OT: Two Incredible collapses in one night

[chaddurbin]

we had the $100,000 infield with the philly a's...will we see a $100 million infield with the yankees?

don't worry yankees fans...if fat cc leaves and you got no pitching just throw 200mil at fat prince fielder and move the rf fence in another 50 feet. problem solved.

Jeff-I meant getting to the ALCS or World Series, not winning it. I would have thought that the Phillies were a lock for that but they are skating on thin ice with the Cards. Carpenter can easily throw a shutout.

[yanks12025]

I wasnt wrong about everything. I said we would go top game 5 and we did.

But I think its funny how people are saying Mo will be a problem next year. The guy is 41 and posted a 1.91 ERA with 44 saves. I think those stats wont change too much next year. Jeter still batted in the .290's. With Posada gone, I'm not worried about age that much.

Also i guess you guys dont know that the Yankees have like 3 top starters in the minors almost ready to be brought up.

I hope so! We (St. Louis) are probably gonna need it against Halliday. My nerves are starting to rattle...

[calvindog]

Jay, I wish you were right about Carpenter but Halladay in Philly? Good luck with that!

Brock, minor league pitchers are minor league pitchers. Maybe one will be in the rotation next year. And you were deadly wrong about the Yankees' starting pitching which did them in. Nova was inconsistent, CC was worse than Verlander, etc. The Yankees just aren't there. What happens next year when ARod has another bad year? And Jeter continues to not be the star he once was? As for Mo, I agree with you -- the dude is still stellar. I think he's got at least one more good year in him, maybe two. He's a freak and I think he'll retire with 700 saves.

[yanks12025]

A-rod could have a lot better season next year. He was injured this year and could get healthy once again.

[yanks12025]

Calvin,

Your making it sound like the Tigers pitching was 100 times better than the Yankees and that they threw shut-outs every game. Verlander wasn't that great like he was in the regular season, nor was fister. So don't make it sound like the Yankees rotation was horrible when they weren't that bad.

Who said they were 100x better? I just said they were better -- and I was right. Which is why they won.

Or his body is starting to wear down which is typical of someone his age.

El Birdos!!!!!!!!!
Could this be shades of 1968, Cards and Tigers?
Forget the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, etc.
These ALDS games were fantastic and I hope the ALCS series' will be just as good.

You said a mouthful!!

[pitchernut]

may not stand a chance but go Brewers, love to see a team that has never won a world series go for it against the Tigers.

Prince isn't fat, he's big celled.
