George Simmons Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I predict my beloved Yankees are going to slaughter your beloved Tigers. Let the games begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be the Acela Series - Philly and the Yanks.See you in the spring D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 What about the Red Sox?Oh wait, that's right, the Rays knocked them outta the race......AWWWWWWW.GO RAYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yea, collapse complete...I know those kinds of September collapses (see Detroit Tigers, 2009 version).My hope was for a home series against Boston..no desire to take on TB and their pitching in a short series. Instead, LA rolled over for TX and let them get that second slot.So instead, will have to ruin George's week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how things end up in October/November seeing the words "historic collapse" and "Red Sox" in the same sentence will continue to warm my heart all throughout the winter.

LightsinMaine Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 But the Yankees still hold the biggest all-time blow-up of all......losing a series when ahead 3 - 0. I still think that was the all-time best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hey what about the Indians?!? They are going all the way, especially since they exclusively had the best record in all the MLB through the first half of the season! Oh wait...never mind...that's right, they are from Cleveland, and we'll never win anything here, no matter how good things look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsinMaine Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Cleveland is a pretty nice town (tongue in cheek). Been there a few times for A Christmas Story House and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, Ubaldo really got it done for you...The Tigers LOVED seeing him pitch..But hey, don't worry...you only gave away your top 3 prospects and half the farm system for him...

Been there a few times for A Christmas Story House and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...I honestly don't care much for Cleveland (the city). I have lived in NE Ohio my whole life about 45 minutes south of Cleveland, so I have no allegiance to the town itself. I'm pretty close to Akron. We do root for Cleveland sports though since it is the closest professional team town. But Cleveland the city has done a horrible job developing the city, particularly the lakefront (Lake Erie). I am not sure that we will ever escape "The Curse" when it comes to professional sports. It is pretty bad when one of the best moments in Cleveland sports in recent years was watching Lebron and his Miami Heat lose in the championships this year.But watch out for those Browns! 2-1 start---best start since 2002!! (how sad is that?) Oh wait....that's right...they are the Cleveland Browns...never mind...resume your talk about MLB Playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'll take it..a split in NY (but the 9th innning tonite had me worried..)...not to mention an MSU win at OSU, and another Lions comeback...4-0 heading into a monday night showdown with the Bears.All in all, a good sports weekend :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You should feel relieved - it took two acts of nature to snuff out Yankee rallies. Tomorrow should be a barn-burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was true to form today.The whole weather thing, to me, has been poorly handled...the second inning Friday night was a joke, the foul pop slip in the 9th today was an injury waiting to happen..and watching Derek Jeter constantly have to wipe his helmet just so he could bat (albeit, a little extra drama thrown in...) in the 7th shows the poor judgment of the umpires, and probably, more to blame, is MLB leadership, Selig, et al.Good thing is, its not raining in Detroit. Tomorrow night definitely will be a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
