Official AL Central Race Thread

I can't believe that they are only 8.5 back. They started off like shit...and then tailed off to mediocrity. I guess their starting rotation getting injured was the best thing that could happen to them. Considering they'd all be really good middle-relievers

And in years past the pitching was usually pretty good...but they couldn't really generate any offense. This year it's flip flopped

I hate when players hit a hr, stand at the plate and not move to observe the HR and than flick the bat. and detroits announcers were supporting that, but if someone does that to them they would be furious.

I hate that too. Bat flip is super ****** move.

What's even worse is when a guy in college does it. It's like no dude you haven't done nearly enough to deserve to flip your bat.

Mario isn't too bad, he usually gargles the oppositions balls (White Sox a lot), but Rod Allen the color man is awful.

KW sucks for getting rid of him.

KW sucks for getting rid of him.

Pretty hilarious considering his ERA is significantly better than Danks & Floyd.

Nice try though.

Look at career ERAs and its a lot closer. I'll take Danks and Floyd.

floyd wasnt a part of the deal. nice try though. maccarthy was dealt for danks and masset (masset spun for griffey)

Mccarthy: his highest IP total was 170 next highest 101.
danks:139 rookie year. 195, 200,213,170

but you would rather have the guy who cant pitch or stay healthy. :lol:

Danks over McCarthy all day long. Don't give a shit what your stats say.

That is kind of funny you post that while Danks is on the DL and going through his worst season

I was agreeing with you.

Royals only have two more losses than the mighty Kitties.
