Damn right they ain't the Yankees, though I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Just FYI, I never jumped on any bandwagon. I became a Yankee fan when I fell (in a manly sorta way) for a young first baseman they brought up named Don Mattingly. He epitomized what I thought a pro athlete should be, and he only got a taste of the playoffs in the last year of his career. It's not about the banners for me . . . it's about the Gehrigs, the Donnie Baseballs, the Jeters who wore pinstripes.

Not questioning your reasons for allegiance, Thomas, nor diminishing the Yankees past greats or successes. Just pointing out that Detroit has the longest current playoff streak in response to your quip about it being April. And channeling my inner Janet Jackson by posing the question, "What have you done for me lately".

And I cannot dispute facts, even if I'd wish to. Fact is, the Tigers have built a good team in recent years that has had much success, much to the delight of its fans. Good for them, and you.

And fact is, it IS April, and baseball has a loooooong season. Not only ain't it over till it's over, it ain't over when it's just begun.

And fact is also, Tanaka looked good last night.

Absolutely, Thomas. And the AL Central is stacked with talent this year, so definitely not counting any 2015 chickens yet....just having some fun, after all, that's what baseball's all about.

Pineda was reasonably effective, the Yankee batters not so much (5 runs off 11 hits and 6 walks), the bullpen did their job, and Yanks sweep the Bay Rays to reach .500. Now if they can just still be there after 4 upcoming in Detroit.

Anybody catch Reds manager Brian Price's F-bombapalooza rant ? i'd say he's a little frustrated.

So I wanted 2 of 4 for my Yanks in Detroit, and I got it with one still to play. Smacked Price, one of the Tigers' thirteen aces, around like a rented mule.

Guess I could get greedy and hope for 3 of 4, but I'll take whatever at this point. If nothing else, we've doubled Detroit's Ls in two days.

Yup, that was a good old fashioned schelacking last night, Thomas. Sanchez hasn't been great so far either so 3 outta 4 is a distinct possibility.

I would be much more upset about this if it were late June and the Blackhawks were out of it.

Tom, I'm concerned how Tanaka's gimpy arm will fare in chilly air this afternoon.

Default Re: 2015 MLB Thread
Like the first game in Detroit, the fourth was a pitching duel. Unlike the first, it was my Yanks who scored late to take the 2-1 win. Tanaka was very good for 6 1/3, and the bullpen did their job. What with the sweep in Tampa, then 3 of 4 in The Motorless City, it turned into a good road trip.

Congrats to your guys, Thomas. Sanchez with only a hit and run allowed in 6 1/3, I'm about as happy as one can be with a loss.

Yeah, considering it was cold as $#!+ all the pitching was outstanding, for both teams. I don't think I could have even gripped a baseball.

Wow. KC was at it again tonight, this time brawling with the CWS. They need to consider changing their name to the Battle Royals.

And they won again too. I think they should change their name to the "Kansas City ****suckers".

Agreed Tom. Ventura is a loose cannon.

I'll also say that the Sox shouldn't entertain them or retaliate. They just need to focus on winning some gd games.

The Sox said all the right things about Ventura, "He's a competitor", "We respect him", but the truth his he seems like a stone jagoff, Nate.
