<p>Well, I’ll be…</p>
<p>What (starting) pitching by Verlander, Rogers and Bonderman! And the relief pitching consistenly kept the door closed.</p>
<p>Yes, the Yankees batters laid a collective egg, but I can’t get over the pitching by the Tigers starters (and relievers). The game pitched by Kenny Rogers on Friday night was one of the best-pitched games I have ever seen.</p>
<p>Bring on the A’s!</p>
<p>Congrats to the Tigers. I have thrown off my Darth Vader helmet and rejected the Dark Side (for at least the remainder of the playoffs). Go Tigers!</p>
<p>I’m still pulling for a Mets/Detroit WS. Though I’ll root for my Mets, I would not feel too bad about losing to the Tigers, who look really, really good, and whom I developed an affection for during my years at UM.</p>
<p>Once it became clear that my beloved Red Sox were out, I have been rooting for the Tigers. What a weekend for Detroit and what a terrific way to humble those Yankees. I will be cheering for the Tigers to bring home the series trophy. Good luck!</p>
<p>Tigers! Tigers! Tigers!</p>
<p>I still remember copying Rocky Calivito’s warm up routine as a preschooler playing backyard baseball.</p>
<p>Yeah, but Lou Piniella??? HELP us here! Isn’t there SOMETHING in between Lou and Joe??? Cripe I don’t think I could stand to watch him throwing fits all the time.</p>
<p>The last sentence of our paper said it all - something to the effect of “You don’t win baseball games with great players, you win with a great team.”</p>
<p>I’d love to see Giradi, but Piniella will get the job. I have a feeling A-Rod is going to get traded again in the offseason.</p>
