Sadly, Yanks will sweep the Tigers
Curtis S. October 13, 2012 at 02:20 pm
Just like they did the last two times?
John P. Morse October 13, 2012 at 02:40 pm
Hopefully your right, They have a better bullpen
Curtis S. October 13, 2012 at 03:48 pm
Yeah, but so did the Oakland A's and I don't think the Yankees bullpen is as good as the A's. We have better starting pitching and the Yankees best pitcher, S.S. Sabatha probably won't go until the fourth game, so I'm not saying we'll win the whole thing, but I'm think it will be at least a 5 game series.

You mean sadly that the Yankees will lose in 5.
Matt Lazko October 13, 2012 at 08:14 pm
Tigers in 5...!

Any other fans have predictions for the ALCS? Will Fister win Game 1? Will A-Rod be benched again?
Elisa Bidus October 13, 2012 at 08:58 pm
A Rod should be benched for life. I didn't want the Yankees to win but at the same time it was so awesome when they brought in Ibanez for A Rod and he got two HRs to win the game. What do you think that says about his playing time now?
Curtis S. October 13, 2012 at 09:31 pm
When a team is paying a guy as much as they are paying A Rod, they don't sit him for very long. I bet that he will start the first game against the Tigers.

I admit, I did not think the Tigers had a chance after Jose Valverde blew the 4-run lead in the ninth inning. Did anyone think the Tigers could come back after that? And who would have thought Delmon Young would be the hero?
Brian October 14, 2012 at 02:11 pm
I thought they were done after Valverde's meltdown. Now with Jeter getting hurt, I think Tigers win this in 4 or 5 games.
Leslie Ellis (Editor) October 14, 2012 at 02:13 pm
So bummed about Jeter. I live in a house with a die-hard Yankees fan and, if the Tigers take the series, I know he'll say that's why.
John Hetzler (Editor) October 14, 2012 at 02:22 pm
I agree about Jeter, Leslie. He's a class act (and a Michigan native, too). Plus, I don't want to hear any excuses from Yankees fans - I'd prefer to see the Tigers beat the Yankees at their best.
Brian, did you think the Tigers would win the series before Jeter was injured last night?
Brian October 14, 2012 at 02:29 pm
Yes John, I had them winning in 6 games.
Matt Lazko October 15, 2012 at 03:58 am
It's 2-0 Tigers; looks like the sweep might go the other way with Verlander and Scherzer up next at Comerica!!
Mike Trudel October 16, 2012 at 11:52 am
Hmm. That prediction isn't going so well, is it?
Mike Trudel October 16, 2012 at 12:00 pm
John, so many things had to happen for the Tigers the past two weeks to accelerate their chances ... and they've ALL happened! The A's sweep the Rangers to take the West, the Rangers lose the wild card, the Yankees beat the O's throwing almost 6 games worth of innings, and then they play Detroit without an off day. We beat them in NYC with our 3-4 starters and come home with JV and Max going. And if you dare look ahead, the Reds and Nationals have both been eliminated in the NL. It could be a very exciting next couple of weeks.
John Hetzler (Editor) October 16, 2012 at 02:01 pm
Mike, do you think the Tigers are now a team of destiny? I agree that things look great right now for the team.
