Lol, maybe the pot the police found in Michael Irvins vehicle belonged to Harold.

well detroit was able to pick up 2 of 3 from cleveland, but i was hoping for a sweep going into minnesota. looks like chicago is down 3-0 to minnesota. right now i don't think chicago is gonna make the playoffs. they aren not playing like a playoff calibur team

Tie Game 3-Up. Twins 2nd baseman made a nice play to nail Posednik at 1st. Otherwise Sox would be on top.

in a way i'm kinda routing for chicago. minnesota is really hot. minnesota worries me more at this point then chicago does. who has minnesota played in this stretch that is a playoff contender? they have beaten what tampa, cleveland, kansas city, baltimore?

since june 7th when they started there hot streak, they have played seattle, pittsburgh, houston, chicago cubs, texas, baltimore, la dodgers, milwaukee, kansas city, cleveland, and the white sox. only boston and the white sox were really good teams.

tigers are getting ****ed in this series cause they had there 3 top pitchers pitch in cleveland, while minnesota will have liriano and santana going against detroit

wow....again....

Yep Minnesota looks like the team to worry about at this point in time, however besides Lirano and Santana there pitching isnt anything to root about. I mean there next 3 starters pretty much ****. I guess there relief is pretty good though in Reyes and Nathan. But I really think another starter needs to rise to the occassion.

radke has been pretty solid for them. when you are in a short series having 2 dominant pitchers and a good bullpen is enough to win. you know those 2 will get atleast 4 starts. also jaun rincoln is great out of the pen for them

Brad Radke is ok, but he is just having another Brad Rake year. He isnt the talent of Santana or Lirano. I mean he is 9-7, and has almost a 5 era. I think he really needs to step it up if they are to make the playoffs, but I see them more of a threat than Chicago right now.

i agree but if minnesota does make the playoffs, they are dengerous. i don't think detroit is gonna cough up an 8.5 game lead in the division. so if detroit wins the division and gets the best record, i think it's a good chance they can make it to the world series

I am pulling for Detriot, since I like the underdogs and I really hope they do make it. But, with the way Minn. is playing and a lot of the season left, then I hope Detriot dont go in a slump, becasue Minn is playing balls out and dont seem to be slowing down much. That Mauer kid impresses the shit out of me. Probably one of the better catchers and hitters in the league.

minnesota won't keep it up cause they have a tough schedule. they play detroit 10 more times, boston, new york, chicago, toronto. this streak they are on are against mediocre teams at best. except for chicago or boston, they haven't played against top quality teams.
