You'll be able to do that. You guys got very hot at the perfect time...mid August to mid September. He did only give up 3 hits yesterday--yeah, 2 were bombs but I wouldn't be overly worried. I think you guys are set up great for post season. Benoit and Schlereth are pitching well in their set up roles, perfect closer and fister was the real boost you needed. Plus you hit. You're coming in exactly like the Rangers were last year...well under the radar.

It was the official Manny Acta threw in the towel game. 1-1 game in the 7th he passed over Sipp, Pestano, Smith, R Perez for Frank Herrmann Munster. Season officially over!! We knew that, but now Acta has acquiesed.

A little betting angle:



Mr. Munster is only effective when pitching the 12th through the 16th inning...by then, the opposition's hitters have batted 24 times and are very tired.

Back to .500!!! Two home runs for Chisenhall and Trevor Crowe is still batting Zero. gomez 3rd straight win. We played the AAA slap hitter Carrera instead of Grady. I think we're better doing that.

slotdirt update...

If the Indians finish up the season 20-0 (with LaPorta back on the roster, this may not be a pipe dream any longer), the Tigers need to go 9-9 to force a 1 game playoff.
