If the Tigers hope to make post season, they will ahve to go through the Yankees, more than likely.
The defense had better get tight and the offense had better wake up. That's all I have to say...

We had a bunch of minor leagers play today due to the rain and the 3 day travel schedule. 6 of those runs would have been credited to Minor League pitcher Jon Kibler who started instead of Max Scherzer.

Due to the weather, both teams pulled their starter because they wanted them to get 6 innings in and they knew the weather would not allow it. Seeing the weather radar, they never should have played this game, 3 games in the state were canceled.

According to Beck:

Jason Beck wrote:: The starting outfielders made the trip today; the starting infield will go back to Dunedin tomorrow.
