Why the hell did they pull Porcello?

I can not possibly fathom how taking out Porcello and replacing him with Miner is a good move. Miner is the most hated Tiger among Tigers fans by far. If Miner blows this game, Leyland will never hear the end of it.

While I wish they would have left Porcello in, I am a Tigers fan and I do not hate Miner (or any other player on the team).

Do you hate him now?

That's a negative.[/quote:21bqbvpg]

Wow..That is beyond dedication. I am the biggest Sox fan you can possibly find, but I hate Jason Varitek with an undying passion. Just seeing him on deck makes me nauseous.[/quote:21bqbvpg]
I have a feeling we won't be seeing much of him at all this postseason...

With that said I currently do not hate anyone on the Sox, as the ones I did hate all got traded :lol:


Anyways so far this has been a great game to watch!!

I sure do.

You should hate Leyland.[/quote:2lazz660]

I have a hard time second guessing the manager though, especially after he goes to the bullpen and the reliever gets them out of the jam.

Yeah I would have liked to have seen him leave Porcello in with the way he was pitching, but he was in a jam and in a game with this magnitude, they don't really have time to mess around.

The bullpen just isn't that good. Rodney is the most overrated closer in baseball because of his saves/opportunities number, but anyone who has watched the Tigers at all this year knows that he puts the game-tying run on base at least 4 out of 5 appearances. The middle relief is weak other than Ni and maybe Seay, and although I think Perry will be tough down the road, he has been inconsistent this year.

It's a tough situation. Luckily we have Magglio and Cabrera to bail us out over and over again.

Is this not everything you'd want from a one game playoff? What a game!

I'd like to see the twins win. More dome action!
