Whose fault will it be if the White Sox lose the big series vs. the Tigers?

I feel like the White Sox have been constantly outplayed vs. the Tigers not only in this series, but in their last two series in Detroit. In a nutshell, the Tigers have been outhitting and outpitching us, and we just have had no answer for that.

I get this funny feeling that if the White Sox can't find a way to beat the Tigers tommorow night, we could lose the division, because we couldn't beat the Royals or the Tigers.

Where has the pitching and the offense been vs. the Tigers? And, who's to blame for the lack of pitching and hitting against the Tigers during the past three series.

Whose fault will it be if the White Sox lose the big 4-game series vs. the Tigers?

Do you think the White Sox' inability to beat the Tigers or the Royals will haunt the White Sox, if they lose the AL Central division?

    the entire teams fault, they look scared vs detroit. the entire season the white sox have defied expectations by playing as a loose group with really nothing to lose, but when they face detroit with a chance to put a strangle-hold on the division they essentially choke it away because the moment gets to big for them, which means they would be an early playoff exit even if they made it.

    detroit is the more experienced team, and sooner or later i do believe detroit will pull away regardless of wheter they win tomorrow or not. time is running out, but i just believe they have just enough to pull away with the division. its not that the white sox are a bad team, but they dont have enough pieces to maintain it. you really shouldnt blame anyone, youve outperformed all expectations, if anything applaud the season you've had, and if you make it you make it.

    if you lose to verlander, even though your tied, that could be the loss that sends your team spiraling out of control..if you win, its a huge momentum boost. verlander dominated you last time out. hitters ballpark this time, who knows. im a tigers fan, but the way we are playing we dont deserve to win the division. well see what happens. should be a fun game.

    If the White Sox were to lose the AL Central, it will be because they just weren't good enough to get the job done. The Tigers were supposed to have ran away with this division. If anything, the Tigers have underachieved this season. Had they had a healthy Victor Martinez all season, who knows? The Tigers could have been ahead by six games instead of behind by one.

    I'm thinking the opposite of you. Why can the Tigers play so well against Chicago but so bad against everyone else? Our pitchers right now are on top of their game. Scherzer has been the best pitcher in baseball in the past month of two. Verlander is Verlander and Porcello and Fister have looked really good. Sanchez has been doing enough to stick around.

    The Tigers offense has been dormant lately, but does great against White Sox pitching. I don't know if their pitching coach doesn't know how to prepare for us or we have very good scouting reports for your staff.

    So to answer your question, I'd say the White Sox' pitching coach.

    Game 1: Tigers sport 2: White Sox game three: Tigers I suppose Verlander will beat Buehrle however Edwin Jackson will beat Penny. The Tigers were taking part in lovely just right today at residence. (Rangers sequence) I feel Max Schrezer will defeat John Danks in a shootout
