Detroit probably has more talent but the White Sox have a nice little cushion here as we're getting toward Labor Day -- I do believe. The White Sox will be all the Tigers but it's going to be a great race in September a huge huge series in Detroit coming up over Labor Day weekend. And then a big four gamer in Chicago in September it should be one of the best race and baseball the rest. The Orioles acquired Joseph Saunders and the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

The allies that rotation in a division where -- gonna steal a left handed hitters I loved it straight they would trade Matt Lindstrom. Because he of course -- the many right handed arms evident open. That to the open they have they're allowed them to kick it straight tremendous identity yet and wanted I didn't think -- -- of well Orioles to capture those two wildcard spots the American League. Finally the Pittsburgh Pirates where heartwarming story in the first half and a threat to win in -- than -- Now aren't third late let it happen. Joseph predictably won the Pirates were not able to get that big bat in the middle lineup. Andrew McCutcheon stop seeing the interest -- He's had in August that -- -- our worst what is it still a decent look but. -- if not does standards look at the rest and I don't know walker another he caught an Atlanta. Injured his finger and has not been the same hitters since starting rotation. Has fallen on hard times Eric Bedard James McDonald so when you look at the grand scheme of things. It was into McCutcheon a locker and it's starting rotation that's a statement early in the season. Really all the -- -- all look at bonds -- kind of bailed them recently. And there are a division with the team. Had moved -- knows how to when it came from behind a good distance last year there -- club that I was in second place. Ahead of the art -- didn't by the -- but I do look for the car that finished fifteenth or they are now in second place NL central.
