Well it's not like Stafford has ever played a complete season.:

Well the RB who was taken in the 2nd round isn't going to play this season. So I guess the injury bug hit the Lions early this year. Whether it's over or not remains to be seen.

DETROIT (AP) — Tigers manager Jim Leyland says relievers Jose Valverde and Joaquin Benoit won't pitch in Thursday's fifth game of the AL championship series.

Detroit trails the Texas Rangers 3-1 in the ALCS but sends ace Justin Verlander to the mound for Game 5. Leyland says he hopes the Tigers can make it through this game using just Verlander and reliever Phil Coke.

Valverde, Detroit's closer, has pitched 4 1-3 innings in the last three days. He took the loss when Texas beat the Tigers 7-3 in 11 innings Wednesday night.

Benoit has thrown four innings in the last three days.

So not only does Verlander HAVE to win the game for us, he's GOT to go 8 innings.

No pressure, dude.

ERROR Santiago. Verlander was flying, and now he's got to deal with 2 men on. FUCK..

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

OK, no harm no foul. Verlander took 2 pitches to get the next guy.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

LOL....Avila's first hit in a fortnight was a home run....now Delmon Young gets HIS first hit in forever and it's ALSO a home run.

2-1 Tigers.
