Four-for-four for five-gamers.
What a great day of baseball.
I will never say this at any point in my lifetime.
With no one on base, that would have to have been one impressive HR.
And now neither Verlander nor Sabathia will start Game One of the LCS.
Santana at his best felt way more untouchable than Verlander to me. It may just be chronological proximity to Pedro & Randy, so I thought pitcher dominance was greater. It might have to do with sheer appearance -- Santana's shortarm motion, etc. But I also think it's true that Santana, at his best, was better than Verlander has been so far. Santana's best ERA+ was 10 points better than Verlander's, and he was obviously the best pitcher in the league for three consecutive seasons. He also K'd more dudes.
Cano was total garbage too.
Until it's tied.

Eric Chavez does love losing division series. That's something A-Rod doesn't bring to the table.
Nevermind.
I can't explain it, but I just don't like the Tigers at all.
Nice job Justin.
I'm the same way. I love Comerica, the fans there are great, I always feel like I should be cheering for the Tigers in the postseason. Then I start watching the games, and I just can't do it.
Good shot of Dave Dombrowski, GM of the Detroit Tigers and ####### rich dad from an 80s teen movie.
Felix '09-'10: 244 IP per, 172 ERA+, 1.096 WHIP, 8.3 K/9, 3.18 K/BB, .6 HR/9
Kershaw '11-'12: 230 IP per, 156 ERA+, 1.00 WHIP, 9.3 K/9, 4.08 K/BB, 0.6 HR/9
So, yeah, if Verlander didn't have the whole throw 100 when I feel like it thing he wouldn't be as big a deal.
Come on Justin, three more outs!
What? No, YOU'RE in denial!
Then I start watching the games, and I just can't do it.
Is it the Delmon Young? I apologize for that, I really wish I could do something about it.
It's well within a normal pitch count for him. And I doubt anyone in the pen is as good a bet to get the outs.
Yes. The only way a WC can ever have home field advantage is for a.) the play-in game against the other WC, or b.) the World Series.
I'd say the Tigers are in trouble, but the Yankees and O's have looked like dog ####.
Condolences to all the great As fans here and congratulations on a wonderful season.
And the Tigers are dangerous. It doesn't matter who wins the AL East showdown, the Tigers will be tough. Congrats to them and their fans.
Next game:

I love baseball.
Unfortunately, there's now a pretty good chance that the "wrong" team will win all four Division Series. At that point, I'd be left rooting for... man, I don't even know. I guess the Tigers and the Giants? Something like a Yankees-Cardinals World Series would be such a gigantic letdown after all of the excitement of the pennant races and the DSes. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Due to the fact that there would be travel considerations had Oakland won.
They want to make sure innings 10+ are in prime time.
Anyway, congratulations to Oakland on a great and surprising season. I hope you win the AL West many years in a row. Now let's go, Tigers!
Congrats to the Tigers fans here. Well, not RMc, that guy is an idiot, but Walewander, Vaux, Cooper et al., best of luck in the ALCS, doubly so if you play the Yankees.
After the final out, the fans really tried to show their appreciation to the players, and I'm proud to have been a part of it, and to be part of a fanbase that can appreciate and recognize a season like this. This was the ultimate "gravy" season, and even though it didn't end in a World Series, it'll probably still go down as one of the best for me.
Here's a link to a video I took of the chanting after the final out.
As a Tigers fan, I am happy the Orioles extended to gane 5. Keeps the No 1 starter from both teams away from the Tigers for game 1. Also seems to give the Tigers a real advantage, as Game 1 is tomorrow. How does that work for traveling? Seems a bit confusing, though I like that it keeps baseball in the spotlight.
