The Tigers rolled into town this holiday weekend. I’ve been a little worried the last couple of weeks as the Indians slowly inched their way up the standings. But a nice four game sweep against Detroit did the trick, and now it’s just a matter of time before the White Sox clinch the division.

In the four games, the White Sox gave up only six runs. We even topped the Red Sox at Fenway today to extend our winning streak to five games. Now if the Tigers could just win a couple against the Indians, it would make my life that much easier.

The Indians are in the hunt for that wild card spot, but I think the Yankees are going to pull it out. Now, Ozzie Guillen just has to rest his guys and make sure nobody gets hurt. Scott Podsednik is back, so we have what should be our playoff lineup in there.

Brandon McCarthy had another very nice outing today. Seven shutout innings, but this time he struck out seven. And this is against one of the best hitting teams in the majors. Nice job, Brandon.
