IMO this is the do or die, you get swept your down 8.5 games, your done for the year, you sweep/win the series, your 2.5/3.5 games back. Losing this series really is not an option. This is where we see how our players were respond under pressure, Cabrera, Miggy, Placido, Ivan, these guys need to step up. As long as pitching. It's great that we have Verlander pitching the middle game, he's just not hittable this last month (4-0, 2.25 ERA), it's also nice knowing that Rodney and Zumaya have come to play these last few weeks.

Nice start, 5 pitch first for Robertson.
1-0 in the 1st, what a break like Rod is saying.

2-1 Tigers now, bottom of the 3rd, only 1 out & man on 3rd.

3-1 Tigers now, Miggy with a double, 1 out man on 3rd & 2nd.

4-1 Tigers, Sheff get's on with bases loaded on an error. Pude now up with bases load with only 1 out.

OMFGGGG **** YOU JOINESSSS DROP THE MOTHER ****

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It's now 6-5 White Sox, another blown save, a freaking 2-run HR with 2 outs bye Dye. Now we got to verse Jenks we're done.

Game Over. Wow man.
White Sox take first game, not took it, STOLE it.

After Dyes' homer in the 9th I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

I got angry and swore a whole lot.

Jones MUST go; there is no other option. God we were right there, ready to be 4.5 back. Very frustrating

^^

The bigger point is it would have set it up for Verlander, the way he's pitching he wouldn't let use lose, I guarantee we would have won this series if we help on last night. I just hope we can get the next 2, tall order now in my eyes.

Screw this.

Yeesh....

Tommorows game might be the season...

^^
Tomorrows game is weather we are buyers or sellers at the trade deadline.
First game, was our season.

Fernando get's the save, 6-4 Tigers win.

1-2 against the White Sox doesn't cut it, nor does being only 1 game over since the break.

Hope Zumaya's okay.
