I wish. I was up until almost 2 AM last night. DVR'd the Tigers and Lions on MNF. Huge dissappointment at the end of that 11 inning game.

It seems you get my point. My digs are as irrelevant to this thread as yours.

I've DVR'd all the episodes so far but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I too am a SF guy.

He came back out and was walked without swinging the bat. He came out later and lined an out into left-center. He didn't seem to be in pain. I'm hoping he's ok going forward.

That all said, Tigers Win!!!

No offense intended, but realistically that's the likely outcome.

Good game 2 so far. If anyone thought the ump was short changing verlander in the strike box on game 1, the umps have made sure to make it up to the tigers in game 2. Some bad balls called as strikes at important times have helped the tigers.

Walk off Grand Slam!!! That was one heck of a game!

icehog3 · 10-10-2011, 10:54 PM

No clutch hits for the Tigers, lots of chances with big bats up...and nothing.

Cruz has been a monster.

It ain't over....but it ain't good.

RRocket · 10-11-2011, 02:35 PM

^^Hey! What's wrong with hookers??

As a big Tiger fan, I'm truly disappointed the team as a whole hasn't really shown up in the play-offs. Especially the big guns. Guys like Rayburn and Santiago out hitting Cabrera and V-Mart is pathetic. Verlander struggling. Heck, Porcello's WHIP, BB and hits allowed is better than Verlanders during the last 2 series.

And Leyland's continued corn-ball decisions continue to mystify. Seriously....Perry hadn't instilled any confidence during the regular season. Why put him on the roster at all? So he brings him in after Valverde struggled. I knew what was going to happen. As soon as Perry trotted out, I said "This game is over". And I was right. Perry has struggled in non pressure appearances. Did anyone really think he'd shine with a play-off game on the line?

I know I'm being harsh...but geez. The Tigers are a better team than this (I thought, anyways). I wish Leyland had been let go, honestly. He's NEVER had a sense of urgency about any game, has shown he can choke in key games down the stretch and eventually that lackadaisical attitude permeates to the players. I have never been a Leyland fan since he quit on the Marlins in 1998, then quit again with the Rockies. Once a quitter......

Go Tigers....but I'm not terribly hopeful after the overall poor showing of this team...

This. Absolutely.

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.

It's a baseball game...can't we all just get along?

Great pitching match-up coming up tonight. Lewis is 4-0 in the playoffs and coming off of a good pitching performance against the rays. Fister pitched a great game against the Yankees in game 5 and finished the season 4-0 with a .98 ERA at home. Going to be a fun one to watch.

And since I'll be watching CBS tonight, instead of trying to see Terra Nova and House, you can play 'til Wednesday if you want.

If it was the Yankees and the Rangers, I would be watching Terra Nova reruns if need be.

And I don't even know what Terra Nova is.

Were I to be watching Yanks/Rangers, I'd likely have seen what I saw last night . . . too many men left on base, and a possible win pi$$ed away.

And Terra Nova is a decent new SF show about human settlers in a parallel world with dinosaurs, 85 million years in the past. It's too soon to know if it will be classic, but it beats watching another "reality" program . . . or two teams I don't care about.

icehog3 · 10-12-2011, 01:11 AM

Glad to see Victor swing hard after the "injury".

Also glad to see see him, Cabrera, Peralta and even Jackson making some contact. If Porcello can give us a good outing and the bats keep cracking, maybe Verlander will be pitching for the 3-2 lead.

What he said, plus I hope the weather holds out. As of now Verlander could be getting rain AGAIN.

Both Delmon Youn and Victor Martinez are in the starting lineup for Game 4.
