A little late to the party, but I think they have earned their own thread, instead of us going and poking the sleeping bear in the NYY thread. :)

Basing its report on FBI statistics, Forbes has just released its list of the most violent cities in America. With 1,111 violent crimes per 100,000 people, Detroit once more tops the list at No. 1.
If the Tigers have any further success, or even if they fail, their fans are likely to burn that bandwagon in the streets. :r

Need Fister to have a huge game. I think Nova has been the best pitcher of the series so it is going to be tough.

Yes it is, and I'm glad for that. Mo needs some rest after throwing 3 pitches back in Game One, and I want him ready if the chance comes to slam the door. ;)

Congrats to the Detroit Tigers. Awesome clutch pitching.Good luck the rest of the way.
:wo Go Tigers! Next up, the Texas Rangers.
Good series with the Yankees. Took it right to the end.
Congrats to Fister, Sherzer, Benoit, and Valverde (52/52).

Actually you're right Tom. Especially now, you might even want to closed that 2011 Yankee thread.

Honestly it was a great series. I was on the edge of my seat all night. Tons of fun to watch.

Blackhawks weren't playing, Game 5 all the way!
What a great game...Girardi's revolving bullpen almost worked. Great pitching by the Tigers, Valverde getting the Big 3 in the 9th was clutch.

Wow, the Tigers are getting a some Yankee and Anti-Yankee love.
:D
I think the TBS guys said that the Tigers are the first team to beat the Yankees in two playoff appearences in a row since the 1920s. Granted the last time was 2006, but since that was the Tigers' last trip, it is "consecutive".
They say to be the best you have to beat the best. While some may debate who was the best this season, the Yankees have been very good for many years. I'm glad we got past them and get to move on. It was a good series. Bring on the Rangers.

In all seriousness, the Rangers pitching needs to step it up a bit. The Tigers have some great hitters, and if Wilson pitches the way he did against the Rays, there's two games lost. It will be a great series. Could go either way.

Regardless of his double yesterday, Jackson has been pitiful all playoffs, almost an automatic K.
Avila needs to figure something out too.
Joe Buck and TF said they didn't think Young being out of the line-up was that bad with Raburn in. I disagree, especially in a hitter's park like the Rangers'.

You're right on. That said, Cabrera and Martinez need to be better as well.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young has been scratched from Detroit's lineup for Game 3 against Texas, manager Jim Leyland announced Tuesday.
Andy Dirks will replace Young.
Leyland said he does not know what Young's availability will be for the rest of the AL Championship Series

Isn't that what that (one specific) homeless guy is constantly chanting outside Comerica Park?
Fister pitched a gem last night.
Yeah he did. That's the kind of outing he's had 8 of 9 times after arriving in Detroit. His numbers were actually better than Verlander's for the last 6 weeks or so.
Both Delmon Youn and Victor Martinez are in the starting lineup for Game 4.

Crazy, but it turns out the Tigers' lack of timely hitting kills them again. They should have won that game before extra innings. Hopefully Verlander can keep hopes alive until the bats wake up.
