so, how about them Tigers?!?

They certainly feasted on indians this season.

3 game series now! Go Tigers!

And then there was two...Go Sox!!!!

Save for a miraculous gift in game 4 Verlander never even gets the chance. A's lost that more then the Tigers won it. No worries, I'll be rooting for the Tigers over the Red Sox.

MLB would institute a hard cap if they cared about competitive balance, but they don't want the Marlins, A's, KC's of the world to be in the fall classic when they could keep their NE cronies' pockets lined. If you got Bud Selig drunk on HB, he'd tell you that's also the reason the A's have a stadium deal in place in SJ, but can't get the red tape cleared for it to go forward.

Sour grapes from an A's fan...I admit it. But hats off to Verlander's game 5, that's why he makes the big bucks...and best of luck going forward, but I wouldn't bet on it. Boston's payroll is #4 and Detroits is only #5

Edit: PS PP, it's not the A's' fault your tv sucks.

You do realize the poor teams get huge checks from revenue sharing and they pocket it. The Twins are owned by one of the richest owners in baseball and he just wants the money. Did you see the money the Astros made?

Here check it out. Now tell me thats Bud lining pockets?

The Rays and A's have been in it the last few years and just can't get it done.

Also they redid the draft to stop the big spenders from "stealing" college kids.

^ OT. I realize all that. I was talking about competitive balance. The A's had almost triple the payroll as the Stros in that list. They also have a stadium deal fully funded and rubberstamped that Selig himself has dragged is feet on for the better part of a decade and is currently being sued by the city of SJ over.
But alas this is about the Tigers...Big game tonight...will Sherzer repeat his game two performance? Will he get run support? I'm predicting a game 7.

Definitely a 7 game series. Go Tigers!

Sox do have an amazing game 6 record. Id like to see it end tonight. Having to beat Verlander is playing with fire even though he has ok alcs career numbers. i assume he will give up no more than 2 and Lackey cannot replicate his last start.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Let's go SOX!!!!!!!!!!

I hear ya on that. I would definitely like to see this end tonight. Game 7 against Verlander is extremely risky business, so lets end this tonight Red Sox Nation!

You're a good man..

I'm pulling for the Tigers. Damned FOX down here is not carrying the game for some reason.

If you were rooting for the Redsox, I'm sure it would be on TV. Let's go Sox!!!

I can't even find a streaming version of it. Gad. I'd root for the Sox if the Tigers weren't in it. I do like the Sox, but I grew up with the Tigers and I've always followed them.

Never laughed so hard. How could a kid who grew up in baseball be such a bad base runner. Not that I'm complaining!!

Victorino must have read our posts! haha

Just another Tiger laying in the dirt. That was pretty funny, especially watching his teammates ignoring him in the dougout and his dazed expression.

I laughed so hard when that happened. Might have to post some more about the games if it means clutch grand slams!
