Tigers acquire Delmon Young from the Twins.

I was at the game when he hit 500. It was even Jim Thome bobble head night. It was the only game I could make it to in 2007, guess I was lucky to go to that one

Congratulations on number 600 from a Red Sox fan. You have always been a worthy opponent who was fun to watch. Your place in the Hall of Fame is secure.

The White Sox had 5 triples last night. JP had a great game including a dinger

Ozzie still pissed me off last night..

That ain't happening!! Everyone knows my two favorite teams are the Mets and whomever is playing with Yankees.

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.
