Early September probably.
The time frame I heard was 3-6 weeks.

Boston - 3
LAA - 1

To the top of 9th.

In comparison, to finish out August the Tigers have:

Pirates (2 away, 2 home) 62-55
v Mariners (3) 61-55
@ Rays (3) 57-59
@ Twins (4) 51-64
v Yankees (3) 61-56
@ CWS (4) 56-62

with doubleheaders when they face both the Twins and White Sux

He was hot in July (he was voted the player of the month). If a productive Hosmer is able to take the spot currently filled by Kratz/Ibanez... Look out.

I'm not sure we are going to ditch our backup catcher

I was just a sperm then. This is all new to me.

I'm referring to the DH spot currently in the lineup, not Kratz' spot on the roster. Though Billy likely goes back to DH, Hos/Billy is likely more ideal than Billy/Kratz.

Runner on 1st for the Blue Jays.

yeah I'm 35, and remember when the Royals were in the world series but I really didn't care about it much then simply because I was 6. This is a whole different experience for me to sit and care about how a lot of different teams fare each day.

To the 15th inning....

....aaaaaand 15

Christ. Come on BlueGays.

Please don't use facts against my emotions

Let them play 27 innings & have the Blue Jays win in a walkoff.

Truly awesome to see 2 teams we're competing against for the playoffs unnecessarily wear down in an epic 20 inning battle

I'll say this, it's hard to argue against our current string of success. :)

Bottom of the 15th now.

Off the wall!!!

DAMN!

I was at a local bar called Wimpy's with a table of friends for the 7th game of the WS,we all bought a pitcher of beer right before the 9th inning and on the final out proceeded to douse one another with a beer shower.A waste of alcohol but damn was it worth it.

I thought that was gone! lol

What channel is the BJ/Tigs game on?

Come on Kawasaki, you weird asian bastard. Win it!

When was the last time the Royals and Chiefs were both so good or made the playoffs in the same year?

this

make the game so long the tigers feel like they have played a double header

Wouldn't 27 innings be a triple header?

Damn. Now nobody wants to win the game....

Intentional walk to pitch to Bautista???

I wish the MLB Network would show this game.

For the people watching it, what channel is it on?

And to the 16th.....

francisco is such a bitch. If he would have legged that out instead of pretending to fall over, the BJs might win.

And Boston wins. Royals gain a game for the 1st WC as well.

Well shit, not looking good

jays had their chance
Tigers going to make them pay.

Bases loaded no outs for the Tigers

Or not!!!

And theTigers get nada

DP!

woooooow

Lol

How the hell did they pull it off? Holy cow.

The good news is that there is no bad result in this game for us. Either Toronto goes 2.5 back which is good since they are playing Seattle the next 3 days and one of the two have to win.... or we get closer to Detroit.

That is demoralizing for them.

nathan on to pitch?

Sort of....

I really want the division, with Soria and Sanchez going down, the door is open

Yep. Nathan is in to pitch.

Nathan threw 28 pitches Friday & 26 pitches yesterday...looks good for the BJ's.

This game sucks ass.

Our timers on fire!!#

This game is great. I hope they play 30 innings.

This.

I want Nathan to throw 30+ pitches.

I hope this game never ends.

on to the 17th, sweet

I hope some guy from the Detroit bench comes in to pitch. Would probably be better than their bullpen.

too bad the tigs only have an 1hr15min flight to Pittsburgh. Hope they play till midnight.

white sox have the tying runs on in the ninth against the m's.... two outs though

bases loaded for the sox

either Jays win or we play 18, nice

Yes... use up all your pitching Detroit!

Dear God I hate Fernando Rodney.

dang..... m's survive.

Blue Jays and Mariners playing each other next. Hopefully they rough each other up.

sweet, porcello is in

Porcello is scheduled to start Tuesday, wonder if that focks that up

Base hit!

Will they IBB again?

runners at 1st and 2nd, no out

If he pitches 3+ innings I'm sure it will.

Porcello looking like shit.

Only had 3 days rest from 7 inning, 110 pitch start, I'm sure he's not close to 100%.

Porcello is complaining about the mound?

mlb network sucks, who gives a fock about Arizona and Colorado, show the focking Tigs/ Jays

This.

Now they are...

Jays not doing any of the little things today.

then we need to see a few more innings here

Juan Francisco is a free swinging douchebag.

Jesus.
