Doolittle and Reddick, the entire idiotic Red Sox team, all following a trend that idiot Wilson started in San Francisco long ago. Seriously, the hobo beard is played. Let it go followers.

 
Is that Dombrowski's son next to him? That kid looks like he needs a throat punch.

Congrats Tiger fans. Scherzer/Verlander is nasty

 
So Miguel walks into Boston and says, Hey I know what to do with this stick in my hand.....

peace

love Dan Dickerson whooping it up in the locker room

peace

 
I almost hate beating the A's, great series and great franchise. Now we play the great satan in sports, oof.

Can't believe any Tigers fan would wnt VMART over Avila behind the plate. Avila is a very good defensive catcher and had a 953 OPS in September. You can't sit him because Cabrera is ailing, no way. Red Sox would have 30 steals in game 1 including 5 by Mike Napoli. :mellow:

 
One more thing. Victor Martinez calling out Grant Balfour will probably poo-pooed as a key moment in this series, but I really believe this woke the Tigers up. Detroit has the best starting pitching left, not sure how anyone could argue that. They have three #1 starters.

The hitting is #### though, streaky and unfocused because our hitting coach (big Mac!) Should have been fired years ago.

So VMART took the opportunity to get these jerks off their asses. IMO that and Scherzer standing the bases loaded were the key to the series.

I love VMart, this team lacks offensive character as proven in last year's WS. VMart changes that, he's forever a Tiger IMO.

 
The key to the series was probably Verlander being Verlander. He started to show signs towards the end of the season, but this is finally the Verlander we all know and love. Two awesome outings.

is it lloyds fault that austin is a human windmill? Hes awful.

Everytime the VMart-Jhonny part of the lineup came up I thought we had a chance at runs.

the bottom 3 in this lineup scare no-one add in a crappy leadoff hitter.

 
I did not like having Johnny back because it kind of tainted the team with a PED-scandal, but without him the Tigers would have been headed home. If they make it to the WS though, it will be a challenge keeping VMart and Jhonny in the lineup. I could almost see starting VMart at first and benching Prince in those games. :o

I've been watching the morning foxsports1 version of sportcenter lately just for the jokes. One of their anchors said Dombrowski's kid looked like Spalding from Caddyshack.

Absolutely.

Gotta acknowledge what Jhonny did, too. He and VMart were the hitting forces. Now shuffle the line-up to bury AJax and see what happens. I think Hunter will be stronger against Boston ...wonder if he was pressing too much.

 
"@ESPNStatsInfo: Justin Verlander is 2nd P in MLB history with 10+ K, 0 R allowed in back-to-back postseason games. Other: Sandy Koufax, 1965 WS G5 & 7"

But as Oso Diablo would point out, Koufax was a better hitter.

We don't have a leadoff. Maybe Iggy? Could go non-traditional and do Hunter-Miggy-Prince-VMart-Johnny....and not really have a leadoff. I think I saw years ago where computer simulations actually showed instead of batting your best hitter 3rd, it was really best to lead him off. Not sure I buy into that though.

All the Jackson bashing means he will have a great series coming up. I just want to see Fielder put one in the seats somewhere.

Jackson makes Delmon Young look like a contact hitter.
