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.

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

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.

If you're a Yankee fan, tonight's result has to take some of the sting out LOLOL. Unreal that the Phillies lost in the first round. Justice is served by the baseball gods.

Or, even 2006 when the Cards and the Tigers squared off in the Fall Classic.

Love to see the top 3 payrolls (sox / yanks / phils) all out of the playoffs. Rangers over Brewers is my call.

Hey Ted, I missed whatever it was.

Years ago I considered myself on top of baseball. Any day I could rattle off the top 10 players in each league in batting average, hits, home runs, stolen bases, usually RBI's, wins, ERA... most days I had the announced pitchers in my head. I let go of some of that while in college, and eventually most of it after having kids...

Today, I have a clue as to a thimblefull of what's happening in the National League. And if I figure out anything about the AL, it's because I occasionally keep tabs on Tim Wakefield at Boston, maybe I hear something on the radio as I drive along, or I hear what the announcers have to say during the playoffs...

I know who A-Rod is, and Jeter. And I could have guessed that Cano was a second baseman. But after listening to the announcers talk about Robinson Cano I'm astonished that the Yankees didn't win the ALDS, and on to a WS victory. Had the Tiger pitchers listened to it, they'd have intentionally walked him every time he came to bat, even if the bases were loaded... It sure seemed to me that either there was a ton of NY bias, or that the announcers were pandering to the NY fans. Maybe I just took it the wrong way; anyone else perceive undue and excessive NY hype?

Ooops, forgot about that one I was thinking about Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Roger Maris and the El Birdos and company facing Mickey Lolich, Denny McClain, Al Kaline and the boys who saved a city.

That was a heck of a play by Furcal. He still has a cannon.
