tie game now!

He's still the #2. Holland #3, Harrison #4, Ogando back to the bullpen.

Not surprising that Colby Lewis would serve up somebody's first homerun of the season, in the last week of the season.

Is he our number 2 or 3 starter in the playoffs? I am not so sure he will be our number 2.

I know we all harp on Kinsler from time to time for swinging for the fences and aside from his .250 batting average - he's put together a helluva year. Kinsler became the first second baseman in AL history to have 30 home runs, 30 doubles, 100 runs scored and 80 walks in the same season.

In many ways Detriot looks kinda like the Rangers of last year. A good batting order and an ace at the mound. Verlander IMO should get the AL MVP, he's just been lights out this year. The Yankees dont scare me. Its about the same team that we faced last year in the ALCS. They dont have any consistent starting pitchers after Sabathia. The batting order is the same from a year ago. If Wilson, Ogando, Lewis, and Harrison are pitching well then I think we can take them.

Booooooooooooooooooooom, headshot.

More importantly, they're playing really good baseball.

Heck, even when Detroit hasn't been lights out like they have been lately, they've still had the Rangers number.

The Yankees for some reason don't really scare me. But Detroit does. Maybe its the fact that we're 0-6 against them this year...and we've sucked balls against them the last few years.

i couldn't agree more.

As of right now, we are facing the Yankees.

They lead the series this year 7-2.

I think we match up better with them than with Detroit. I think it is a good idea to try and stay away from Verlander

Nice ass kicking by the Rangers last night.

Still a 5 game lead!

[TRAXX]

Yep, Angels suffered a walk off loss at Toronto. This one is pretty much in the books now. Let the playoffs begin!

Knock on wood! Dont say it yet!

The fat lady is warming up though.

Easy now.

Everyone is saying stay away from Verlander because all of the goddamn talking heads are saying that. In actuality, the entire team is "firing on all 11 cylinders" or whatever colloquialism you wish to use. The Tigers could very well win it all.

Agreed. They've been playing great baseball for the entire second half of the season and have plenty of pitching for a playoff series.
