[10] I guess Bill Belichick has been making up for lost time too! One might even say these guys were able to claw back to “average” with all their recent and extended success. ; )

As for the Twins/Tigers, I have one word: Tie!

Torre’s career is living proof that a manager is only as good as the 25 man roster he is given.

Which reminds me. YES showed Stick Michael in the stands in Tampa. No one person deserves more credit for the four rings than him, yet no one gets less credit or made less money as a result.

If the Tigers wind up advancing, Verlander would not be available on full rest until Friday. If the Yankees choose ALDS A, that would allow Verlander to still pitch two games on full rest. However, if they pick ALDS B, Verlander would have to start one game on short rest.

No, that’s not right. In either type of series, Verlander could pitch on Friday 10/9 and then again on 10/14. Both would be on full rest, and in each case it would be Game Two and Game Five.

Griffey has 3 homers in his last 3 games. who knows if tomorrow is his last game, not. outside of essentially being a pinch hitter for seattle next year, there’s really no fit for him. tampa would be the only logical place and they’re stuck with Pat the Bat for another year. i guess, maybe Texas. andruw jones will be gone. crazy that he’ll become a 1B/DH, if anything…no more center field.

the DH market will be pretty ripe, and Matsui and Thome will certainly be on there, amongst quite a bit of others…

if Junior gets 3 AB’s tomorrow, he’ll reach 10,000. if he plays next season, he’ll reach 1,200 XBH, 1,700 Runs and 2,800 Hits. he should fall short of 550 doubles, 1,900 RBI and Willie Mays (660 homers). his OPS should remain over .900.

regardless of anything, he will ALWAYS have the prettiest, most perfect and most incredibly beautiful swing of all time!!!

[11] holy crap! my best friend from childhood lives in denver. if we made the Series w/ them, i’d expect him to (somehow) get tickets. he’s a doctor, so i figure he could swing it. if so, i’d VERY much consider flying out there to go to a game. no – i’d make sure it’d happen!!!

I completely stopped paying attention to the game after the Yankees got their hit (right away, obviously) and eventually turned it off totally in favor of the Tigers.

Michael Kay is worse than ever in meaningless games, and I just can’t even have him as background noise anymore just repeating himself over and over and over again. If I hear “fresh and sharp” one more time I’ll start throwing things.
