OT: Two Incredible collapses in one night

[jcmtiger]

Go Tigers, we got rid of that fat guy with a head smaller than his body.

Joe-The Tigers traded Valverde?

[jcmtiger]

Yanks12025 the Fat Boy CC with the Small head failed, he let the little hitters kick his butt. Verlander was great and you know it. I will be at the close out game tomorrow. Yanks go Home!!!!!

I wouldn't talk smack on either side, this series is far from over.

I thought Verlander was his typical self most of the game. I particularly liked the top of the 5th when JV struck out the side on 10 pitches. He didn't retain his focus the whole game however and the Yankees came close to making him pay like few teams can.

I believe Valverde is trying to give every Detroit fan a heart attack, enough already!

Good game, all things considered, I think Detroit did out pitch and hit the Yankees today.

Joe,
Continue being cocky just like your horrible closer in Jose. And you're right the Yankees will be going home but for Game 5 and the clincher.

[calvindog]

The series is going pretty much as I expected and wrote above. CC has not been great as of the end of the year and the Yankees' pitching is very inconsistent -- and pitching wins in the playoffs. To have their season dependent upon that POS Burnett really says it all.

I think if you go back and read your posts, you will see you are the "Cocky" one.

We'll see, anything can happen, but Tigers are in the drivers seat right now.

IMO, the series ends to night, and yes Brock has been the cocky one, but it's all in good fun.

[yanks12025]

How am I being the cocky one? I'm defending my team, while so called Yankee fans here give no support to their team and don't believe at all. I said before game one, that the Yankees would beat Fister while Joe said he'd kill the Yankees. And I was right, Fister flaked out after acouple innings.

You guys rag on C.C, but no one mentions how good he looked in the start of game 1 before it was called. No one mentions the fact that the ump last night gave C.C. nothing, while gave Verlander alot more calls. And the people on TBS even made mention of it.

A.J did beat the Tigers earlier in the year, but the Yankees bats will come to life tonight. If Jeter didnt choke last night or the day before we could have won.

Joe,
Nice clinching game huh. I hope you had fun. I told you we were going home for Game 5.

[calvindog]

Ahhh baseball. CC performed as per expectations, Verlander did, the rest of the Yankees' inconsistent starters did too. But then the worst of the bunch pitches 5+ innings of one run ball and completely defies every single fan and critic. Unreal.

PS -- it is kind of funny that expectations for starting pitchers are so low that a guy who pitches 5+ innings of one run ball is treated afterward like Sandy Koufax in the 65 World Series.

I had fun, but Tigers did not show up for the game, especially the hitters. Porcello pitched pretty well though.. Game 5 will give the networks more money.

Joe

[yanks12025]

Congrats Tigers,

Well that was trash. Sadly the Tigers didn't beat the Yankees, the Yankees beat the Yankees. We had our chances but failed every single time. At least I know the Tigers wont get past the Rangers.

Also MLB really needs to do something about the Umps, cause these strike zones this whole series was horrible.

[Kzoo]

Good night NY.....Yahtzee!!

[calvindog]

LOL comeon, the Yankees lost because ARod makes $30 million a year and should be batting eighth and the starting pitching isn't very good. They got what they deserved.

How we had chances every inning of the game to score a bunch of runs, the score should have been 6+. But no the yankee hitters let trash pitchers become Cy Young. And it didn't help that the Ump gave better pitches to the Tigers pitchers then the Yankees(look up the strike zone comparison between before teams).

Hope you enjoyed the close out game...

[jcmtiger]

It was kind of boring, Tigers did not show up, especially the hitters. Back to new york, more money for the networks.
