Tigers vs. Yankees

[Chuck-17]

I guess the positive for burnett is the last time he faced the tigers in Detroit he went 7 innings and allowed 2 earned runs.

Even if Verlander should lose I still see this series going 5 games.I have no faith in A.J.Burnett especially in a must win game,if the Yankees lose tomorrow night they'll never get back to Yankee stadium.

I know this is going to sound crazy,but why not pitch A.J. in game 3 and save C.C for game 4 that would give the Yankees the best chance to win one in Detroit.

And his ERA is?

And how in the world does Verlander "suck" vs the Yankees but CC usually does great against the Tigers? That makes no sense at all...

Facts are, its home field advantage now for the Tigers, they have the best pitcher in Baseball going tommorow and the next day the Yankees have one of the worst pitchers in Baseball going, is that not an advantage for the Tigers?

Now if the Tigers lose tommorow, the advantage clearly goes back towards the Yankees.

4.49 era- ERA wise, Verlander is at a 4.32 against the Yanks.


FYI- I wasn't saying Verlander actually sucked against NY- but compared to godmother games this year, he did.

I wouldn't put much stock into those that don't actually live in the area, I kinda hate some of the Tigers fanbase, everyone can be to happy about nothing, and the people in the area for some reason LOVE Brandon Inge, its mindblowing stuff.

There are far more annoying fans out there than you- far more. But the '2011 AL Central Division Champions' does get annoying whenever you say the word 'Tigers'.

Didn't he end up losing that game though and ended up imploding? I believe that start was against Porcello, could be wrong though..

I thought that Girardi would do that if the series was 1-1 going into game 3. It seemed odd that he didnt announce CC for game 3 right away.

That's including playoffs, i'd assume?

Its suppose to be annoying, its an inside joke of sorts..

Including playoffs, yes.

I'm glad this isn't 2006 then

[spuds1961]

At least the umpiring will be in our favor tonight,Jerry Davis is behind home plate,Verlander's e.r.a is over 6 when he umps,on the other hand C.C.Sabathia is 2-0 when Jerry Davis umps,hey any positive is worth mentioning.

That's the first time a yankee fan has used "positive" and "Burnett" in the same sentence.
