The betting line slightly favors the White Sox over the Tigers tonight, with Fister (8-8) scheduled to pitch versus Peavy (10-10.) Dunn is still out with a strained oblique.
I could see this going either way, but the mood in Chicago is to go for the kill by winning tonight.
Do the Tigers still have some fight, or are they dead men walking?
Tigers 6 - White Sox 1
Football season = no OT topics
Did you not see BISB's comments on your post last night?

Per MGoBoard FAQ: "We will let pro sports topics slide even during football season but "everything else" posts are likely to get the axe."
Has BISB changed the rules around these parts?

I think it was an addition to the special snowflake rule
Not trying to be the blog police - but I saw a note about "I'll leave it up this time" from BiSB yesterday in the Tigers post.
Blog nagger then? They'll
Blog nagger then? They'll delete it if it's junk and they'll leave it if there's worthwhile discussion.
Go Blue!
Missed BISB's comments
Missed BISB's comments. But I am fine with this post vanishing into the ether. I thought that Detroit Pro Sports were always ok. So, if Detroit was in last place and it was between the Sox and Cleveland, I wouldn't have put this up.
EDIT: I did see that. I thought referencing the betting line and the probability was slightly different from a snowflake thread.

My understanding is that this
My understanding is that this is a University of Michigan sports blog, not a Detroit area or state of Michigan sports blog. Unless you're specifically discussing former U of M athletes, I believe all such posts should be limited and at least marked OT, especially during football season. Please keep in mind that many (if not most) people who follow U of M Athletics are either not from the Detroit area and/or don't care about/root for Detroit's pro teams.
And you keep in mind that
And you keep in mind that many that follow UofM athletics also follow Detroit sports teams. The pro sports threads are limited to game threads. It's not like we've got a Tigers beat board going. It's one thread a day. I think most can handle ignoring it if they don't wish to see it.
I acknowledge that there's a
I acknowledge that there's a significant overlap between U of M fans and Detroit fans. Is it too much to ask that these posts be labeled OT, as per the rules of the blog? Doesn't anyonone here give a shit about the rules?
Do you seriously need a "OT"
Do you seriously need a "OT" in front of "Betting line favors Sox over Tigers..." to know it is an OT thread?
Have you ever read "OT" without reading the rest of the title?
You're just trolling or trying to be some self-important internet tough guy. If you don't want to read about the Tigers, just move along. Tigers game threads have been a staple on MGoBlog for years.

Sox 5 Tigers 2. They have no fight and will Leylands lineups, no offense at the top of the order. This team is one of the hardest teams to root for I have ever seen. THey should be SO much better than this.
I assume you mean no
offense at the bottom of the order right, because the Tigers 1-4 hitters have been among the most productive in the baseball. 5-9 production has been the major problem all season.
As far as having no fight, what exactly are you basing that on? Baseball is not a physical contact sport, just because a team is struggling doesn't mean they have given up
No, I mean the top of the
No, I mean the top of the lineup. We are in a penant chase and they simply aren't hitting...top or bottom...I don't think the top of the lineup even put anyone in scoring position during the weekend for Cabrera to hit in if I recall right...from the Detroit news:

Fister throws a gem

Prize for being closest
Discounting the fact that the two hits were home runs since they turned out to be "meaningless," I think two hits over seven innings counts as a gem. Especially the 14 outs in a row on the back end. Good guessin'.
Trust me, I'm a scientist.

Expect the worst, hope for the best. I don't think I've ever followed a more frustrating team in my sports watching career, that said I could easily see Fister toss a gem.

The White Sox have been just
The White Sox have been just about as painful this year to watch. Get swept by the Royals, sweep the Yankees. Sweep Cleveland, get swept by Tigers. Up, down, up down. I've really just been waiting for them to bottom out and collapse. I truly hope it doesn't happen, but I'm not very optimistic that it won't.

Tiger's victory.. Yes, yes, I'm feeling it..Go Tigers!

Leyland lost me when he put Raburn #2 in the lineup, following a start in the six spot the previous night. Bunting over Q berry that night from first was icing on the cake, when he could have called for Q berry to steal second and then bunt him over to 3rd.
