Fuck MLB for postponing yesterday's game when I had tickets and fuck my job for preventing me from going today. Of course it would be a legendary extra-innings win. FML.

interesting matchup tonight...

Lewis vs. Fister

Lewis has had MAJOR struggles this year against Detroit, but has established himself as one of the finest post-season pitchers in the league.

Fister had a great season, especially after being traded to Detroit and posting an ERA below 1.00 in Detroit. However, he has had some struggles this postseason.


Should be another great game. :toast

[DarkReign]

Tigers starters > Texas starters
Texas bullpen > Tigers bullpen barely
Texas bats >>>x10000 Tigers bats

This series is extremely frustrating to watch as a Tigers fan. The heart of the lineup has been complete shit this postseason.

Cabrera had one good game in the ALDS, Martinez had one big hit (also in the ALDS), Avila shouldnt even be playing, Ordonez is out, Young is injured, Peralta came back to earth and AutoOut Jackson can lick my sweaty balls if I ever see him.

Hell of a time to slump, guys. Right when the postseason starts, you fucking choke-artists.

If Cabrera, Martinez, Jackson and Avila hit 0.200 in the postseason, this wouldnt even be close.

Pathetic.

Congrats Texas, you are the better team, with the better, more clutch bats and deserve to to play in the World Series which you will most likely win, IMO.

Big fuck you to Austin Jackson, Cabrera and Martinez.

too soon to declare this over

a win by Detroit tonight can put some serious pressure on the Rangers, as I don't see CJ winning another duel against Verlander.

[JamStone]

Come on, Tigers, you fucking bitches. Get back in this series and stop being pussies at the plate. It's not like the Rangers hitters have bombed the pitchers. Miggy, if you have to dip into a bottle of scotch, then do it. Need some slump busters, I know a few skanks downtown. Get your pathetic asses up for this game, you sorry pieces of shit!

[Texas Chili Dog]

Michael Young is the person responsible for turning this game around in favor of the Tigers. Three straight hits to start the game, and a 1-0 lead with no outs. Young grounds into a DP to kill the momentum, and that was that.

Well fuck you Uehara. We're down by 3 instead of 1 because of you.

anytime any pressure is put on an asian pitcher, they choke like no other. remember that asian guy on the diamondbacks who almost choked away the series against the yankees? remember chan ho park after signing a big contract with big expectations? remember hideo nomo after his rookie year when he had expectations? remember every minute of hideki irabu's career?

of course in baltimore he'd perform well, then choke like a typical asian faggot once he was on a playoff team with title expectations.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Oh well. Can't win them all. An all around pitiful showing outside of the first inning.

[stretch]

Michael Young really needs to pull his head out of his ass.

The Rangers have got to win today. A loss today puts a LOT of pressure on them, as then they have to face Verlander in G5, pitch Holland ing G6, and face Fister in G7.

I still have faith they can and will win the series, but they don't need to put more pressure on themselves than they already have by losing last night.

[stretch]

and i hear Beltre is questionable today, due to his knee. ugh

[Axe Murderer]

i heard phillip is replacing him in the lineup. hopefully he steps it up

[stretch]

phillip is a dick

[stretch]

interesting matchup again tonight, particularly for Matt Harrison.

Harrison has done poor in his career against Detroit, a 1-4 record with a 6.89 ERA. But this year, he is an exponentially better pitcher on the road, and especially during the daytime.

On the other hand, Porcello did well in his start against the Rangers this year, but has not been a very good pitcher overall. He is a very poor pitcher at home with a 5.64 ERA. Porcello has done very poorly against lefties as well, so the Rangers definitely need to bring in Murphy. Also after doing well last night, I think Torrealba should get another start, and possibly DH Beltre if his knee is bugging him a lot.

[stretch]

well, just heard that Beltre feels good enough to go at 3rd, so he will be out there, Young at 1st, and Torrealba will be DHing. Murph at LF.

[DarkReign]

Dont count on the game being played tonight...or tomorrow.

Rain, rain and more rain.

Dont know how the MLB is going to deal with this.

[DarkReign]

exactly why you had no reason to start whining already, series isnt over yet, momentum is right back in detroits hands.

