A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #79...Friday Night BANGERS BANGERS...KERSHAW vs BUERHLE and Guess whose Back in 305...TIGERS @ RANGERS...Swingin' A's @ SOUTH Siders

The Friday Night MLB Big Time Match Ups feature a STAR going back Home...Round of Applause...the Tigers and Rangers battle for a Pennant...and the Swingin' A' on a Mission of Sorts visit the South Side of Chi City to take one the AL Central leading Pale Hose.

It will be a battle of Ace Lefty's in New Marlins park as Kershaw battles Buerhle but there is another Huge Twist to this Story. Hot Corner and former SS Hanley Ramirez visits back where it all started for him in Miami playing for the Fighting Fish.

Hanley had started with a bang but now has settled into where he was at with the Marlins slumping at the Dish. A Change of Scenery will probably take its Toll for the Worse this Season but next Season after getting settled in L.A. he should come out swinging.      

The Marlins are out of the Race but the Dodgers are right in the Thick of the NL Wild Card and NL West Race.

The Tigers trail the pale Hose by less than a Game as we go to press and have a Big Series against NL West Leading Rangers in Arlington, Texas this weekend. It looks like Verlander will go to the Bump on Saturday for the Tigers and the rangers will send Darvish to the Bump on Sunday. Both teams need to stay the Course as the ranger have over a 5.5 Game Lead and the Tigers rail the Pale Hose by less than a Game.

As for the Pale Hose on the South Side they will not get rid of the Tigers and they just have to play Sound Fundamental Baseball and not Scoreboard Watch. The A's on the other hand have been so hot they are right in the middle of Both the AL West Pennant Race and AL Wild Card Hopes.

Both Teams know what at Stake and both of the Teams they are watching will be playing in Texas so one of these Teams will help the other out but we won't know that until after Getaway Sunday.
