With those lineups is there any need to play the game.

[gladdyontherise]

Raburn/Inge have no business playing when they're a combined 15-83 vs Sabathia and you're leaving Santiago/Betemit on the bench who are 10-29 against Sabathia

I am looking forward to this game. Verlander has been amazing all season. The Tigers did lose both games he started against the Yankees this year though (Not Verlander's fault in either).

[gladdyontherise]

To be fair the Tigers (and Verlander for that matter) from back in May are a completely different team than they were in May.

I get the feeling this will be Verlander's "coming out party" on the big stage...If he isn't right though tonight, you'll be able to easily tell in the first inning. If he's throwing 97 MPH+ in the 1st then he's not right

[Chuck-17]

Tigers score first.

I thank the little league park for that homer!
