Kramerica Industries Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Justice was done this day, but there are 3 more wins required.Don't worry, the Tigers own the Yankees when it matters. They'll get those three wins before the Yankees even get two.My avatar subtitle is just a masochistic way of giving myself hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Nick Swisher has made two costly misplays in RF tonight.It's bad enough he can't hit his body weight in the playoffs. He's only in the field because Raul Ibanez is an awful defensive player at this point in his career. If he can't even be decent in RF, then he shouldn't be anywhere near the field.

Period.Swisher was not blame on the Jackson triple play it got caught in the wallLater that inning, he allowed a soft flare to drop in for a hit that allowed Cabrera to score.He made one of two enormous miscues there. Either:1) He should've dove for the ball, if he had already conceded that Cabrera was going to score and was going to toss the ball into second. On that play, Prince Fielder ain't going 1st-to-3rd, so might as well go for it, and if he catches it, it's a DP.Or2) Cabrera was at third when Swisher got the ball. Cabrera is slow as dirt. And Swisher was shallow enough that even his noodle arm could've reached the plate. (For reference, Jackson didn't try and score on a fly ball a tad bit deeper to Swish just two batters earlier). He should've tried to cut down the run.Pick your poison. It was a terrible play, any way you slice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YessSir32 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 So in a way, is Jose Valverde the hero? If he closes the game, Jeter doesn't get hurt. Honestly though, I think that's the last game he pitches for Detroit. He'll have a mysterious injury that keeps him out for October. Good ridence "Papa Grande".

Last year when Buster Posey got hurt, the Giants came back from down 6-2 to tie it in the 9th against the Marlins, and in extra innings he got hurt.

DustDevil61 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm a bit late to post about it, but I'm in as much shock concerning the Cards/Nats Game 5 as anyone else. I leave after Washington goes up 6-0, as I have better things to do than hopelessly hope for St. Louis to rally. On my way back, however, my brother (who also roots for the Cardinals) texts me and tells me that they came back, and just like Game 6 of last year's WS, they take the lead after being a strike away from elimination. This stuff just doesn't happen often, and especially not to the same franchise in consecutive years.It's a very rough way for the Nationals' season to end, and it reminded me of seeing Tracy McGrady after Game 7 of the 2007 Utah Jazz/Houston Rockets series*: The team I root for won, and in dramatic fashion, but you kinda feel for the opponents. That said, Washington's going to be a good team in years to come, and I always love to see once-terrible teams become relevant.As for the Cardinals and Giants, the NLCS should be another good series IMO.*Not to get off on too big a tangent.As for the ALCS, when the Yankees tied it up in the 9th, I really thought that the game was going to end before extra innings. I'm surprised that Detroit held on after losing momentum that quickly, though I'd wager that losing Jeter didn't help the Yankees' momentum.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That doesn't justify it. There's a fine line between being bitter towards the Yankees (which is something I can completely understand), and actually celebrating injuries like this. That's incredibly poor taste. Even other people on this page who hate the Yankees aren't happy to have seen that.I expect better from Twins fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I was surprisingly upset when he went down. My statement was more geared towards the most delusional fans out there that take sports way too seriously (Just ask BringBackTheVet ). Do you really think that after the backlash from the Matt Cassel incident I would go off and cheer someone's injury?Twins fans have no beef against Derek Jeter, anyway.

Just plug Raul Ibanez at sort and they'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
