rwfan007 18 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 Magic number is actually 6. Cleveland is tied with the sox, but they have 2 more games to play. We only shaved one game off the magic number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 Six is the correct answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 Oh ok I see my mistake. 5 for the White Sox in 2nd, but 6 for Cleveland in 3rd, due to the White Sox playing one more game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis 576 Report post Posted September 14, 2011 Tigers magic number is down to 3 with their longest win streak since 1968. Unleash all the superlatives, this team is going nuts right now and I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted September 14, 2011 I thought today was going to be the day that the Tigers finally give up a loss with Penny pitching. I was right up until the top of the 9th and 10th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwfan007 18 Report post Posted September 14, 2011 This is insane. I thought for sure that we were gunna end the streak, but today and the last 2 penny starts before this, we won in spite of penny, not because of him. I guess it is a good thing to do to learn to fight out wins, but I don't think Jim will let penny touch the ball come october. Magic number down to 3 pending the indians game tonight, it could be 2 when we wake up in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 Unreal win today. Penny was his usual self, but the guys battled back and kept the streak going. Nice game for Carlos and Avila just never stops. Gotta give some credit to Leyland too for using his bench in the 9th and 10th almost to perfection. The original starting line-up today was lackluster, but he pulled all the right strings late getting his better bats off the bench into the game. Huge at-bats by Raburn and Ordonez too that got overshadowed by Avila and Guillen's hits. It appears the magic number will be two after tonight as the Rangers are destroying the Indians. The Tigers can clinch the AL Central tomorrow in Oakland with some help!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) With a Tigers win and Indians loss tonight, the Tigers clinch the Central. If it doesn't happen tonight, I'm sure it'll become official Friday. 2011 AL Central Division Champions (almost) Edited September 15, 2011 by Barrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 I hate the Tigers schedule especially the interleague portion. Why the hell do we need to play the Pirates twice and can we quit with the Rockies every freakin year? Only positives are the Cardinals coming to Comerica and the Tigers play at Wrigley. Go Rangers (tonight) and hopefully we get good Max. Time to win the AL Central! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go Rangers (tonight) and hopefully we get good Max. Time to win the AL Central! Yeah, it seems like the MLB is really trying to harvest that Pirates thing. It will be cool to have the Cardinals in town, and I'd like to make it to Wrigley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Well tonight's probably the night. First division title since 1987! Just for fun, the Baseball team I play on clinched a trip to the finals last night. I play LF and it was fun yelling and screaming running to the infield to join the team after the last hitter struck out. I hoping for the same for the Tigs tonight. 1 Travis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwfan007 18 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 We haven't clinched YET, but I want Cleveland to win tonight, so a win for the Tigers would mean an on field celebration. Magic number is still at 1, and we all know what happened in '09, so I will celebrate when it is official. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
