So we meet again: Yankees vs Tigers ALCS playoff thread

[g-ice]

coke was pumping fastball after fastball until he saw swisher, he said "fukk this shyt, let me throw a breaking ball, maybe I'll get lucky."

everything went better than expected.

Yep, Ibanez was like "shyt I definitely need to come through now."

 

[DredScott]

No. Most of the team will return minus a few exceptions. The rotation's mostly intact and they need to buy low and invest in the next Swisher per se.

sadly this is true.

i wish it was easy to blow your team up and rebuild like it is in the other major sports, but with the draft being such a fukking crapshoot and young draftees not hitting the majors for like 5 years shyt is fukkin impossible. especially since teams are so fukking stingy with their prospects now days as well.

we're stuck pretty much with all of our big money players and cause of this cap threshold we are trying to stay below.


if anything our team will be worse next year...

Plus he took someone elses front row seats

It's so cold in the D!

 

[Swiggy]

LMAO @ my pops calling me up to tell me Leyland and 3rd base coach Gene Lemont should be fired tonight, for holding up Infante up at 3rd on that single that was almost caught

I swear to god, my old man would run every mother fukker going from 2nd to 3rd into an out at home

If Ibanez got on we were expecting a guy whose career post season number is 1-34 w risp come through??? Oh yeah his career .667 avg against coke (3abs).
What did A-rod due to piss Girardi off, that last ibanez at bat should of been his.

 

[HHR]

he would of had a terrible at bat even though he switches to the right side of the plate.
Ibanez at bat was solid. He went into a full count. Come on now!!

I couldn't believe they didn't throw Ibanez more sliders...

But letting Ibanez, a player who has an OPS vs LHP of around .550 the last two years, face a pitcher who is essentially a lefty specialist at this point his career....with an ALCS game on the line.......because you're banking on MAGIC....is absurd.

I guess that flirting thing I mean they didn't deny that it happened they said no comment , Arod never even sniffed a bat . Who even leaked the story? Probably the Yankees hoping people would want him benched but turned out we care more about the whole team not hitting

Statistically speaking I understand the notion of Ibanez not being there. I do but Ibanez has been getting hits off of lefties as of late.

I still would of had A-Rod at least lurking on deck or something.

Coke would have come out even though he wasn't hitting the strike zone at all and they would have put in Benoit against A-Rod.

A-Rod would have never seen Coke. Remember the Tigers had double barrel action when JV was still in.

A-Rod out there doing John Cena trolling on people. The camera was on him and he was "HI MOM " at the start of the game

Can't wait

People really complaining about A-rod saying hi mom on tv? How about cano blowing bubbles sitting there on a folding chair or the pitchers chewing seeds and laughing it up?
Not a big deal.

Girardi is being a bytch if he really getting upset with arod getting digits.
