      Aw, Christ. Here we go again.

      Phil Coke after two errors is a better option here than half-blonde-beard boy. Hell, Virgil Trucks is a better option, and he just died this year.

          No, not the broadcaster.

          7-5 O-faces, end game.

          **** you, Valverde. Get your *** in the clubhouse and cry some more, just like you did in the dugout in the World Series.

            That was a pathetic ending to an otherwise good game by Max and the rest of the Tigers.

              Right now I'd take Aurelio Lopez over Valverde.

                So, Leyland said in the post-game that it was a no brainer to bring Valverde in for the 9th. But is it a no brainer to leave him in when he gives up a homer and two singles to start the inning? Why would you not have someone going in the pen and yank Valverde after that kind of a start in the 9th when he's trying to close out the game?

                    The resurrection of Aurelio Lopez. That would be some kind of a pitching change!

                      Shannon Hogan, I love your rack, and I would love to do nasty things to you, but please do not sit there and tell me to "give Valverde credit" about ANYTHING after this god**** debacle.

                        I'm well aware. And I fail to see any drawback here.

                            Right, I understand he's the CLOSER. Now I'm just a fan, not a real great student of the game; but, I'm still wondering: Why would you not have someone going in the bullpen so you could yank Valverde after his terrible start in the 9th inning? I think Mario (FSD) said there was no one going in the bullpen when Valverde got in trouble. I was curious if this is common practice for MLB teams to not have anyone throwing once the "CLOSER" has hit the field? I think if any other reliever had been out there and given up a home run and two singles straight off, like Valverde did, they would have gotten the hook. Of course, you never know.

                              Most teams, when their closer is in the game, put the bullpen away for the duration.

                              Because the closer closes the game. No one else can, because he's the closer. Can't have anyone else closing games, or even up in the bullpen, because it might the closer's widdle feewings. (I'm sure at this point you can feel the sarcasm dripping off of my laptop)

                              That and the fact that Valverde can get himself into trouble like this in about 3.1 pitches, and by the time we get someone else up and ready, half-blonde-beard-boy would have already given up about 7 runs and it would have been too late anyway.

                              Can we fish Ugie Urbina out of prison? I don't want him to close. I want him to go visit Valverde with his flaming machetes that got him thrown in a Venezuelan clink in the first place.

                                According to Wikipedia, from an article in the NYDailyNews, Urbina was released in Dec. 2012. So, he is available and might need the work, whether throwing "flaming machetes," "baseballs," or as bigmrg74 suggested, "breaking Valverde's knee."
