The showdown starting tonight in Detroit may go a long way in determining the make up of both Central divisons for the next couple weeks. The Tigers have been good at home and have won 8 of their last 10 overall. The Cardinals were sliding precipitously until taking 2 of 3 in Boston. Expectations, especially my own, have been flipped on their heads by each of these teams. Could this be the series where each regresses/progresses to where I thought they would be?Your pitching matchups:
- Tonight: Braden Looper vs. Kenny Rogers
- Tomorrow: Kyle Lohse vs. Armando Gallaraga
- Thursday: Todd Wellemeyer vs. Nate Robertson
Oh yeah, they played each other in the 2006 World Series, too. CHECK KENNY'S HAND FOR MUD OR TAR OR SHIT.

Again with the "Touch Me, I'm Dick" photo to illustrate a post?
Quick, Detroit Tigers, HIDE YOUR LITTLE BOYS.
I wonder if that Cardinal is a righty or a lefty.
I think he cut a hole in the bottom of his biretta "just to give it some air."
CTC, you forgot to call Leyland an asshole.
I love how a sub .500 third place team can playing and interleague series can "go a long way in determining the make up" of it's division.
Blame Herr Selig.
@bc
When said team is only 5 games back of the divison lead despite being three games under .500, things can get a little hectic.
1. Cut a hole in the biretta
2. Put your junk in that biretta
3. Make her open the biretta
AND THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT!
@honeynut
I know... They will probably win the division. That would seriously suck ass but at least the White Sox wouldn't win it then.
Rob,
I blame Selig for most things that go wrong in my life. Last year I took a day off of work to go to a Thursday day game and go the the ground breaking ceremony for the new Twins stadium just so I could boo the shit out of Selig. Wouldn't you know, the evening before the game a fucking bridge fell down in Minneapolis so they canceled the event and the game. That really sucked because I ended up going to work instead of going to the game and a groud breaking event where I could boo Selig.
Clare wins.
