Only one game today, Tigers v. Yankees at Yankee Stadium at 8:00PM Eastern. It’s Doug Fister for the Tigers and Andy Pettitte for the Yankees. Pettitte’s next win in the postseason will be his 20th, which is astonishing, but is also symbolic of the inflation in the number of postseason games since 1995 when the Division Series was added as a result of splitting the leagues into three divisions each. The leader before the new playoff series were adopted was Whitey Ford with 10 wins (the League Championship Series started in 1969).
The Tigers have Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera; the Yankees have the Rodriguez soap opera plus Jeter and Granderson and Swisher and Texeira and Cano.
So the Tigres are the only hope left in the post-season.
There certainly aren’t any other teams left that I like at all.
I won’t watch a single pitch of the NLCS, but the Cards are the very slightly lesser of two horrendous evils. We can at least admire Verlander and Cabrera, and you can’t say that about anybody on the other three teams.
I’m of the same feeling…It’s football season now
definately going for Detroit to win it all
That’s the best option for a dismal post-season.
It’s never football season.
