What I'm watching: Saturday night the Tigers lost to the Chicago White Sox to fall into a 1st place tie for the AL Central division with the Minnesota Twins with one game left in the season. We're essentially talking a one game season, win or else. The Tigers win, they are either in the ALDS or a Tuesday playoff with the Twins. They lose, then we have to hope the Royals have something up their sleeve, and knock off the Twins. If not, then the Tigers join a short list of historic major league choke jobs.

Obviously, the Tigers have my utmost attention, but I'm just as big a fan of the Lions as well.

What I'm going to try to do is watch both the Lions and Tigers. I'm hoping to work out the logistics with fellow Detroit-centric Bloguin blog, Detroit4Lyfe, to have a joint TWFE-D4L/Lions-Tigers live blog using CoveritLive. Details to follow.

As for the Lions game, it's simple. The Bears are more talented, deeper and playing at home. The Lions are lacking talent, have little to no depth and have yet to prove they can win anywhere consistently, let alone on the road.

This game has blowout written all over it. But I've been known to be wrong occasionally a lot.

Prediction: Either the Tigers win or I'm curled up in the corner of TWFE HQ in a fetal position, crying tears of great baseball sadness. As for the Lions? They lose. What else is new?
