Tigers in 5! Verlander will be the guy.
Yankees in 4. Tigers are fading fast.
Game one hosts Robertson vs. Wang. Do you guys like these choices? Or could either team have come up with better Game 1 starters?
Wang is definetly the best choice for the Yankees. Robertson, not so much. Verlander should have been #1.
Robertson is pitching better than Verlander right now: all of Robertson's starts since the start of August have been quality aside from 2 of them. Good move.
Not really. Verlander is explosive, and he is undoubtedly the teams best pitcher. Plus conventional wisdom would say you throw your best pitcher Game 1 anyway. The Game 2 pitcher should be the one on a hot streak, because he may be called on to stop the team from going down 0-2, and he would be the Game 5 starter.
But if you have your "hot streak" pitcher in Game 1, you stand a better chance of going up 1-0.
I would go with Bonderman in Game 1.

Derek Jeter decided to pwn the Tigers yesterday. They didnt have an answer for him.

Tonight NYY goes up 2-0. Our offense plus the crowd will overpower Verlander, with Mussina giving us 6 innings of 3 run baseball. Proctor, Farnsy, and Mo will close it out again.
The Tigers have to figure out a way to get to the Starters quickly and use their superior bullpen to their advantage.

Verlander was throwing some heat yesterday. He completely fooled AROD with that change up in the 1st though.

Phil Niekro wuld complete fool ARod at this point- he'd be looking for the fastball.Originally Posted by Porter99
Congrats Tiger fans, your team has taken it to us and deserves to win this series. Our overpaid, overrate dlineup can't score runs while your lineup which is supposed to be what holds you back is scoring plenty. good luck in the ALCS.
Junc,
I just think that the team with the best team ERA in the AL this season is trumping that dangerous Yankee Lineup.
