October 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 13, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) If you turn on ESPN right now, there's a story coming up that says "Tigers take Game 1" Which is surprising, considering they love the Yankees to no end.

October 14, 201213 yr How long until they start using somebody else as closer? Valverde's given up 7 runs in his last 1.1 innings.
October 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 13, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) Cabrera is an awful "leader". Dotel got all pissed at him the other day because he wouldn't talk to reporters after Valverde blew that game in Oakland. When a journeyman relief pitcher is questioning your leadership abilities, you suck at being a leader. I hate all the clubhouse "rah-rah" chemistry BS, but there is something to be said for the difference between the Tigers dugout right now & the Cardinals last night after going down 6-0. What happened sucks, but there is still a game to be played. Pump the team up, you are a Triple Crown winner, tell them you will win the game if you get to bat again. Don't pout and cry. Another reason to root against the Tigers.
October 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 04:56 AM) It'd be awesome if Granderson walks off his old team. You know that Granderson's last (and maybe his only) walk off homer was the last week of 2005 vs the Sox?

Another reason to root against the Tigers. Yep, still a tie game and in this park, you know it's very unlikely to go deep into the night. And the thing is even if the Tigers lose tonight, you still aren't in horrible shape this series. No reason to act like you're the Nationals and Drew Storen just ended your season.

October 14, 201213 yr Everyone but Jim Leyland saw that coming apparently. Hahahaha. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

There is absolutely no way he comes out next save opp. Although Benoit & Dotel can't be giving much confidence to Tigers fans. Maybe Albequerque(sp)?
October 14, 201213 yr Big half inning here. If the Yankees can score now, then no Cabrera/Fielder until tomorrow.

October 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 13, 2012 -> 11:21 PM) Albuquerque's a little too wild. I think Dotel is the best bet. Albuquerque has better stuff, but I agree Dotel is safer. Benoit seems to have lost it.
October 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 13, 2012 -> 11:25 PM) Albuquerque has better stuff, but I agree Dotel is safer. Benoit seems to have lost it. Benoit's way too prone to home runs. You just can't have that as a closer.
October 14, 201213 yr Why can't they have the virtual strike zone for every game? I hate it when they have to go replay for a strike zone overlay. This is so much easier.

October 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 05:44 AM) God damn it Swisher. Ichiro should be in right. Yep, Swisher cost them a run earlier in the game when he didn't dive for a ball that landed a few feet in front of him.
October 14, 201213 yr Nick Swisher sucks and Jeter's lack of range probably ends up hurting the Yankees here.
