A race to the finish line!!!!

I'm sure you all can tell by now the tigers play this season is pretty inconstant so far.   They play like contenders for 5-6 games then play like it was last year 5 or 6 games.   2nd thing that scares me is the way they play on the road compared to how they play at home.   1 or 2 runs on the road is not gonna get it done.

   For the Tigers to win the Central they are gonna have to do 4 things to the end of the season.

1. Keep playing good at home, it's the only thing making up for our crappy road record.

2. Verlander and Jackson are gonna have to be horses the rest of the year with no mistakes, every start is gonna have to be a quality one.   Even 1 or 2 bad outings the rest of the way could be the difference.

3. Maggs and Polanco are gonna have to stay some what hot the rest of the season, no slumps.

Lastly Rodney has to keep doing what he has been doing, he's only blown 1 save this year which is great.  Didn't we give up like 16 games last year to blown saves,  pretty or not if he keeps this up we have a decent shot of holding off the White sox's.   I'm fully aware that we will at some point probably lose our lead to them but have faith we can pull it off with the last 3 games coming at home against the White sox's.
