Sorry about the delay in posting… life caught the best of me, but now I am back ready for the post season to begin!
Anyway, the White Sox take on the Tigers at 2:05pm EST to decide if the White Sox will win the division. If so, they would host the Twins on Tuesday at US Cellular Field for a 1-game Playoff to decide who wins the AL Central. GO TIGERS!
In other news, Tigers Manager Jim Leyland announced that pitching coach Chuck Hernandez and bullpen coach Jeff Jones would not be retained next season as coaches. In my opinion (being a loyal Tigers fan), I’m glad to see Hernandez get let go because the pitching absolutely sucked this season. However, alot of the blame has to go to the pitching staff, especially the bullpen, since they didn’t get the job done. Leyland did say that Jeff Jones would be offered another position in the organization.
Anyhow, the playoffs are here! Playoff Schedules are posted below:
