My Tigs are clinging to that first place spot. Although 2009 is still fresh in my mind. I wish Verlander could pitch everyday.

Not worried about the Sox making a run?

Me either to be honest

Sox or Indians, just praying for no collapse (which they have done every year for the past 5). 2009 took the cake; losing the tie breaking game 163 to the Twinkies after being up 7 games with 15 left (I think). Brutal.

Brutal? From the outside, it looked more hilarious. It was like the old Alphonse and Gaston joke: "You take it! No, you first! No, you sir! No, I insist, you take it! No, you!"

Beckett Vs Shields tonight is a much watch!
If not for the injury, this is a game Beckett would win.
He made his career coming up big in spots like this.
I just don't know how much missing a start and the ankle will effect him.
Even if it does, I still expect a gutty performance.

Shields is no slouch either!

kelmac07 · 09-16-2011, 09:01 AM

Alright...so the debate begins to heat up...who wins the AL/NL MVPs?

AL: Granderson isn't hitting for high enough average, but Cano has come on real strong lately. Does Verlander even garner votes being a pitcher? Do Gonzalez and Elsbury cancel each other out? Michael Young has got to be given some consideration.

NL: This race is wide open.

I can think of a few Mets who qualify . . . for other teams.

Cabrera should receive plenty of consideration as well. Not sure how I missed him.

Congrats to the Tigers!
I know I would be excited too if my team took near a quarter century to finally win the division,
no matter how weak that division is!

kelmac07 · 09-17-2011, 10:22 AM

Congrats to the Tigers and their fans.

Tigers celebrated with cigars also. Not sure what brand they are but it looks like some form of Ashtons.
