Mauer hitting .468 in his last 14 games. (.308 on the season) All while playing at a very high level at two different positions.
Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, Lyle Overbay (the great bambino) is batting .183 in that same time frame, (.236 on the year) and is literally being booed off the field at home.

very disappointing 6-6 homestand for the Twins...
basically right back where they started - and with 12 fewer games to play...

Still a long way to go though. And the Twins have finished strong in recent years.

Mauer comes off the bench in the top of the 9th to drive in the game winning run.....to bad he is terrible and this was just luck.

Re: Unofficial A.L. Central Thread
Verlander gets dinged up again by the White Sux, but gets the win.
Tigers can do no worse than 4-3 (hopefully 5-2) on an important division road trip.

Bengal Belters are still up by 2 on Cleveland after a loss to the pale hosers. Chicago is 3.5 back and the Twins 6 GB.

Verlander flirts with another no-no into the 8th inning as Tigers win.
Detroit up 2.5 on the Tribe, 4 on the Sox and 7 on the Twintown Terrors.

With two long months to go.
I hope the move they made to get Fister and Pauley from Seattle pays off. They gave up some good young talent in the deal. But when you consider that their number 5 starters have one combined win to date, something had to be done.

Benoit blows a three one lead in the 8th inning, but gets the win for the Tigers.
Indians, White Sox and Twins lose.

Re: Unofficial A.L. Central Thread
Chicago stays hot and cuts the lead to 5 games last night. Tigers and Indians have a big three game series in Cleveland starting tonight. The Indians have a good chance to move up from 4 games back, with no Verlander or Scherzer pitching in this series.

Big win last night for Cleveland. Great defense by both teams. Fister must have thought he was back in Seattle with the run support he got.

Re: Unofficial A.L. Central Thread
We're more or less at the three quarter pole and heading into the home stretch.
Detroit 64 56 .533
Cleveland 60 57 .513 2.5
Chi Sox 60 60 .500 4.0
Minnesota 52 67 .437 11.5
KC 50 71 .413 14.5
This is turning into a three team race, with Minnesota playing poorly of late. Chicago is really making a move. Detroit and Cleveland are both hanging tough.
