Humber didn’t stand a chance today of stopping the Tigers Offense. The White Sox watched as the Detroit Tigers came to the plate in the first inning and took control of the game. By the time the smoke cleared the White Sox would see the Tigers out in front by a score of 3-1.
Humber gave up a two run blast to Quintin Berry, then he gave up another home run to Miguel Cabrera, the Tigers jumped on top quickly in this game. Just as White Sox fans didn’t think things could get worse, Miguel Cabrera returned to the plate in the third inning and Humber watched as one of his pitches sailed over the wall in center field. Humber had a look on his face that told the story, he looked like he would rather be anywhere else in the world besides the pitcher’s mound. Just like that the Tigers were on top...

The Chicago White Sox picked up Brett Myers in a trade with the Houston Astros last week, but he will serve in the eighth inning role and not as the closer limiting his value in A.L. only leagues. Addison Reed owners should feel confident that their guy will see the majority of save chances the remainder of the season unless he implodes at some point. Myers is due to become a free...

50-44, 2nd place, .5 games behind CWS.
Wow, what a game last night. Other than a very poorly located 2-0 fastball, Verlander pitched a gem. The most incredible pitch of the night came in the 8th when a 100 mph 0-1 fastball literally sawed Gordon Beckham’s bat in half, on a check swing no less.
