday we got Rick Porcello hoping to bounce back against Clayton Richard. All I can say is thank god Buehrle got his perfect game out of the way vs Tampa and we don't have to see him in the series. With the pitching matchups we have, I feel there is no reason the Tigs shouldn't take 3 out of 4 and take control of the division heading into the last week before the trading deadline. Going to be an interesting weekend to say the least....
