Anyone know the last time all 4 division series went 5 games?
League Championship Series (ALCS and NLCS)
The winners of the Division Series then advance to the best-of-seven American League and National League Championship Series. The team with the best record of the remaining teams will have home-field advantage. In the event that a wild-card team has the better record than the other qualifying team that is a division champion, the division champion still gets the advantage and hosts Games 1, 2, 6 and 7.
They just said it never happened before.

I love you.
That would have Scherzer pitching on 3 days reast, so not likely. I would guess Sanchez for game 2, Verlander game 3, Scherzer game 4, then Fister, Sanchez, and Verlander.

He has oral cancer and chemo dries out his mouth so he has to suck on mints.

That was before your ninja edit, you were just dogging "Mr. Triple Crown".
I call em how I see's em. sorry if you don't like that. He was too aggressive in this series swinging at too many pitchers pitches. I suspect he'll have a much better series against the spanks.

Verlander also set a record for strikeouts in the ALDS with 22.

There are few people in this league, and we're fortunate to have 2, that you don't question. Ever. He's freakin' Miguel.

Agreed, I will never dog Miggy or JV. For people to question them is ridiculous.
when he acts like Delmon he'll be called out. nobody gets a free pass.. the offense struggles on a regular interval and he's better than that! it's not about questioning it's about not giving anything away.. I don't like seeing Miggy give away AB's.. when he's not doing that he wins triple crowns!

Starting pitching is the reason the Tigers made the playoffs and the reason they made it through the first round. The quartet of Verlander, Doug Fister, Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer posted a combined ERA of 1.30 and 41/10 strikeout/walk ratio in 34 2/3 innings in the five-game series.
