This is a microcosm of the last 3 years of Leyland's career.  He messes with shit that oughtn't be messed with, and he leaves things alone that are begging to be changed.  A t-ball coach could've seen that coming.

If the Tigers go on and blow this game these are the type of games that absolutely CRUSH a team's spirit.  You have it won and then some worthless fucking idiot absolutely hands them a gift.

I know I feel dong punched....I can only imagine how the players feel right now.  But Valverde's probably cracking open a cold one and getting something to eat right now.  His work if finished...he's fucked up yet another game and somebody else's hard work.

Nobody feels more shitty than Valverde himself. The real idiot here is Leyland for not realizing that valverde is obviously struggling lately and then continuing to put him in tough situations such as closing a playoff game. Its leylands stubborness that blew this and many, many others.

and yet people continue to give him such a long leash... the retort is always, "well the Tigers had only made the playoffs once since '84 before leyland, now they've been three times."

Sorry, but we have Dave Dombrowski and Illitch's wallet to thank for that, not leyland...

I know we don't do nicknames here, but since he is making millions of dollars to blow saves in the playoffs, am I allowed to call him "Val-merde" just once?  I promise I won't do it again, at least here.

F you Leyland! I think you are a nice guy and have some good qualities. I just don't see them. I am sorry.
