10-01-11--DETROIT VS NY YANKEES--8:37 PM (Game 1 ALDS-2nd try)

[TigerFan1984]

wow 6-0 Tampa

[will the thrill]

My dad is flying into town Friday, hopefully in time for us to go to the game. I'm in enemy territory!

side note, the funniest thing about Bill Simmons 162 run down was saying he had his dad flying in so they could watch the playoffs together.

[Jeff6851]

6-0 Rays

[Titus Tiger]

This one of the few times I think a couple threads --- for each post season game -- might be appropriate, but glad people have accepted this thread to discussion baseball

Kelly Shoppach --- man how many ex-Indians are in post season

[T&P_Fan]

Moore has good stuff.

[MC24]

Moore is making these professional hitters look like little league players...

But if any team can erase a 6-0 deficit and do it quickly, it's the Rangers.

[Jeff6851]

Good thing we didn't get home field ;)

... with the Rangers at home, but I am guessing Matt Moore is on a short leash

[Kdoogie24]

A 6 pack, on a Friday? Go big or go home bro. It's the ****ing catalina wine mixer.

I "lol'ed"

[Jeff6851]

Also, I'm still afraid of the Twins

[Cecil]

The Twins suck. Since Bill Smith took over they've been collapsing faster than the Metrodome roof.

[Shelton]

Metrodome roof looked nice on Sunday.

[Cecil]

Metronome roof looked nice on Sunday.

and the home team underneath it has collapsed 3 times now.

[Shelton]

Yep. But the roof looked good.

[Jeff6851]

The only teams I won't be able to accept losing to this year are the Yankees and Cardinals

[tananarama]

Seriously, the cardinals, I hope we get them in the WS so we can destroy them.

[Jeff6851]

Careful what you wish for. I'm not going through it here again

[lindsay28]

The only teams I won't be able to accept losing to this year are the Yankees and Cardinals

For me it's the Yankees, Cardinals, and Phillies.

[IdahoBert]

I can hear the Rangers fans saying, "Why can we never hit guy's we've never seen before?" 8-0 Rays.

[Cecil]

The only teams I won't accept losing to are the Yankees, Rays, Rangers, Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals, and Diamondbacks. They're all bastards.

[Shelton]

I can hear the Rangers fans saying, "Why can we never hit guy's we've never seen before?" 8-0 Rays.

They probably never a get a guy in from third with fewer than two outs, either.

[Sports_Freak]

I think we lose tonight and lose the series in 4.

I just don't trust or have faith in Scherzer and Porcello.

So, Verlander wins 2 and Fister wins 1. But everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if others don't agree with it.

[lindsay28]

They probably never a get a guy in from third with fewer than two outs, either.

"The Rangers threaten but do not score here in the [insert inning here]."

[lindsay28]

I have a feeling that tonight isn't going to be the pitching duel that everyone is expecting. But if it is, here's to hoping it's one-sided in favor of Verlander.

[Sports_Freak]

The only teams I won't accept losing to are the Yankees, Rays, Rangers, Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals, and Diamondbacks. They're all bastards.

With Tampa putting a whipping on the Rangers in game 1, if they can somehow win 2 of 4 and the Tigers can somehow beat N.Y., we'll have HFA in the ALCS. How sweet would that be?

[Sports_Freak]

I have a feeling that tonight isn't going to be the pitching duel that everyone is expecting. But if it is, here's to hoping it's one-sided in favor of Verlander.

Yes! What would be better than one of Verlander's "special" games?

[will the thrill]

I have a feeling that tonight isn't going to be the pitching duel that everyone is expecting. But if it is, here's to hoping it's one-sided in favor of Verlander.

I think both teams will score 3-4 early, then it'll depend on which starter settles down from the 3-7th innings.

[IdahoBert]

Watt shoe talkin' 'bout Willis?

[FloridaTigers]

This blowout needs to end already.

[IdahoBert]

[Cecil]

I'm tired about hearing can the rest of the Tigers rotation step up as if the Yankees have a deep rotation after Sabathia.

[robgrave]

Looks like it's going to be a wet night in NYC.

[IdahoBert]

Hope no one uses pine tar tonight.

[toadhunter911]

I think we lose tonight and lose the series in 4.

I just don't trust or have faith in Scherzer and Porcello.

Have you said anything positive all season? Must suck to have such a gloomy outlook all the time...

[IdahoBert]

We're going to win it all or I wouldn't have already created a game thread for each possible game.

[lindsay28]

I can't believe Maddon had Moore pitch Game 1 instead of James Shields. This is making him look like a genius (which he is, obviously).

[Charlie1]

Verlander should establish boundaries tonight, by drilling the first Yankee hitter.

[Charlie1]

Hope no one uses pine tar tonight.

I hope the managers don't go "touchey-feelie" like in the 2006 World Series, either.

[IdahoBert]

I'm glad the Tigers didn't face Moore in this first game.

[TigersSlappy]

I hope the managers don't go "touchey-feelie" like in the 2006 World Series, either.

Yeah, none of that Magic/Isiah crap.....Smokey ought to go out and blow a big cloud in Girardi's face.
