OT - ALCS game 3 open thread. JV on the mound
October 16th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
Tigers win it. Little surprised that they were this dominant, didn't expect them to go up 3-0 in this series when it first started. A sweep is very likely.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 16th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
FUCKING GOT HIM
October 16th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
What a pitch man. Hell of a ballsy throw.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
win away from the WS.
Is Fister pitching tomorrow?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
October 16th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
Scherzer, right?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
October 16th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
Whew. Hey, I guess a little excitement is fun right? Right?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
I want game four to be a 10-0 blowout.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:41 PM ^
Would you like to be a little more specific with that request?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:47 PM ^
Scherzer pitches 8 with 10 K. Cabera and Prince hit back-to-back. Cabera with a 3 RBI night and i don't care where the other 6 runs come from. Benoit actually looks ok tomorrow in the 9th.
October 17th, 2012 at 10:30 AM ^
I was alluding to the fact that you didn't say who you wanted to win.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
October 16th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
Perfect managing by Leyland. Jv struggled against Ichiro most, and he brings in a lefty,Coke, to face lefties.
Who wants to get a coke after the game?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
Hey bros, no one understands the "one more strike" meme than Texas 2011...imagine being a ranger fan watching game 6.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
Coke executed those last two outs just how Valverde drew it up.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
FUCK YES
Balls of steel for Coke. I love it. October pitching. Win-win for me tomorrow, as I have Game 5 tix. Either the brooms come out or I get the chance to see a pennant-clincher.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:41 PM ^
What happens if we clinch tomorrow with your tickets? Are you automatically refunded?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:44 PM ^
he gets a refund
October 16th, 2012 at 11:45 PM ^
I think that's a yes, but I can't say for sure cause I got them from someone else.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
Man those Yankee hitters do not waste pitches. Lots of good at bats from them tonight.
My boy Phil Coke seems to like the closer role...gets off on the energy. Maybe that is his true calling, cause he blows in short relief.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
October 16th, 2012 at 11:41 PM ^
Man I hated Coke as a starter, but I dig the attitude as a closer.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:41 PM ^
Damn that was a nervous ending to the 9th.
Need to close the series out in Detroit. Tomorrow isn't a given; Scherzer v. Sabathia.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:42 PM ^
Hopefully the big bats come alive tomorrow as we have been pretty dormat all postseason. Would be a great time to come alive.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:44 PM ^
We traditionally hit CC well, both when he was in dumptown and NY. Max has been good against NY. Bottom line is, we need to score RUNS tomorrow and avoid this drama.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:45 PM ^
October 17th, 2012 at 12:07 AM ^
enjoyed the ninth inning a great deal.
EDIT: How about Delmon Young, eh?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
October 16th, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
Does Coke dye his goatee red?
October 16th, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
I think Coke wanted to punch him a few times.
October 16th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
the clutch hits hits going, that game shouldn't have been a 2 run game going into the 9th.
Scherzer, Fister in the next two and Verlander set for 7, just no excuse for the Tigers to not close this out.
October 17th, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
I think we all remember what happened last time we were up 3-0 in the ALCS...
October 17th, 2012 at 12:36 AM ^
October 17th, 2012 at 12:05 AM ^
October 17th, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
Look, I want to win tomorrow with the bats coming alive against Sabathia, I do. But I also remember what a long layoff did to us last time and I also think the NLCS could go 7 games. I won't be that upset if we give up a game here. Our starting pitching is just fantastic right now. I'm worried about a long layoff, I'll say it.
October 17th, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Fuck that, let's finish this shit off tomorrow night.
October 17th, 2012 at 6:59 AM ^
The "last time" was six years ago. Is that relevant today? I'm not sure.
October 17th, 2012 at 12:15 PM ^
I can definitely see where youre coming from however it is a fine line to walk. I'm not sure how much a layoff affects teams in baseball as opposed to more cooperative, timing based sports such as football or basketball (not to say baseball doesn't include teamwork or timing as well, just not to same degree in terms of play calls, passing the ball, everyone being in unison etc).
October 17th, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
We should all enjoy every game that JV pitches..Pitchers like him only come every so often and it just so happens that he plays for MY TIGERS
October 17th, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
awesome game last night
awesome morning for me --got 4 tickets to game 4 of the world series
