Go Tigers!

Coke made me nervous in the 9th but got the job done. Verlander is the man! Still throwing 97 mph at 130 pitches.:bgroovy:
 
Where the hell is A Rod? Verlander was freakin' awesome......... A team total .182 BA in the ALDS for the Yanks....You don't win games like that....Down 3-0, the Yanks are done....
