Tigers Vs. Rays

Here is a question, who's is in first place in the AL East as of August 1st? It's not the Yankees, nor is it the Red Sox. It's the Tampa Bay Rays. God, I don't get tired of looking at the standings. I really don't. It's almost better then coffee to take a look at the standings and see the Rays ahead of Boston and New York.

Moving forward, the Rays have a task of shutting down the Tigers. Now, the Tigers have the best squad that is doing poorly, at least in the AL Central. Granted yes, they have been a lot better. But I did truly feel the Tigers would be in first place in the Central this year. Then again, what do I know.

So, Draysbay, what you do think with happen against the Detroit Tigers? I hope the Rays will offend me with some offense, but that's just me.

Let's Go Rays! De-claw the Tigers!

Fri, Aug 1 Detroit 7:10 PM   Kazmir (8-5) Miner (5-3)
Sat, Aug 2 Detroit 6:10 PM   Sonnanstine (10-6) Rogers (8-7)
Sun, Aug 3 Detroit 1:40 PM   Shields (9-7) Galarraga (9-4)

Will the ball ever travel slower than the game Saturday night?

LL Cool J may not take the stage until 12 with these two soft-tossers on the mound.

I think we sweep

We dominate at home and the pitching matchups really favor us. Of course it is going to require 3+ runs a night to win…so who knows?

Hopefully a Tigers sweep...

...but regardless of what happens, good baseball is to be played. A great team recovering from a slow start that remains in contention against the definition of a giant killer. If I wasn’t from Detroit, I’d be a Rays fan.

Go Tigers!

Nothing but credit to you guys. Madden really knows how to run a team.
