That's why I said score!!! Tigers beat us 6-4, 3-0(should have been 1-0 but ump blew a easy call) and 2-1 with final game being the only blow out. If the Yankee team even had hit alittle they would have easily taken the first three games. In game 1 they loaded the bases THREE times and didn't score once. Another team in that same spot would have scored runs and won that game. Game two they left more men on base and didn't get hits with runners in scoring position.

Game three Verlander had nothing(he even said it) and left pitches right over the plate, yet Yankee hitters did nothing but pop them up. When going good they normally kill the pitches he had thrown them.

Verlanders comment was made about the 9th and he let one hang and gave up a HR. Also, the Yankees starting pitching was fantastic even if the bats sucked. Cabrera and Fielder have had a sub-par post-season, but neither stay cold very long. The timing factor will be more of a hinderance for them, hopefully its a good series.

Also, you certainly can't disparage the heart that the Giants showed during their series, but I don't think they would have scored nearly as many runs as they did if the Card's defense hadn't fallen apart (particularly in game 7).

Verlander said at the end of the game he had nothing after the 4th inning and was just throwing balls in.
