I must admit they did it right in Boston . . . today. :r

Here's #3465, and done counting.

Goodbye, Mr. Jeter. :salute:

Now bring on the Ori-Holes! :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

The last, and maybe best, Jeter tribute.

Now back to your regularly scheduled post-season. :D

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Pretty cool, Thomas. :tu

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

I thought so, Admiral. Good luck against the Oreos. ;)

Thanks Thomas. Room on the Tiger train if you need a team to pull for in October this year. ;)

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Awesome wild card game tonight, best play-in game since they added a second wild card team. Congrats to the Royals for moving on.

I gotta admit, I felt bad for Adam Dunn, his last major league game and he didn't even get to bat. :td

Fixed it for you, Tom. :D

Tremendous game last night.
It was probably my first time watching the Royals all year.
What a scrappy team. They're going to be a tough out in the playoffs.
The way they scratched out runs last night left me impressed, and they are relentless on the base paths.
They will be well equipped to play in the tight, well pitched games of October.
Provided their starting pitching keeps them in it.

Once Melvin went to Hammel, I thought the game was over.
That's too tough of a spot to have a starting pitcher come in as a reliever.

Somebody should ask Billy Beane if he's inventing a new stat to explain what happened to his team. Maybe WWH, Wins Without Heart?
He clearly traded the heart of his club away when he dealt Cespedes, and they played like it down the stretch.
For his part, Lester has to do a better job than he did last night. That was the type of game he was brought in to win.

I'm interested to see where the postseason goes from here.
Hopefully tonight in Pittsburgh will be just as fun.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Game one to the Orioles.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Tigers and O's should be a good series. Hopefully the O's can move on, mainly because they've been bad so long.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Great games last night. Well, the Tigers/Orioles was good up until the Tigers bullpen took over in the 8th.

You may, if you wish, blame my Yankees for the meltdown. See, we placed Joba and Coke in the Tiger bullpen as agent provocateurs, tasked with destroying Detroit at every key opportunity.

Hey, we have good scouts, and know how to best utilize talent. :r

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Tigers get "Joba-ed" again. The only thing uglier than that beard is his 108.00 ERA.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread

Can the Tigers bullpen really be that bad??
