ALCS: Detroit Tigers vs Boston Red Sox

[hockeyrobot]

Do the Tigers get there again? Or does Farrell go even further to piss off those Jays' fans that still care?

Probable pitchers....

Game 1. Anibal Sanchez vs Jon Lester

That's all we got right now....

Thanks for making the thread.

Boston in six games IMO.

Detroit's offense was VERY quiet against Oakland and their lineup is built off players that get extra base hits and home runs. Boston has a much better approach.

Sanchez with 4 strike outs in the first inning! He had 12 strike outs in the game but also walked 6. Great game. This is the stuff that playoff baseball should be made of.

Two games in... WHAT. A. SERIES!

[dmvincent]

This is crazy and I wouldn't have expected pitching to dominate this series, especially on Boston's end. I mean, Lackey? Really?

Great series though.

Hoping Detroit can pull even tonight. I want more baseball...but hate these breaks every two days!!

Peavy...3 IP, 7 ER, 3 BB, 1 SO.

So much for a starter you can count on in the playoffs, eh?

[hockeyrobot]

Yikes!!

Back to square one.

Effing Red Sox....

So Scherzer vs Bucholz in Game 6. AWESOME!!

I still don't get the two day break BS. Like these guys have three or four days off a month during the season. I understand they want ratings....but if a team was elite all year because of a deep starting rotation, that could mean nothing in the playoffs if they face a team like LAD with Kershaw, Greinke and Ryu.

Bugs me.
