Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Game 162 Overflow Thread #2

Optimism hasn't been in abundance in Tiger Town in recent weeks.  But so far, this is going pretty well for the Tigers

And they need to make sure it stays that way, because the Twins are sticking it to the Royals right now.

Oh, and Ryan F. Raburn.

Tigers 5, White Sox 0 going to the seventh inning.

The universe basically turns out as it should.

If the Tigers lose, that’s because they just weren’t good enough. Except in rare circumstances, things unfold they way they should unfold. Just accept whatever happens. Root for the Tigers, but if things don’t turn out the way you want them to, that’s because that’s just how things are.

he's announced Porcello

And that is who I would go with, too. He may be a rookie, but he’s been pitching better lately and he’s a rookie with a full season of experience.
