SF Giants wins 2nd World Series in 3 years, sweeps Detroit Tigers. Sandoval MVP.

Ushers in Yankee Stadium were instructed to move fans to lower levels so there wouldn't be so many empty seats viewable on television.

On a Saturday.

For a playoff game.

It was funny to watch Girardi try to make the blown call out to be worse than it really was.

Even Miami Heat fans are better than that. JML897

Whoa now. Heat fans show up to the games. Midway in the 2nd quarter in their baggy, white, cloth pants and shirt. And then leave at the end of the 3rd quarter...

Love seeing the Yanks down 2-0, but the Tigers need to not allow them back in this series. If the Yanks get the next 2 then they can easily win the series. TheWalkingGhost

No but really i see tix are $60 for ALCS Game 6, that's not that bad at all what's the deal? Even i could pay for that X360PS3AMD05

Damn. The cheapest I can get tickets at Comerica Park on StubHub is $94 unless I want standing room, and even then it's $84 minimum. Tickets are $100 a piece through the Tiger's website. I'd be going to a game if I could get tickets for $60. :P

With Verlander and Scherzer up for the next 2 games it's going to be twice as difficult for the Yankees to come back. Factor in the fact that the next 3 games are in Detroit and it shoots up to 4 times as difficult as the first 2 games.Toxic-Seahorse

Detroit better sweep and hope the NLDS goes 6 or 7 games. Verlander threw an insane amount of pitches tonight.

Hey, a Yankees offense sighting...Master_Live

This series is over. The only question is how many more games it takes Detroit to move on to the WS. I would not be surprised one bit if Detroit finishes the sweep tomorrow even with CC pitching.

So what's up with A-Rod? Is he done?

Amazing that a guy with 114 career WAR and 647 homeruns has a worse reputation than a guy with 77.6 WAR and 255 homeruns (Jeter). [QUOTE="Blabadon"]To add to what Master_Live said, I would have defended Miggy's case even more if I wasn't suspended here. Tigers starters at an 0.94 ERA total. Feels good man.X360PS3AMD05

lolololol If the Yanks want to pay all of A-Rod's contract AND take Heath Bar Bell off our hands, then sure, bring the little dookie down here to Miami. He sucks, but he'd be better than anything we can throw out at 3rd base to be honest.

And lol at the notion he'd play 1st base. He'll play 3rd in Miami.

2-0 Tigers, Yankees' batting now. CC did an excellent job of controlling bases loaded situations though. Blabadon

Girardi logic:

1. Rodriguez is struggling (3-23). Bench Rodriguez, start Chavez.
2. Chavez is struggling even worse (0-14). Stick with Chavez.

This series is over. Can't see them socring 5 now. Miggy 2 run shot, 4-0 Tigers.

6-0. Another 2-run shot.

6-0. Another 2-run shot.

I bet Leyland praying that the Yankees get a hit soon. Very tough to take a guy out while throwing a no-hitter. They won't let him throw 120+ pitches with the WS coming up.

Add to that his shoulder problems this season. Doubt he even gets to 100 pitches.

Hitting on girls looks bad, but most of the time in the dugout is unproductive, what good can you possibly do? They said even Jeter has used memorabilia to bag girls, inconsistent? X360PS3AMD05

Verlander/Scherzer/Fister, that could do some damage. Master_Live

Funny, sweeping might end up hurting the Tigers with the long break. [QUOTE="Master_Live"]Verlander/Scherzer/Fister, that could do some damage. Master_Live

Six more outs and the Tigers have a very long layoff till the 1st game of the WS.

The Yanks hitters were totally hopeless, Tigers simply dominated. What an embarrasment. Congrats to the Tigers.

I'm sure Cashman will start the team evaluation right away, lets see. Yankees free agents:

• Ichiro: Should be back on a 1 year deal. Hit well with the Yanks, better right fielder than Swisher.
• Derek Lowe: 1 year if not out.
• Mariano Rivera: Whatever he wants, if he can come back to shape that makes our bullpen that much better with Soriano going back to the 8th, Robertson the 7th.
• Robinson Cano (club option): Will be back of course.
• Nick Swisher: Out, his October woes are to much. Ichiro replace him.
• Granderson (club option): Will be back, too much power and speed.
• Kuroda: Better get the guy sign right away.
• Russell Martin: Will be back unless we get some game changer like Joe Mauer (more on that later).
• Freddy Garcia: 1 year if not out.
• Phil Hughes: 1 or 2 years if not out.
• Andruw Jones: Out.
• Pettite: 1 year deal.
• Raul Ibanez: Should be back as DH/Pinch hitter.
• Eric Chavez: 1 year deal, should be back to offer some "relieve" for A-Rod at 3rd.

Other Evaluations:

• Jeter is out 4 to 5 months, should be ready for Opening Day.
• Alex Rodriguez: I believe his ceiling is .270/25 HR, not nearly enough for was he is making but it is what it is. I think Cashman will make some calls to see what is out there but this your fathers Yankees, they won't eat his contract just to see him play somewhere else. But if things get ugly early I expect him out by mid season.
• Pineda should be back by spring training.

Starting pitching should look like this:

1. CC
2. Kuroda
3. Pineda
4. Pettite
5. Nova
6. Hughes/Garcia/Lowe

Free agents, trades to evaluate:

1. Josh Hamilton: this shall tell you how desperate the Yankees really are.
2. Michael Bourn
3. Torii Hunter
4. BJ Upton
5. Ryan Dempster
6. Zack Greinke
7. Edwin Jackson
8. Kyle Lohse
9. Anibal Sanchez
10. James Shield (trade): Will the Rays trade intra division? Price will be steep.
11. Joe Mauer (trade): Depending the level of panic, Cashman might offer to take the whole contract out of the Twins hand.

Go Cardinals. lol, 2 wild card teams will represent the 2012 world series.PSP107

I'm sure the Tigers want to avenge that 06' lost against the Cardinals.
