On the team the Tigers probably should really be looking out for and the Lions running attack
Count me among those who dismissed the White Sox. Just something about the way that team has played this season, especially given the malaise of such high-priced players as Adam Dunn and Alex Rios.
But maybe we were too quick to judge.
The White Sox have won 8-of-10 games. They are .500, only four games behind the Tigers in the American League Central standings and host the Indians in a big series this week. The Tigers need to take advantage of the Twins and their 25-37 road record this week while the White Sox and Indians are doing damage to each other.
- About the only downside to the Lions' preseason-opening 34-3 victory over Cincinnati Friday was they weren't very effective running the football. Recent free agent signings Jerome Harrison and Mike Bell didn't do much. Not that they had holes to run through...
There will be some good backs cut loose near the end of the preseason, though. Here's one possibility for the Lions: Keith Toston from the Rams. He is a good inside runner, who is getting buried on the depth chart in St. Louis by veteran acquisitions. He ran well against the Colts in the Rams' preseason opener. In addition, he's a good special teams player.

Knew that Chisox were the threat and that Minny was out.
But didn't think the Indians would hang in there. You were right, the Indians schedule is good and the Tigers had better be prepared to beat both the Sox and Indians.
Leyland can't have the Tigers to continue playing between 0.500 and 0.520. Otherwise they end up with 86-87 wins and this thing goes down to the wire.
They have a lot of games remaining intra-division.
