Tigers penultimate game of the regular season.
Tigers pitching staff is 20 strikeouts shy of tying franchise single season record set in 1968...Max Scherzer could put a dent in that number tonight.

DETROIT

Venezuelan media has arrived to cover Miguel Cabrera's run towards AL batting title. Many of them covered Magglio's crown in 2007, too.

Rain delay.

Damn delay

On another note, we could be on the verge of seeing not one but TWO Wild Card tie-break games. It will be nice to watch one of those that we're not a part of and that DON'T involve the stupid White Sox or Twins...

Scherzer 1st inning,

fukudome strikes out swinging,

Nice start by Max.

 

[turok]

Both the Rays and the Red Sux are leading 2-0, and 2-1 early.

Ajax leads off with a base hit

 

[johnny2x2x]

Cabby is certainly not backing into a batting title.

 

[turok]

Young RBI single, after Willie moved AJax to second, Tigers lead 1-0!!

 

[manchild98]

Cabby is certainly not backing into a batting title.

He's certainly crushing it right now.

 

[turok]

Miggy keeps up his torrid hitting pace, which I hope continues into and throughout the postseason, of course..

 

[turok]

Twinks, who lost #99 yesterday, play vs @ Royals later, they could reach the infamous 100 loss mark tonight or in their final game of the season tomorrow...woof!!

heh!!

Maggs RBI singles, Tigers lead 3-0 already, another blowout in the offing tonight??

Weaver not pitching again this year and he only needed 1 scoreless inning to win the ERA title. Interesting move.
