Yuck. They'd won 11 straight at Cominsky. Was gonna come to an end at some point. I agree that Holton is a concern, and Hanifee has not been effective. Time to try someone else. Owens?
I still hate the yanks, but it softened a bit because the DD Tigers owned the Yankees in the post season, and my hatred of the Dodgers is higher. And since Big Papi in 2013, the BoSox are higher too. I'll root for the Yanks to sweep Cleveland
Want to give a shout out to Tork. He donated 7.5 million to build a shelter for homeless. I did some digging and it's legit. Also saw he does charity to help diabetes research. I've worked with homeless families and individuals for most of my 36 year career, so this hits home for me. You're a good man Tork!

They were a playoff team last year, are over .500 this year and have a top 5 player in MLB. Their offense is lacking but they're hardly aaaa. Wacha has an arsenal mix like Bibee and Hendricks, and all gave the Tigers problems.
Cobb doesn't sound very close to me

My expectation is he puts up ~ .250 and 20/20 and play great defense. But I also expected Mars to bring back the Marathon bar (and no, the Cadbury curly wurly is not the same)
About 4-5 years ago I thought the White Sox were poised for a long run - Anderson, Jimenez, Moncado, Robert, Rondon, Giolito......indeed, baseball can be cruel
Tigers are 70-33 in their last 103 regular season games. This week Steve Phillips said he is not convinced they are for real. He's usually pro Detroit. Go figure. He's wrong
