Jeter unlikely to catch Houns from the bench. Have to wait for Cleveland for 6th place.
Both pitchers looking solid...
DP: Drew to Ryan to Headley. Who knew? Third out Prado to Headley. We are the Yankees!
From the Tigers radio broadcast, sounds like yet another slugfest, with a total of 6 whole singles.
One of my grandsons is at the game (the "red shirts" group of campers, shown on TV in bottom of first). He's probably bored with this pitching duel.
Lots of dinky hits today...
[5] Should be expected when you have Cy Young winners matching up.
Oh, wait, never mind.
What's the record for the fewest posts in a game thread?
Let's hope Shane doesn't implode in the 8th.
[9] For shame! That was the pessimist in me coming out.
So Cy Greene for the 9th?
[9] For shame! That was the pessimist in me coming out.
Not sure why the above is being moderated...
There are games where I feel they're lucky to be winning, but then you look around and it's the 9th inning and then, why not?
Love that Sterling just said Joe Torre had a trick up his sleeve.
Ruh roh.
Pretty clear that the Robertson should have started the inning.
Two down.
Cervelli!
Three down!
Great win! 3 of 4!
Very nice!
D-Rob vs Miggy C. How'd it look?
Saw the hi-lite. Nice positioning.
