OT: Detroit Tigers 10/6; 5pm

Submitted by MGoBlue22 on
As most of you are aware, it's come down to a one game playoff against the Twins. Rick Porcello (14-9) is going up against Scott Baker (15-9). I have to believe that Leyland will have the boys fired up to play, but I'd feel more confident if the game wasn't being played inside the Metrodome. Any predictions on the score? My guess is 7-1 Tigers, with Cabrera going 3 for 4. EDIT: Does anyone else think it was dumb of MLB to schedule the game at 5pm? I understand the impending travel schedule of the winner, but I'm going to miss the first few innings due to work.

This is ridiculous. It has more turns than a circa 1990s WWF title match. I half expect Adam Everett to rip off his Tigers jersey to reveal a Twins one, then Kirk Gibson runs out of the dugout and hits a homer to win it for the Tigers

This is crazier than an episode of the Hills, which I watch regularly, with my buddy House (my wife rolls her eyes because she wants to watch Desperate Housewives). Meanwhile, my dad calls me complaining about the Celtics again while I read and email about how some guy's dog looks like Kevin Garnett. These are my readers!

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Are a bunch of people watching this game at BDubs and the ump is prolonging the game because they don't want to leave?

My new nickname for Laird is going to be "Groundhog Day" since the same, terrible, depressing thing happens everytime he comes up and it makes me want to kill myself in hilarious ways

That should end Jim Leyland's tenure as Tigers manager. There's just no excuse to not get a run in when you have runners at 2nd and 3rd and NOBODY out. It shows a complete lack of a gameplan. Leyland is a clueless, senile old fool who needs to be put out to pasture.

Leyland is like that guy in the joke who's drowning and keeps ignoring people's help because he says God will save him. God sent him Aubrey Huff getting hit by a pitch and Don Kelly (DON FREAKING KELLY) scoring a go-ahead run, Alex Avila and the bunt and Leyland ignored them all
