ALDS: Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees

Recommended Posts

I think the Yankees will win this series in 4, but the Farnsworth aspect is worth noting. I don't think he will cost them this series, but it'll happen in the next round against whomever.

 

Any team that has both A-Rod and Farnsworth is doomed come playoff time.

If you want a successful A-Rod, try making him happy you ungrateful Yankee fans. Alexander has feelings, you know.

Well, that's not directed at me, since I'm an A-Rod supporter. No sense in boo'ing him...it just freaks him out worse.

 

At his best, a WS will be won, with his bat.

the tigers are being discarded because they are absolutely awful over the past two months. but they do have the weapons to win. outside of rivera, i have no faith in the yankees pitching. nor do i have any in the tigers. it'll come down to that.

Going by what happened during the season, other than the two games Rivera didn't close out, the Yankees won all the games against the Tigers. Neither side has pitching with a clear cut advantage over the other, but the Yankee offense does over the Tiger offense.

yanks bats have been known to fall asleep around this time of the year. but really, they do have the better offense. but if their pitching stinks, they'll lose.

I'm pulling for the Tigers. Not because they're playing the Yankees, but because I'm a sucker for the "worst to first" teams. Likewise, the Clippers.

Playing Detroit is way better draw than Oakland or the Twins, I think. Yankees in 3, but what the hell do I know? What the hell does anyone know? Its playoff baseball.

Detroit has the arms(as evidenced by their being #1 in team E.R.A.) to beat the Yankees but the D needs to be more consistent and the hitters have to have more patience at the plate especially against somebody like Wang.

I'll pick and hope for the Yankees in five, just because we'll be subjected to a relentless deluge of articles about A-Rod and Abreu's chokery for six months if they get knocked out in the first round.
