Game One of the ALCS - Tigers @ Yankees 8:00 GNT

[Smoke]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

My blood is still boiling.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

IMO, Detroit MUST win this game if they have a hope to take this series.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

On to the 11th.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

And the 12th.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

There it is!

5-4 Tigers!

Jeter hurt himself keeping the ball in the infield on a play and was taken out.

Meanwhile, Tigers added another run. 6-4 and still batting.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Man, if the Yankees lose now and it turns out Jeter is gone for the series...it'll feel like being hit in the gut three times in one game.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

No more runs.

It's up to the pitching to close this one out (again).

Verlander will pitch game 3, right?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

The Tigers show remarkable resilience and come back to take Game 1 by a final score of 6-4.

Game two tomorrow at 4 P.M.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Verlander will pitch game 3, right?

I do not know whether that is official yet, but yes...ideally he would pitch game 3 so as to be available for a game 7 if necessary.

 

[Smoke]

He's the best in the game. Hopefully he won't be needed for a game 7.

I don't know if people know, but I am a HUGE DETROIT FAN and the Tigers are the team I've loved the longest (since 1964). With Jeter out and Valverde pitching like a launching pad, I feel like I've been kicked in the gut. I should be happy about the Jeter thing, but it sucks. I don't see too many Yankee fans on this board, I wonder how others feel?

Derek Jeter you are class and the heart of the Yankees. I would have love to beat you on the field. (We still gotta win though a loss like this can inspire a team)
