ALCS Tigers vs Rangers

[king]

It is sooooo stupid they scgedule these playoff games before work is over!! Its going to cause more wrecks while everyone rushing to watch the game. Bud selig=dumb dumb

[westend1]

Hamilton rbi single.  2-2  mid 5th.  Verlander has thrown 96 pitches through 5.  Don't think he will finish this one.

[westend1]

Going to 6th tied at 2.    CJ has thrown 76 pitches through 5.

[westend1]

Kinsler hits into 5-3 double play with bases loaded.  2-2 going to bottom of 6th.  Verlander at 113 pitches

[PhatMack19]

That hurt not getting a run right there.

[PhatMack19]

Tigers get a break with an RBI double off of 3rd base.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

My AL team is the Yankees but I really want the Rangers to win but that hit by Cabrera may have been the start of their undoing right now.

[westend1]

Wow!  Single, Double off the 3rd base bag and now a triple down the right field line just out of Nellie's reach.    4-2 Tigers.    Young with 2nd homer.  6-2

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

That homer hurt.

[PhatMack19]

The Tigers hit for the cycle in order to start the 6th.

6-2 Detroit

[westend1]

That ball that hit the bag was a bad break.    That was going to be a pretty easy double play

[westend1]

7=4  Cruz with a 2 run homer

[Ty Cobb]

Very nervous about the fact that the RANGERS didn't finish the series yesterday.  The tigers scare me and it seems like they have had the RANGERS number the last few seasons.  TEXAS really needs to win game 6.  I do not want it to go to game 7!!!

[HubTx]

Game 7 scares me because anything can happen.... Plus, Detroit really has something with Doug Fister, and I don't want to see him again.... Hopefully Derek Holland can throw one of his patented shutouts on Saturday night and the Rangers can get some rest before we see St. Louis or Milwaukee next Wednesday night....

I agree.  If the RANGERS have to face Doug Fister again it could be trouble.  Here's the thing with Fister, he throws a sinker or a sinking fastball.  Most of his pitches are down in the zone and have some type of sinking action which leads to ground balls.  When he's on, he's very tough to beat.  I've seen the RANGERS beat him all over the ballpark when he's off but I have also seen him tame the TEXAS offense when he's on.  Hopefully Holland and the boys can prevent a game 7 from happening!!! 

Here's my prediction:  [b]If[/b] the RANGERS can find a way to beat the tigers and get to the World Series, [b]THEY WILL BE World SERIES CHAMPS.  [/b]

[HubTx]

I totally agree that Texas and Detroit are playing for the World Championship right now....

I just want to see the offense get it going and string something together.... As hot as some guys have been, there has not been a real consistent flow to the offense....

Let's get it done 'Stache!!!!

[Ty Cobb]

By far the biggest game of Holland's career.

[Ty Cobb]

Well, here we go boys.  The RANGERS need to finish the series tonight!!!  Hopefully Holland will have the best game of his career.

[adminbaberuth]

4 fingers when 3 hole hitter comes up, please.

[Ty Cobb]

I do not understand why Holland throws a 3rd straight, 1-2 fastball over the plate when facing cabrera.  How aobut throwing it off the plate or maybe mixing in something off spead?  So dang frustrating!!!  Bad guys up 1-0, middle of 1st.

[Ty Cobb]

RANGERS down 2-0 after 2.

[Ty Cobb]

2 rbi double by Michael Young.  The crowd is back into the game and Beltre is at the plate.  Need a big inning.

[Ty Cobb]

Beltre rbi single up the middle.  Napoli is up.

[Ty Cobb]

Ball 4 to Napoli.  2 on 1 out, Nellie Cruz is up.

[Ty Cobb]

Cruz gets down 0-2, fights back and draws a walk.  Bases loaded, 1 out, David Murphy coming to bat.  Leyland is making a pitching change in the bottom of the 3rd.
