It was a non save situation. He could get away with miniscule time performance.

I think the weather might have comprimised Valverde's split finger fastball. I only saw the Cano at bat and it was coming down pretty hard at that point. You have to believe the rain was a big factor.

Trust me, it wasn't coming down like that the entire inning. It would have been a perfect Detroit sports conclusion if that Avila slip on the Yankees logo had changed the game's outcome.

Would you please stop it with that horse crap. 3 of the 4 professional sports franchises in Detroit have won a championship in my lifetime. IN fact I need two hands to count them. I can count the Cleveland championships in my lifetime on my fist. Stop it with that please. It's nonsensical. Detroit sports fans have led a charmed life...9 freaking championships in my lifetime and you are whining about Detroit sports conclusions. Good God.

I'll give you the Wings, but the Tigers have stunk for the better part of the last 20 years and the Lions have stunk since the 50's. And the NBA doesn't count because nobody cares.

That stadium of yours is giving TBS fits. Their camera work is deplorable. My kids asked if they had lights in their stadium because it looked like they were playing in the dark. One of the replays of the fair ball called foul, had the ball hitting the wall below the crawl at the bottom of the screen.

Baseball needs to rethink giving the Division Series to a company that shows one game a week. They obviously do not have the talent, on the air and behind the scenes, to handle 4 simultaneous series.

5 pitchers on the Phillies making over $10 million a year?? and another at $9.5 million?

It all counts. If you can look it up it counts. I like the NBA. I personally rank them 1. MLB, 2. NBA, 3. NFL, 4. NHL (although I did have the Cleveland Barons for a couple years!) 20 years?? all the Cleveland teams have stunk for the better part of the last 50 years (well 45). 8 good years of the Indians late 90s early 00s, 5 good years of the Browns...Schottenheimer, 5 good years of the Cavs...LeBron. That's the last 50 years. That's it.

horsey of coursey - did you hear the stat last night on the telecast? The Lions and Tigers haven't made the playoffs in the same season since 1934. The Cleveland franchises last did that in 1954.
