Yea I just like talking music here on PA more. My friends like to talk sports a lot, so that's where that energy goes to.
I can't hate the Mets, I feel sorry for them too much.
The Red Sox on the other hand........

 Exactly. I never felt the rivalry myself, it's just like beating up on a baby...it'd just be brutal to do so. I wouldn't mind getting a met game. I've not been to any in forever and I can't fork out the $80 for a Yankee ticket  Plus cost of getting to the Bronx of course

Never knew Darkshade. I assumed DT was your sports, school and love life Indeed, this is the sh*ts about Mo...sucks it was this way. Amazing that even though he's declined in recent years (and he has) he was still one of the better closers in the entire MLB. Scott is right, Yankee fans (especially being the crazed bunch we are) have to take a step back and realize we can't hold anyone else to Mo's standards. Even if someone is a top 10 they won't compare... Good news is Robertson seems poised to take over the closer role and he was dynamite as an 8th inning guy. Damn good.

I'll be at the Tigers' game tonight, but then again it is my home away from home, so when they play at home, I am usually there.

Damn, just heard about Rivera. I'm a Yankees fan and I think that's awful news. I don't like talking about sports as much as I do music (obviously), but that news really got to me. I'm seeing the Mets tonight at Citi Field (I call it sh*tty Field, but...) Hopefully it'll be a fun game. A couple friends of mine are Mets fans and they had an extra ticket, so why not. I don't "hate" the Mets, they're just a bad team.

Is there a way to find Mariano Rivera's career stats against the Tigers? Just curious. In the game the other day against the Mariners our announcers mentioned that the Tigers hadn't scored anything in the last decade against the Mariners' closer, along with Joe Nathan and Mariano Rivera. It certainly seemed as though we always went out 1-2-3 againt Mariano Rivera. I was just curious to see what his career stats were against us.

You Damn Yankee fans are really in for a treat. You really haven't lived until you've had a closer come in with a 3-run lead and proceed to walk the first 3 guys to load the bases with nobody out.

Yeah it's great right? Indeedily what can ya do? Not like it diminishes his career. Besides the core four all need to retire one day, even though Pettitte is making a comeback actually

Ah I see. Sports have a way of bringing about powerful denial.

Yes, but you see Pat...I am upset at this news, so I am taking a normal human reaction and using 20/20 hindsight! In my head world Mo is currently retired a legend, and not hobbled on a bum ACL  Obvs he was still doing fine as of this year and it's just a sh*tty deal.

^Why? He was still a top 5 relief pitcher last season.

Oh wow, I was about to say "I'm afraid to post this" but I see you guys are actually nice this time  I didn't post earlier because I was afraid of positive reaction from Scott...which would've caused me to mail some bombs to Detroit  Obviously quite upset about Mo, especially that this is how his career is going to end... Not right, but I guess fairy tale endings are for fairy tales. Still, dude shoulda just retired after last year!

I had typed a longer post of a similar nature, but got the old pisser "you are not authorized to post in this thread" error message, so I just said screw it and posted the link.

I don't like him, nor do I like the Yankees. That's not how a guy should have his career end though.

Ooofah.....hopefully they don't burn any cars in the Motorcity streets!
Question: Will the Rangers break the 116 win mark set by the M's back in the day?

After the game, the Tigers kicked Brandon Inge to the curb again. Kind of a sad end of an era, but quite frankly long overdue. I was really, really hoping that he would figure it out and get back to being an average hitter with decent power but starting the season 2 for 20 and booting just about every ball hit to him. Sadly, many "fans" are partying in the streets right now.

Well.....anytime the Ms can win 3 in a row its a party around these parts.
I fully expect the Tigers to bid for the AL Title.

This actually isn't entirely bad news for Detroit. In 1984, the Tigers started the season 35 and 5 and got swept by the Mariners. They went on to win the World Series. Last year, the Tigers were 12 and 10 and got swept by the Mariners. They went on to win their division for the first time since 1987 and made it to the AL Championship Series. So being superstitious and all, being swept by the Mariners is actually a good thing for the Tigers.
