Why is Jason Werth yelling?

Am I the only one who likes Detroit?

I don't hate them or anything, but the A's are awesome.

[J.R.]

I like Detroit, but the A's are Major League in real life.

I like Detroit but I like the A's more.

Two late, epic at-bats in today's NL games. Werth cashed in and Bruce could not.

4 games straight if you count last night.

I want the Orioles to win for obvious reasons but forcing them winning would force a 4th game 5 and that would be awesome.

It's more about liking the As than hating Detroit. That said while the Tigers are the Detroit team I'm most indifferent about, it's still a Detroit team and I have to remind myself these are also Lions, Wings and Pistons fans.

I just love Miggy and Prince. Two studs who are very fan friendly, at least here in KC. Verlander is a total toolbox tho.

I feel like there have been a lot of long AB's today. 10+ pitch AB's is one of my favorite things in sports.

For sure. Last year we had 19 out of 20 possible LDS games and we're going to have at least 19 this year. 4 game 5s would be amazing.

Holy crap, my sentence was all kinds of awful.

If the Yanks are destined to win I want it to be on an Ibanez homer.

I like the A's, but I want the team that has the best chances of taking the Yankees out to advance. IMO, that team is Detroit.

 

It's be sweet of the O's beat NY, but I am not holding my breath on that one.

Im too lazy to look it up, but wasn't Jerry Blevins who the Cubs traded to get Jason Kendall?

[Brian]

JJ!

[bcl412]

Too bad the Tigers busted it open. It would have been nice if every game today was decided on the last at bat. Regardless, this has been an incredible couple of days of baseball.

Yep. And Josh Donaldson was in the Rich Harden deal.

[Brian]

It's former Cubs lefty prospects night!

[Guest]

Looks like the A's are done. Orioles take the lead, though. Hopefully Johnson can close this thing out.

[Brian]

I wasn't on the bandwagon, but the O's dugout shenanigans are turning me.

[UMFan83]

Why do I get the feeling that the Orioles are about to give up 2 runs to lose the series?

[El Duderino]

Jim Johnson again?

Because you are a Cubs fan therefore you are naturally pessimistic when it comes to baseball.

 

That and that's what is about to happen here.