I have an uncanny ability to bitch and moan about a player or players and remarkably, coincidentally they decide to show up the next game.

Mostly Red Wings related, but its almost uncanny.

While I still doubt the Tigers bats, increasingly getting worse as injuries mount, Cabrera is an easy one to "call out" seeing as he is the best right-hander in the game.

But my "AutoOut Jackson" comment, followed by a 3-5 performance against (of all things) a RHP seems to have kept the trend. This, IMO, was the difference in this game. The leadoff man was actually a threat to get on base (holy shit...).

Regardless, IMO, Tigers have no chance to win the series unless they take all 3 games at home. Going to back to Arlington with Texas up 3-2 is futile.

WTF was he thinking?

[Spursfan092120]

With the state of Detroit's offense and their health, Texas has enough to get by in this series.

Detroit's SP has been good but unless their offense makes an appearance, it's over.

Not so sure if the Rangers hot pitching will carry over into the World Series though. Let's not act like this series couldn't be 2-2..or even 3-1 Detroit right now

Could be...but it's not. It's the little things that win..the clutch, timely hits, and bullpen pitching that has won these games..and the same thing wins games in the World Series. When the two best teams in the league are playing in the WS, they're usually pretty close in talent, leaving it to those little things to win..and the Rangers are doing it.

Definitely felt like we were going to be on the short end of the stick in this game, and that would have sucked, being tied, with Verlander starting Game 5. But we stuck it out, and with Cruz's arm and Napoli and Cruz's bat, we finally got Valverde's number...loved to see us get the win with him on the mound.

[Kirk Nowitzki]

However, as good as Napoli, Genrty, and Beltre have been so far, Young, Cruz, and Hambone all need to step up. But I guess that's the beauty of the Rangers... there really isn't a truly weak link in the lineup. Cruz has probably been the weakest link; but we all know how deadly he can be. It would be really nice to wake him up, as it seems he frequently comes up to bat with guys on base, and just strikes the fuck out.

stretchstradamus tbh

[DarkReign]

Tigers are too injured to hang with the obviously better team in the Rangers.

No Boesch, no Avila, no Martinez, no Ordonez off the bench, no Young.

Just not enough in the lineup to hang with the very deep offense that Texas features.

I knew this series was over after the Tigers failed to get the split in Texas. That hasnt changed. Congrats Texas.

[DarkReign]

BTW, that was the absolute weakest attempt by a Cabrera trying to come home on the sac fly by Young. It was really pathetic to watch.

Just outa curiosity, why is there talk of Texas making Feliz a starter next year? Yeah he was shakier in the regular season this year than he was last year but he was still good and he's been great so far in the playoffs. It seems like a stupid gamble to make him a starter and replace him with at closer with someone who's untested in October.

I haven't heard anything from the organization on this, just fan speculation. But I think it's a dumb idea. He's a lockdown closer, and has publicly stated he would prefer to stay in that role. Keep him there. A trio of Ogando, Adams, and him to close out games is pretty damn scary.

Yeah in addition to his replacement not being a sure thing at all as the new closer he wouldn't be a sure thing as a starter. I don't know much about baseball but closer to starting pitcher actually seems like an extremely hard transition to make from a mental and physical standpoint.

And considering his array of pitches is about as versatile as a Mumford and Sons album, the closing role mos def suits him best. Just overpower hitters w/ his fastball, and be done with it.

As an aside, I was fucking THRILLED to see Young and Napoli finally get goin in this series. Hopefully, that double that Young hit wakes him up a bit. A tall order to keep it goin against Verlander, but we'll see. Young's a hitter. Always has been. The fact that he wasn't even LOOKING to bunt to advance the runner in front of him was simply more evidence of that.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Finish it tonight. 5 more to go!!

Cliff Lee l:loll

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Blue uniforms for tonight.

Blue uniforms for tonight.

guaranteed win

[Heath Ledger]

good luck with that guaranteed win thinking Verlander will lose at home with the Tigers backs against the wall

Cy Young..... and all.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Verlander shmerlander. Yankees had best record in AL. One pitcher against all of our bats. Leland said today that Benoit and Valverde are wiped out. We should close it out today. Either way, we're not losing 3 straight.

