Anyhow, to add onto that, you really never know how good your bullpen is until you see it perform in the playoffs.

I agree about the run thing, but still if your going on stats, then there is really no comparison from last year to this year, period. I mean you can say it is a better bullpen this year, but that really is just your opinion. I gave you the stats as far as ERA goes not to mention they were considered one of the best bullpens last year. I havent heard no one ranting and raving about there bullpen this year. So if they are so good this year, then why havent I heard about them?

They'll be there, the question is will the Tigers be there as well?

When the game is close and late....I believe it's classified from the 7th inning on. Top is 2006, bottom stat is 2005.

Ranked #5 in the MLB....# 2 in the AL. BTW...Slammed will like this, best bullpen ERA = Mets @ 3.24

Also there ERA from the 7th inning on, isn't much higher than last year.

All that means is the bullpen is doing better than their starters.

I can say that if the Tigers keep the same intensity they had going into the break they can beat the Sox for the division. Their pitching was better and so was their defense. You can't keep coming back late in games ALL YEAR. Eventually it comes back to get you.

I can say that they've met 6 times, and the White Sox have won 5 of them.

I can't wait because its a statement series for the Tigers. Time to shit or get off the toilet.

How is that possible?

There are two guys under 3.00 in era. For them to have that low of an era most of there bullpen guys would be in the low 2.00's or mid to high 2's. That dont even add up.

i think its from the 7th inning on.

Yes, but that is when like 95% of the bullpen is used unless your starters are getting rocked. Most relievers come in the 6th or 7th. So those numbers would be most of the bullpens total stats. I still cant see that being possible with the total era of the bullpen overall.

I would still take last years anyway....

That is there era when the game is close and late. Another words the Era when the team is up or down by 1 or 2 runs, maybe even 3, late in the game which is considered to be 7th inning on iirc. I told you there bullpen is good when it needs to be.

Yankees are going to sign Sidney Ponson. Lol, I guess it is somewhat of an upgrade from some of the pitching they have. Still Ponson is mediocre at best.
