Revised Yankees rotation:

1 Andy Pettitte
2 Hiroki Kuroda (short rest)
3 Phil Hughes
4 CC Sabathia
5 Andy Pettitte
6 Hiroki Kuroda
7 CC Sabathia (short rest)

 

[DrKlahn]

Kuroda has never started a game on short rest, at least not in America.

 

[DrKlahn]

Massively eff up a call in the NL Wild Card game--get invited to work the ALCS.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Pitcher who can't find the strike zone. Bases loaded.

ARod grounds out on the first pitch.

 

[rhfarmer]

I can't remember what thread it was, but someone was talking about Lamb being a basketball surname. Now whenever I see Fister, well...

 

[DrKlahn]

Yankees have the Tigers in their kind of game right now.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Tigers like to strand guys on 3rd with no outs. I think they do it over 80% of the time.

 

[DrKlahn]

In the old Yankee Stadium goombahs would have murdered each other to get that ball.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Jim Leyland, a genius, will take out Fister, who just struck out the side, for Phil Coke, whom righties are hitting .400 against this season.

 

[ZackM]

Time for some Coke!

 

[bfactor]

Line drive there. That pitch might as well have been teed up for him.

Line drive there. That pitch might as well have been teed up for him.

Most career post season homeruns in Tiger's history...at 6.

 

[ZackM]

Tigers pwning.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Tigers need about 8 more runs to Valverde-proof the game.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Benoit and Valverde are being paid $15 million to be able to get 5 outs before giving up 4 runs. Fail.

 

[bfactor]

What a great job by Jackson to run that one down.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Half the stadium is empty with Jose Valverde coming out for the bottom of the 9th. Do the Yankee fans not know who Jose Valverde is?

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Valverde's career is over. Unfortunately it had to end DURING a playoff series.

 

[aiw]

Valverde is on the take