[Heath Ledger]

Just wait. Verlander is gonna bring fire tonight. I still expect the Tigers to lose the series though in 6.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Only thing on fire will be our bats. They're all waking up at the right time. Don't have too much faith in CJ though. Should be good either way. May the best Texas team win :toast.

yeah people thought that last year when the Rangers were facing David Price in Tampa for the clinching game, after Price had a bad 1st game against them.

[Heath Ledger]

Price ain't no Verlander. What an awful comparison. If Tigers lose tonight I won't post for a month.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Do all Cy Young winners win World Series's?

dumbass

point is, aces can be beaten. Verlander has been incredibly beatable so far in the postseason.

I wouldn't be suprised at all if Detroit wins, and they should. But I definitely won't count Texas out, as they have had no trouble beating aces in the postseason the past two years (except Lincecum, although they torched him in game 1, Lee just happened to get torched worse)

[Fpoonsie]

I'm sure your incessant sword-whoring'd be sorely missed.

Between the Hanzo Sword whoring and constant updates on his kid that nobody gives a shit about, I'm not sure how he has time to watch baseball.

Open with a double. Damn that fire is burning bright from the mound. Wow.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

White burning fire.

not a good start so far... a run and 2 doubles

[Fpoonsie]

Miiiiiiike!

Quick question: does Josh get credit for an RBI even though it was a sac-fly?

[stretch]

yes

[Fpoonsie]

Thanks.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Hold the phone. Did CJ win the Cy Young???? Just wonderin'.

[Bill_Brasky]

Good shit from CJ.

[Fpoonsie]

Hopefully, that early 1-0 lead is just what CJ needs to settle in early.

We'll see, I guess.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Here comes that white burning fire.

[Halberto]

This is going to be a tough game, Detroit is showing some energy.

[JayTheClown]

I thought Delmon Young was hurt. What happened to that shit?

[Veterinarian.]

Why the fuck does CJ let up so many homers?

good shit Hambone

TAKE THE GOD DAMN PITCH....WTF U MORONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[stretch]

how utterly unfortunate, but as long as CJ gets out of the 6th giving nothing up, I think the game definitely favors Texas from there on out

[stretch]

Amarelooms is incredibly annoying yet incredibly amusing at the same time. I can't decide whether he is more amusing or more of a pain in the ass to have to scroll past his posts and see 20 dancing elephants

[JayTheClown]

Atleast Verlander is over 100 pitches.

He is a number 3 pitcher at best. Sad thing is, he gonna want number 1 money.

Why do they keep putting this tool out there

[Bill_Brasky]

Lol koji

Wash has conceded this game. Lets close it in Texas on Sat.

[Dex]

I hope the Rangers are just trying to lull the Tigers into a false sense of security, cuz this thing got ugly real quick.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Nelly!!

[Axe Murderer]

:lol

it's funny how Verlander is getting worshipped by FOX/Detroit fans. He gave up the most runs out of any Detroit starter this series. Just so happened that they scored 7 runs

[Bill_Brasky]

Verlander is a machine. Good game for him, besides the 8th inning homer.

Wish we coulda limited that 6th inning damage a little more now...

[Viva Las Espuelas]

:lol

it's been a constant suckjob over him since he lost game 1. Cy Young blah blah blah.

[JamStone]

I agree that they suck on his cock too much, ESPN too. And he hasn't been lights out at all in the post season. But he just threw 99 and 100 after 130+ pitches. And he was trying to save the bullpen. He gave up 2 runs in 7 innings. Have to consider those facts.

Most of the cocksucking has to do with his exceptional regular season and the fact that he has the best pure stuff of any pitcher in the majors. But the cocksucking does have to stop. He's been less than stellar these playoffs. In fact, while he goes deeper into games, he's arguably been the Tigers third best starter behind Scherzer and Fister.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Wash is going for it

[JayTheClown]

Wash is going for it

How many games has Adams pitched in a row?

He has to. Would you mail this in knowing you had Holland and Colby starting the final 2 of the series?

Did anyone understand a word of that interview?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Ah well. Good game. In Texas, all those balls Detroit were catching by the wall would've been out. The field is smaller in Texas. Ain't skeered.

[Fpoonsie]

lol suggesting that D/FW is anywhere NEAR as shitty as Detroit
