Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Detroit moves on to ALCS! Yankees see early exit again!

Rejoice! The Yankees have fallen early once again in the playoffs.

 

The Tigers pulled off a nailbiter and won 3-2 to advance to the ALCS and face the Rangers!

Let's use this thread to rejoice. And for me to toil thru the pregame picks results.

The Halos have never done that but hey, we got a title and they don’t… for now.

Rec'd for the truth that shall remain not spoken

Of course, before the season began, it was supposed to be the bosux vs. phillies.
So, why did we even play the games?

Hey f-holes, you know what?!!?
Maybe this is the outcome that some Tiger fans wanted!
Maybe this is the time to sing the praises of the winning team…

But what do you do instead?
You butt/cock slurp the yankee fans…

Supposedly, the Rangers have trouble winning games in Detroit so I have heard.

Napoli's 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th homers of the year (four more than Jeff Mathis' career total) rained down on Angel Stadium like knives from the ceiling.

Rangers seem to play better on the road than at home

Problem? Rangers went 0 for 6 at Detroit this season.

Tigers in 6.

642 win % vs 543 home/road

plus a 100/80 run differential home/road.

I’d say they were considerably better at home.

Unless you meant “they seem better” in the Lyle Spencer meaning of the phrase.

I love this team.

Sorta LS

Sorta not. So far this postseason and last postseason, Texas doesn’t seem to do well on their own field contrary to their successes during the regular season.

I’m wondering if their lack of success against (and in) Detroit during the reg. season will translate over to the postseason or will they continue to be road warriors.

I should also add that my statement above (in bold) should be during the postseason.

I wouldn't read too much into that.

It’s a small sample size and in the postseason, teams typically play some tough competition.

Vernon Wells 2011 Stats (.218/.248/.412) and 2010 road stats (.224/.299/.400). The front office shouldn't have been surprised.

So, there's the BRILLIANCE of the Wells deal:

“we only do four year deals!”

Wow, that’s shocking that the Yanks have A-Rod until 2017! Holy sheet. I haven’t paid much attention to the Yanks this year – isn’t A-Rod injured and that’s why he looks worse than Vernon Wells?

I love this team.
