The regular season of baseball is coming to a close. There is about a month left, and roughly twenty to thirty games to play. I'm a bit upset with myself for not really keeping up with the Tigers. It is one of those situations where I don't check up on the team for three or four or five days and then try to catch up.
As it sits now, they are five games up on Minnesota. As I wrote at the beginning of the season, Minnesota is a team that is always there at the end. And so it is. The White Sox really faded in the past three weeks (BWHAHAHAHA!), and it is a two team race between the Tigers and the Twins. I was cautious this past series. Detroit swept Cleveland and opened up the lead they have now. It was quite a relief to see.
The way into the post season is through the division. They are too far out in the wild card. They need to hold off Minnesota this next month. The bats seem to be coming alive at the right time. Just as long as the pitching rotation stays strong. The pitchers have been a great surprise this year. They were the questionable part of the team last year and they have carried the weight as the batters have struggled every once in a while through the season.
