2012 MLB Season

First time I have ever gone to a game that got rained out without any rain.    Absolutely f**king ridiculous.  It finally started to sprinkle around 10:00 and I don't know that it ever rained hard enough that they would have delayed the game.  Maybe by 11:00.  They did it to "preserve the integrity of the 9 inning game" but this was complete and utter bullsh*t.  If they want to preserve the integrity of the game then I want to be reimbursed for my $20 parking and $20 in food that I purchased at price gauge induced prices.  Not to mention getting reimbursed for any time off of work that I might have to take on Friday if there is a game 5.

Sounds like you got shafted.

Scott is probably still celebrating at the stadium, or at least in the parking lot.

Good.

Not really sure how you can say that. The Tigers just clobbered the Yankees with one Fielder and one Cabrera tied behind our backs, given that neither of them really contributed all that much until game 4. A

Only because St.Louis is known for their late game heroics and if Valvarde's confidence is shot or if someone is sent out to do his job in such a high pressure atmosphere i'd be worried. On paper Detroit wins but if i was a betting man i'd pick St.Louis. It's very close though.  Really looking forward to this World Series and they played each other for the Series in 2006 right ? Revenge time for the Tigers .

Relief pitching is definitely a concern.  The Yankees and A's were 1-2 in come from behind victories this year and the Tigers survived 2 blown appearances by Valverde.  In interviews, he claims that he has figured out what he was doing wrong.  I guess that will remain to be seen.  I am perfectly surprised that the Tigers have made it this far.  I had them written off for dead when they got swept by the Twins in that September doubleheader.  If someone had told me that the Tigers would sweep the Yankees in the ALCS with Delmon Young being the MVP, Jhonny Peralta being a close 2nd for MVP, and Phil Coke being the star reliever/closer I would have called for the men with the white coats.   

Go Detroit!

Damn where did your old signature go.  I wanted to copy and paste it as my response.

No joke here, what do you mean?
It's been  "Witty Quote" ever since I began at PA.


Its something that has only come up rarely but many Yankee fans are thinking it....A rod is getting older sure, but he has a real massive drop in production, has been getting hurt every year....man boobs sprouted.
These are the classic signs of steroid use, well ending steroid use. Common sense would have to say that ending the roids at a time when you are naturally getting older is not good for production and the mental aspect of "im a f**kin god I'll hit homers in my sleep" is also gone...and A Rod has for years been anti clutch. The evidence is certainly piled up.

On the radio this morning I actually heard a great point, when these steroid era players get to their 50s and later...its gunna be a very sad time. What they've done to their bodies for success then is really gunna be miserable for the rest of their life. Very sad.
