Detroit @ Indians Series Thread

• OQB

  

  EXTREMELY important series if we want any kind of chance to win the Central division.
• Classyposter58

  

  My Tigers have just been on fire as of late and that game against the White Sox was just whoa. With all that being said I don't see a sweep either way but Tuesday's game is gonna be everything...if Fister beats Jimenez then the Tigers will take this series and IMO the Tigers will cruise to a division win

  This is the biggest game of the season for Cleveland. If ever there was a 'must' win this early, this is it.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Sad to say, but the walking wounded need to sweep the tigers.
  
  Go Tribe!!

  One at a time....that's how they have to look at it. Jimenez needs to come up big today. These are the types of games he was traded for. Grady may be activated today.

  Sizemore activated and batting leadoff.

  If Tigers play .500 the rest of the way; Indians must go 20-5 to win the Central! So; this series isn't as important as some make it out to be. 20-5 ? Forget it. :thumbdown:

  Until there's an X next to their name in the standings, every game and series is important, especially head to head.

  Tigers acquisition for Fister and a stud reliever Pauley in exchange for virtually nothing sealed the deal for Detroit. Fister's ERA was a full run lower than Ubaldo, WHIP was much better, and he pitched in the AL...not the NL.
  
  Did the Tigers give up their top prospects for these 2? Not hardly.

  This. as soon as the tribe was 5 games back a few weeks ago or whenever, their playoff run was over.

  Tribe must sweep this home series. If they do, then the numbers you posted change dramatically. A sweep is highly improbable tho.

  This!

  Acta just admitted that this game is a MUST win. I'm glad to have Grady back and even leading off. OQB: hope you have that thread starting karma going!
• Glory Days

  

  here we go with the looking at strike 3 shit again. what dont they understand about being ready to swing with 2 strikes? santana and fuk both looked at good pitches.
• BR1986FB

  Druby K's with the bases loaded to end the 3rd...smh
• royal_k

  

  There's one big opportunity missed.
• OQB

  

  Druby can't get it done with bases loaded....:mad:
• Glory Days

  

  5 Ks through 3 innings....
• royal_k

  

  Nice pitch Ubaldo. FUCK!
• Glory Days

  

  That isnt a drum you hear pounding, its a hammer pounding the nails in the coffin.

  I think he's just run out of gas--he's been carrying this team the whole season, and they've gotten very heavy over the last month
• Laley23

  

  Not looking good. I even picked up Fister in fantasy with the hopes of jinxing him since I never have success in the playoffs, no matter how good my teams are. It isnt working yet.
• royal_k

  

  I really like Jason Donald. He's a solid ball player.
• royal_k

  

  Good AB Grady....we're on the board.
• Laley23

  

  On the board. Unearned run at this point, but Ill take it.
  
  EDIT: Retires Fuk, so run is Unearned.
