Friday, Sept 30th Game 1: Verlander vs. Sabathia @ 7:30 CT

f*** Detroit, f*** the Yankees. That is all.

I have nothing against the Yankees and this particular Detroit team bothers me, so go Yanks

This. I would love to see Valverde blow his first game for Verlander off the bat.

If CC out duels Verlander 2-1, 3-2, something like that I think the Tigers are screwed, Fister or not.

 

(That's an awesome end to that sentence)

f*** the Tigers. Although after this series, f*** the Yankees; too.

I want to see Valverde blow 3 saves this series. That f***er's gotten lucky all year and acts like a total douche.

It's funny, in 2007 I loved his act when he was performing it on the North Side in the playoffs. Now I can't stand the f***er.

im not gonna lie, i think Detroit is a darkhorse here, their offense has really come alive and their pitching can carry them. If they get past this series and can pitch Verlander multiple times in a series, they could really start rolling

I agree. I actually wouldn't have a problem with them winning it all, either.

The Tigers are slight dogs tomorrow with Verlander on the mound...

Have to root for the Yankees. Especially with Freddy starting Game 3. Bunch of ex-White Sox players on the Yankees and Granderson is from Chicago. Granderson had a helluva of a season.

 

I hope this Game One pitching match-up is as epic as it should be

 

I want 8+ from both and a 1-run game

Verlander whipping 98 in the rain in the first. Quick 1-1 tie for year pitchers.

That was a very Un-Cy inning from Verlander...

 

Hope the rain doesn't affect the game... would suck for the weather to take away such an awesome pitching match-up

Any other game there would already be a delay. It's POURING...

Why the hell wasn't the new Yankee Stadium built with a retractable roof? 23 rain delays this season?!

Sounds like the rain is gonna last for a while. Pretty interesting situation considering how dependent both teams are on their aces.

Damn shame to burn JV and captain cheeseburger for 1 inning.

This SUCKS!!!!. I wanna watch some baseball.

Annnnnnnnnd PP'D

 

LAME.

Game 2 will start 1-1 in 2nd inning. Nova to pitch Saturday, Sweaty Freddy on Sunday.

The big Q is when the aces come back.

Tigers rotation: Fister, Scherzer, Verlander, Porcello, Fister

WTF is Leyland doing? Verlander should go game 2 and Porcello? Ha
