Tigers L 6-2, 22-17 overall, 2 GB from Twins
You think the White Sox won the frickin' World Series by the way they were talking about this game yesterday. Jesus. I mean, yes its true, the Tigers always pick another perennial loser in the AL Central to lose to, game in and game out, defying conventional wisdom (last year it was actually the Royals, the year before that the White Sox, and the year before that Indians) but come on guys, act like you've been there. And it's not even really like Chicago outplayed us, we just failed to convert. In both the sixth and eighth inning the tigers had men in scoring position with less than two outs and failed to convert (Cabrera had two cracks at being the hero. Lined out to Andruw Jones twice. Remember when he used to be talented... that actually applies to both players...) Porcello gave up 3 runs in the fourth, but retired his next 9 batters, only needing 12 pitches to complete the fifth and sixth innings. Porcello said with the extra day of rest, he just felt too strong and couldn't get balls down in the strike zone like he wanted (I also normally feel too strong after an extra day of rest... thats why I use alcohol to make me feel the same amount of shitty everyday...) Leyland agreed, stating "He [Porcello] didn't have a brutal performance. He, just early on, was a little strong and couldn't get the ball down and they whacked it." So congratulfuckinlations White sox. You beat our pitcher who was too strong on an extra day's rest and our hitters who just didn't hit you. You got lucky. Get over it.
