Tigers vs. yankees ALCS Game Thread 1 Oct. 13

[manchild98]

Going to extra innings sucks, but this may be a blessing in disguise if it's serious

If we win it very well may be. You pitched pretty much everyone so a lot of those guys got rid of their nerves. Plus you punched them in the stomach emotionally after that comeback....and Jeter is probably done.

yankees left the backup shortstop nunez off the roster,

Listen to these TBS announcers... Holy Hawk Harrelson Homerish....

homers

 

[gotime909]

2 hits misplayed by outfielders.....Delmon has some luck today.

>

 

[manchild98]

Its Al Al closing 2 runs should be good lmao.

The only home run he has ever given up was a grand slam here in the playoffs last year.

More we need more...

Jeter, the guy is a top notch class act and has Michigan ties, I can't ever dislike him

If we can pull this off, it's probably a blessing because Valverde is sure to lose the 9th inning job, and that means he won't cost us again.

This guy has a messed up strike zone

 

[kalinecountry]

if Yanks have to de-activate Jeter for this series, they'd also lose him for World Series.

might be either hyper extended knee or MCL.

So Dotel for the rest of the series? He probably has the most experience if nothing else, I doubt he'd crack as a closer.

Smyly grabbing his glove....must be staying in.

Yeah even though he's a Yankee I've never been able to hate on him. He plays hard, is a good leader and makes big plays in big games.

Smyly to Chavez, the Al Al.

 

[pr0tege]

I say we give Al Al a shot depending that is on how he closes this game tonight.

Na just watch he will be out there next game if they have a 4 or less run lead.

Win or lose here, blessing in disguise or not, I still don't want to see Papa Fastball in a Tiger Uniform next year.

I thought hip the way he landed.

I may not survive a 7 game series of this.

He's been a closer before, so he should adapt well, and would be the logical choice.
