[puckhead]

Detroit - though it's tough to cheer against Neshek ever again.
Baltimore - because fuck the yankees, that's why
Washington - for Youppi
Cincinnati - Votto is good Canadian kid?

Wanted the A's but down 2-0 i can't see a comeback.

Go Baltimore---fuck the Yankees

Giants---fuck the Reds

Cardinals---2nd favorite team for as long as i can remember.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Go O's!!!

Fuck the rest!

Jim Joyce would have ruled safe at first base on that play...

Go Reds Go!!

I want Mat Latos to get a ring.

Yanks blowing it wide open here in the 9th. Russell Martin isn't a Yankee, he's Canadian...

 

[Indian Chief]

I think I'm pulling for an O's and Reds series.

With the Rangers out the Yankees could be in good shape, UNFORTUNATELY!!

Detroit is 2-0 vs the Yanks in recent postseason history.

Not sayin' anything, but just sayin'.

Where's the pitching depth?

This is why I like the Reds to win it all. They have pitching depth. No team is going to beat the Yankees with 1 pitcher alone.

Bad inning for Johnson and the Yanks blew it open. They need to win the next one now.

What a horrible time for Johnson to pitch poorly. He's been great all year.

From July 30 until the end of the season, Jim Johnson allowed 1 earned run in 24 innings. Yankees scored 5 off him in 1/3 of an inning.

bad time to blow up

 

[Comeds]

It was a terrible time. I'm glad it wasn't a save oppurtunity though. The Orioles need to score more than 2 and really need to make the opposing starter work harder than they did tonight.

I wouldn't count out the A's yet, with them getting to play the final 3 at home. The rest of the teams however are in deep shit, the Giants in particular. In the 2-3 format you almost have to take the first two games.

I'd love to see a Washington/Baltimore series just because it would probably piss off the people who cry about ratings. If the Nats make it to the World Series this year, the Mariners will be the only MLB franchise without a WS appearance.

Where's the pitching depth for the Tigers?

Scherzer's pretty good, 3.74 ERA and 231 strikeouts. Anibal Sanchez has a 3.86 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP, which also isn't bad. Doug Fister's solid, too.

In terms of starting pitching, in the AL, I don't think anyone's better off than the Tigers.
