7 Tigers, 5 Rangers
I know these playoffs ratings have been horrible but great baseball is being played. This series has been pretty awesome and last night was the same thing. Jim Leyand was in the hole in the beginning of the game as he announced Joquin Benoit and Jose Valverde will not be available because he is over using them, however, he did have Justin Verlander and when you have that, it's never a bad thing. It's funny Verlander has yet to have a game that has WOWed me. Last night he went 7.1 let up 4 runs and Kd 8. I want to see a 9 inning game with 15 Ks god dammit. But the real hero of the game is Delmon Young, who wasn't even going to be on the ALCS roster due to an oblique injury. Delmon hit 2 HRs and 3 rbis and knocked CJ Wilson around. Speaking of CJ Wilson, why does everybody want him? He has sucked these entire playoffs and looks like a deer in headlights every time he wants to pitch. But the Captain wants him so I guess that makes it a great signing. (The Captain also loved the Lackey deal when it happened too). Nelson Cruz made it interesting by hitting his 5th home run in the 8th, but it was too little too late.
The series is at 3-2
Brewers beat St. Louis 4-2.
Series is at 2 all.
It was actually cool to see throwback Randy Wolf come in and throw 7 semi dominant innings. After letting up a homerun by Allen Craig in the 3rd he was really good. I want the Brewers to take this. I despise the Cardinals for some reason.
