Outplayed, outcoached, outhit, outpitched. Outa here! Evil empire is gone the way of the Dodo. What kind of a sorry team loses a game five at home. I'm pretty sure TX will be favored over Detroit, but it should be close. Only agreement is Rivera is better than Valverde, bbut Valverde was the best closer in AL this year.
I think the Yankees will beat the hell out of Detroit in Game 5.
They have the better pitcher on the mound.
They have their home field.
They have MUCH more experience in these types of games.
The managers are equal, so no advantage to either side there.
I like Rivera more than Valverde.
I think the Yankees have a slight edge in hitting.
AND, the ...[text shortened]... atch up of aces on Friday.
I also think Milwaukee sends the Dbacks packing on Friday as well.

The Tigers danced on a string all night.
The Yankees had Gardner and Martin and A-Rod all make outs with the sacks juiced.
Jeter nearly left the yard to end the 8th.
And you are most worried because Nova leaves with an injury.
What a rube. What medical school did you graduate from?
Delmon Young left with a strained oblique but was winging champagne around the clubhouse.
Was he faking it too?
I will make sure to point out every time you are wrong in the future.
I am sure it will be often.
By the way dipstick, I did say I would like to see the Tigers win it, but the smart money was on the Tigers.
You don't bet, so you can't claim squat.

I would say they were more "charmed" than "invincible".
The Rangers will pose a formidable test for them.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI always end up laughing at you in spite of your much vaunted "knowledge" of the game. Now you're saying you picked the Tigers? That's rich! You are fool, but you won't admit it! You gave myriad reasons why Yankees would win. Guess what? All your reasons were wrong! You'd make a bottom feeder sports announcer in the bush league the way you pick! I am waiting for the you were right and I was wrong moment, but I doubt you would ever utter anything resembling maturity. Keep calling me dipstick and other names. I do not mind as long as you are wrong and I am right.

Dancing on a string? You said it would be a blow out Yankees win. I think who danced on a string were the Yanks. Never once led in the game. I do not argue it was very close, but where, just where was your blow out?
Nova's alleged injury was "tightness". Ha! Delmon Young's? Who cares? Young was not a starting pitcher giving up two 1st inning homers. Young was a HR hitter. No reason to fake and pull him.
Lastly. If you know so dang much how come you're wrong so often? It is really laughable how you lash out at me when I'm right! So I did not bet, but neither did you so that is about the dumbest non-argument I've ever heard.

I never said I "picked" the Tigers to win. I "picked" the Yankees to win.
I gave a long list of reasons why I thought they would win.
I said I "hoped" Detroit would win.
Why would I say that? Because I hate the Yankees, and because I like to see new blood
in the mix.
I realize this may be more than your pea can comprehend, but allow it to sink in,
and perhaps you will catch on. Too bad it won't be before you pop off again with
some ridiculous barb.

Bah! The only thing Nolan Ryan can beat is Robin Ventura.
my Dad and Nolan sat on the board of a bank together and then through one of his
business partners. When he was 50 years old, the man still did 200 push ups, 200 sit
ups and 200 squats every day. I haven't spoken with him since he took over the
Rangers, so I have no idea if he still has his daily regimen (obviously not at the same
level anyway), but the guy has always had the most amazing focus and attention to
detail. That is why I am not surprised the Rangers have been so successful under his
watch.
By the way, he bested 5,714 hitters on strikes and bested 324 teams with wins.
I would say he beat more than Ventura. 😛

Impressive; I managed to get all three Game 5 predictions wrong.
If the Brewers win the World Series, they'll muck up whodey and Wingo's "only Top 15 salary teams win it" theory. They are 17th in payroll according to ESPN. In fact, only the high spending Tigers are even in the Top Ten in salary of the teams left. And none would be considered a "big market" team except possibly the Rangers.
