How the hell do they keep escaping these jams?

From what the Indians broadcast showed, it looked like a clear out.

Hmmm from the angle they showed on MLB Network it surely didn't look that way, I'll have to see it again.

Cy-Lander does it again, and the Indians loss.
All is well lol.

Though the White Sux need to lose too lol.

I'm telling you... Those White Sox worry me more than anything, they haven't been very good this year and they are only 3.5 games back, not good. I was afraid of this.

But you are right, good night all around.

I'm more worried bout ourselves then the other 2 squads.

The Tigers have the talent to win the division, there's no doubt in my mind, it's just doing it. Especially after the last few seasons, definitely nerve-raking with the way things have finished, but this is a new year with a lot of new players. I'm not too worried about it.

Same here. We tend to find ways to lose, but also find ways to win. Just have to worry about ourselves and do what we can.

I hear all the talk about the White Sux are going to "make a run" and Adam Dunn is going to "heat up" First off, they have been hovering around .500 all year, and it seems like whenever they get over .500 they start to lose and drop back under it. Second, I get what Adam Dunn has done, but the whole preaching he will "heat up" is getting old. We're half-way through August and the guy is still hitting under .200. He was a great NL player, but AL is a different league and some guys just don't do well in both. This could also just be an off year for him. They happen sometimes.

When we have days like we did yesterday, with those timely hits, it makes me feel good about the team, and I continue to feel good because I know we are capable of that on any given day. Just need to go out and do it.

Nothing is a guarantee with Leyland at the helm. All Tigers fans have learned this lol.

Which is why I'm cautiously optimistic... haha

 

[RipCity32]

I'm sure we fuck it up

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I'm sure we fuck it up

I'd be use to it, that's what my teams do, they all fuck up, wouldn't be surprising, add another to the list.

 

[RipCity32]

To be honest, I think it comes down to how Fister and Porcello pitch down the stretch.

Definitely need them to pitch better than they have been recently... Ubaldo sure got rocked tonight...
