Go Tigers. One of my favorite memories is watching the Tigers and Athletics play the AL playoffs in 72 (or 71).

One of your favorite memories, but you don't remember when? :D

It was '72.

Now 5-3, Verlander is done, and now we're going to see Rodney in the 8th. The closer in the 8th. That usually ends well. :rolleyes:

After the first couple hits in the 8th, I muted the TV and put on the Benny Hill theme song. It's appropriate.

A lot of my favorite memories are like that. They aren't date stamped. :p

That was the series Campaneris threw the bat at the pitcher, right?

Edit: yes.

Just flipped over to the Twins game in time to see a pop up drop in for a Royals single... does anyone want to win the AL Central? You got it? No, you got it? You got it? The AL should let the Rangers win the Central.

Which means, or course, whomever survives this bunny-hop to the finish will win the AL. :)

It's only fair that one of Rodney's two blown saves cost us a playoff spot. That way, we can all ***** all offseason that we need a reliable closer.

Even if he does manage to keep the save, we would ***** about that anyways.

Okay, who do we throw on Tuesday? Do you want the rookie, Porcello, or do you take a chance on Jackson, who has not been overly sharp as of late?

Baker for MN, if we don't blow it.
