Just turned it on. Looks like bad news so far for A's fans.  |

damn, just got home. I was in a realtor's office all night. This is the game that I thought had the best pitching matchup for the A's.  |

Being a Tigers' fan, of course I thought it was a great game.  The Tigers' did to Oakland exactly what they did to the Yankees: (1) They got key hits with men on base, and (2) shut down the other team's offense with excellent pitching. |

I haven't told you you yet G, Congrats. The Tigers played a hell of a season. They deserve what they are getting in the post season. The twins played a great second half, and what they did, deserves great accolades, but they were not a stong enough team for the post season, and got exposed. Should be a great series. |

I don't have a horse in this race (probably leaning Detroit, only because they've been so bad for so long) but I am absolutely stunned that with as abysmal as they are at hitting with runners in scoring position that the A's have made it this far. I haven't really followed the A's much (more of a NL fan) but they must have some pretty remarkable defense, in spite of their performance last night, in order to have made it to the ALCS.

It's nice that my team has finally given me something to root for. The drought just makes this all the sweeter. In general, Detroit (the city) has had a lot of successful teams recently (championships in the NHL, NBA and WNBA, and possibly one in MLB). Now if only we could get the Lions to not suck! |

I didn't get to follow much of the first two game (rough week - new website released at work and selling a house at home), but I like the A's chances today.   |

Tigers are on a tear so 3-0 pretty much assures a pennant. FWIW, I'm predicting Mets & Tigers in the Series. Take it to the bank. |

It's amazing how good the Tigers are at getting hits when it counts (i.e. when men are on base).
They just picked up where they left off in Oakland.

Yeah, the Tigers have been steamrolling almost the entire playoffs.
[sigh] 3-0 now. I bet Harden will be pulled sometime in the 6th.

How about that Kenny Rogers pitching another shutout? Unbelievable.

Wow, the A's were held to only 2 hits.  The Tigers are a juggernaut no doubt. |
