Sure here in the Metro area, but there is still the riff raff from down the turnpike to take care of.

Hope that the Red Birds can do the job tomorrow!

Happy Yankees Elimination Day, everyone!

That feels like the TPotG to me.

The only thing better would have been Jeter commiting a ninth inning error to pin the loss on Mariano.
But I'll take this.
Now my fellow Munchkins, let's all join hands and sing:
DING DONG, THE BITCH IS DEAD.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That allegedly dead bitch is going to seriously consider making a run at our naked shortstop this winter.

My father is from Detroit and is a Tiger fan so I went along with him tonight for some good schadenfreude. There is a whole sociological study just waiting to be done regarding the House of Evil during a game like this but I'll share the key observations:

1. I've never heard so much profanity over a prolonged period of time. You wouldn't hear 15% of what we heard if you watched 3 Sopranos episodes in a row;
2. These have to be some of the worst fans in baseball, turning on their own players in an instant;
3. My father asked if he needed to take off his hat when walking out. When it was clear that A-Rod was going to be the last out, we quickly realized there would be plenty of misdirected anger and no worries.

Great for your dad, I bet he's feeling good today. The few times I was at Yankee stadium I would agree with the observations, ramped up 10x for the playoffs I bet.

[Benjamin Grimm]

YAY!

[Guest themetfairy]

It's safe for me to watch the New York stations again.

Let's hope that after tonight Philadelphia programming will be similarly tolerable....

[bmfc1]

As a token of our gratitude, I propose that we put the full rooting interest of the mighty CPF behind the Tigers in the ALCS.

I'm on board with that.

When I think about this game I can't help but admire what Benoit did out there, yeah he walked in a run with the bases loaded but I thought he showed some heart and never gave in. There were times out there that you could see the pressure he was under. I really enjoyed Smoltz and Darling during the whole game but especially when Benoit was pitching


If I were a Yankees fan I want Texeria to swing the fucking bat, hate that guy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Great for Gdad.

For me that sequence in the 4th? when Arod was held at 3rd on the single and Martin/Gardner popped out was the Dodge Turning Point of the Game. I know the MFYs would have more chances (and the Tigers would get bigger outs) but most nights they'd have managed to turn that deal into a wild pitch, an error, a cheap single and a three-run homer and been leading 6-2 or 7-2 going to the 5th.

[metirish]

So many big names came up small again for the MFYs , and another 6 years of GayRod?, love it.

They can concentrate on Michael Vick in Philly.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yhat's the thing. The seventh had all that crap, but not the homer.

When Derek Jeter's Yankees were winning their first championship in 1996, the Tigers were losing 109 games under Bubby Bell.

When Alex Rodriguez was engineering his trade from Texas to the Yankees ("Don't retreat --- reload!"), the Tigers were coming off a 119-loss season under Alan Trammell.

Let's hope the page is turned and all that karma is transferred over. Long live the city of Detroit. Let's hope they win, Dave Bing cries, nobody riots, and 50-Cent is as far away from the proceedings.

[metirish]

I guess it wasn't written in the wind after all

I missed the end, needed some sleep. Fuck Bud Selig and his 8:40 first pitches.

I nodded off right after Swish K'ed to end the 7th, and woke up just in time to hear them doing the end-game recap. Was confident that the wheels would come off there after that infield single, and when they didn't, I figured it was just a matter of time before some other horseshit thing happened. Glad I was wrong.
