Hopefully Verlander continues his string of sub-par starts. If the Tigers lose his game, I would hope that the Yankees could take 3 of 4.

Not big on cheering for the Yankees...

But the lesser of two evils I suppose.

I think they're on ESPN tonight. Sox fans can finally benefit from the Yanks/BoSox network and their programming.

on the 11th pitch of the AB, verlander gets ibanez looking on a pitch 4-5 inches outside. with this large of a plate, we might talking no-no later....

0-0 in detroit.

in cleveland....

the tribe continues the tradition of giving runs right back after scoring. After having the bases loaded and NO outs, they score one. the very next inning mccallister gives up solo jacks to the twins.

2-1 twins.... for the first time i actually feel bad for cleveland fans.

Did you see how the Tribe scored? Bases loaded, nobody out in the first and only got one. They're really a mess right now.

yeah, dp. 6-1 now.... yowza.

In Cleveland's defense, they're facing a powerhouse offense tonight.

just your run of the mill 7-run inning for the twins.

correction: 10 run inning. cleveland has given up. seriously need to think about firing their manager asap.

Manny Acta ain't the problem for them. Their cheap owners are.

The good news. Verlander won't pitch again in the series

"cleveland has given up. seriously need to think about firing their manager asap."

Both true. Never could figure out what was the big deal about Manny Acta.

Manny Acta is a glorified translator.

Anyone see how the Nats - Astros game ended?

The Astros are bad. So bad.

LOL look at the seats. I get that it's the 11th inning but my god.

Was that baseball or a showing of the three stooges?

The National's kid fan's reaction was great, even though his dad appears to be a huge dork...

I just want everyone to remember that when they say "I rather watch a bunch of young kids (regardless of potential) than underachieving veterans". That was brutal.

Go ahead run scores from first on a bunt...that was popped up. Wow.

Oswalt causing a little drama in TX.

Never really pegged Oswalt as the prima donna type.

Really? After his hissy fit in game 3 of the 05 WS that's exactly how I pegged him.

yeah, the fact he would rather get into a bean ball war in THE F'N WORLD SERIES instead of concentrating on helping his team win cinched it up for me...
