Scherzer is basically a younger version of Burnett. A complete knucklehead who generally is a pretty good pitcher when his head is screwed on properly.

That was a rocket from Kelly and just happened to be hit to just about the only place in the ballpark where it could be fielded. Still don't get why Ordonez wasn't in there (at least my man can draw a walk occasionally) and hope Betemit never sees another game in a Tigers uniform. You know a guy stinks when a Tigers fan is basically begging for Brandon Inge to be inserted in the lineup.

Horseyofcoursey says 50/50 on Thursday. I beg to differ. Hard to come back from a big game at home where the Tigers were as bad as they were last night.

I would just counter slot dirt is that it's post season baseball. It's completely unpredictable. AJ Burnett saves the Yankee season (yes with help from Granderson) and Ben Francisco saves the Philly season (who would have predicted that he perhaps gets the hit of the series for Philly). Anyone that thinks they have any idea how Thursday's game will go is lying. It could be the one game out of 30 where Austin Jackson gets 4 hits or the game where Posada hits a grand slam.

Austin Jackson actually hasn't been horrid except for game one. Has looked like an honest to goodness leadoff guy.

Terry Francona to be in the booth with Joe Buck for games 1 and 2 of the ALCS. Tim McCarver having a heart procedure and will not be available.

Could be interesting, could be a train wreck.

Even though its crazy, lets see if the comeback kids can win three in a row. Go Dbacks.

Not at all happy with the Crew's performance last 2 days. They were throwing batting practice pitches.

D-back fans are pretty weak though, didn't even sell out the stadium and gave away a black hanes t-shirt, really?
