SHUT OUT!!!

Your boys from the Bronx sure BOMBED tonight!







How many of The Gambler's curve balls did you eat?




Before you go bellyaching...let me remind you of all the smack that has been talked here for the past few days...

(ahem)

That being said...

I realize this isn't over until it's over...but, my city has been waiting for tonight for 19 years and with that kind of passion behind a team of pitchers your boys can't even hit against...well...you might get your asses handed to you in Motown tomorrow night.
And maybe not...it is the Yankees after all...

Who won?

I like where this thread is heading...

What a GREAT win for our boys! Firey Kenny was the perfect pitcher
for last nights game...his emotion carried him (and the rest of the
team) to a win.

Pitching is monumental in the playoffs, and THE TRUTH came out.

BTW, those home white and blue uni's with the old english "D" are
the classiest looking uni's in all of sports. Much better than those
Yankee pinstipes home uni's.

I don't have any shit to talk, The Roaster showed up and pitched like a man last night, the pressure is now ON the Yankees. I believe they can do it, though.

Are you sure? Because from where I'm standing in Toledo, home of the Tigers' AAA-farm team Mud Hens -- who by the way have won back-to-back International League championships last year and this year -- the Yankees last night looked more like the last place Columbus Clippers, the Yanks' AAA farm team.

On top of that, former Toledo Mud Hens Curtis Granderson, Marcus Thames, Craig Monroe, Magglio Ordonez and Joel Zumaya have done pretty well so far in the ALDS.

Heck, the Toledo Mud Hens had more competition against the Indianapolis Indians - AAA farm team of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Lousiville Bats -- AAA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, the Charlotte Knights -- AAA affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, the Buffalo Bisons -- the AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, and the Rochester Red Wings -- AAA affiliate of the Minnesota Twins -- than the YANKEES' AAA FARM TEAM -- the last-place Columbus Clippers.

Heck, George Steinbrenner paid top dollar to be in the playoffs this year like in years past. Compare that the the Tigers organization where talent was cultivated and grown and earned in the minor leagues from Toledo and Erie (Pa.) SeaWolves, to the Lakeland (Fla) Tigers and West Michigan Whitecaps and Oneonta (NY) Tigers.

Oh. on top of that Jim Leyland is from suburban Toledo, about 55 miles south of Motown. So, it's all local.

What say you now?

The Yankees got MAULED by the Tigers last night. The Gambler made it do what it do! And how about Curtis Granderson hitting his second homer of the series!? Things are comming together nicely. If I were a Yankee fan, I'd be getting ready to mothball my pinstripes until next year! GO GET 'EM TIGERS! THE ROAR HAS BEEN RESTORED!

fucking tiger fans get one big playoff win and act as if you're the 27 yankees, relax, I gave you your props, but try not to hand yourselves the trophy yet

jerseykrs said:

Yeah...you talked enough smack this past week I'm sure you've exhausted yourself for a while

The Roar is Restored...





Tonight should be interesting...keep praying my fellow Motor Babies...we can pull this one out! BLESS YOU BOYS!!!

jerseykrs said:

We're not acting like the Yankees anything...we've got our own rich sports history here in Motown...and we don't need your props...that's not what's going to bring the win tonight.

HEY!!! BE QUIET!!! All u Tigers fans are going to jinx this whole thing....talk shit about the Yankees AFTER they get unceremoniously run out of Detroit in game 4....

....better to channel all that noise across the country to Dodger Stadium so that they can stage a comeback and keep the Mets out of the WS too....last thing in the world we need is ANOTHER subway series.....

No Jinx Here...this is MOTOWN Baby, the city with the best baseball team all year!

PITCHING is what we have...and that's THE TRUTH.

PITCHING is what is needed to win the pennant.

PITCHING will take us to the promised land!

YESSSSS!!!

BTW, Nice to hear Ernie Harwell during yesterday's game...and, we'll
take A-Rod on our team, Yankees.

Yanks are too old...they burn out by playofff time.

Or maybe they ran out blow.

Revolution said:

Done and DONE!!!! BLESS YOU BOYS!!!!

And it was great to hear Ernie yesterday...hearing that soothing voice and poetic play-by-play felt like home in ways that many things can't

Everyone keeps talking about Kenny Rogers, but I don't remember him pitching.

Suck it, Jersey!!!!

This is the sweetest feeling in the world. I love this city. I love this team. Its been a long time comming but our boys did it! I am just FULL OF JOY! It aint over yet though. The best is yet to come!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm a METS fan, but I did not miss ONE PITCH of the ALDS...
then my team won!!!!!

for that, let us engage in a

Congrats to the Mets for completely dominating my Dodgers.....very impressive.....:handclap:

....and HUGE CONGRATS to the Tigers.....WOW!! They made the Yanks look OLD AND DECREPIT!!! And poor A-Rod....don't know whats up with his playoff performances.....

chocolate1 said:

YAY!!! I'd rather see the METS win rather than the Yankees any day.

kidelrich said:

You're a Sox fan.







Anyways, I humbly accept defeat, the Tigers PLAYED phenomenal baseball.

I stand corrected again.

DETROIT

Good pitching will always beat good hitting. Who was that, Kenny Rogers or Bob f-n Gibson? I don't know what kind of voodoo Leyland worked on that cat, but it paid off. Dude was lights out.


On Mike Francesca's Sunday show, he interviewed Bill Madden, one of the top baseball writers around. He says the Boss is as irate as he's ever been. According to Madden, Joe Torre's on his way out and Sweet Lou Pinella will take over.
