Instead of the Yankees sending C.C. Sabathia out to the mound this evening for game #4 in Detroit, the Yankees should hang his underpants on a bat and have A-Rod wave it from the dugout. This series is done. Even by the accounts of Tigers fans, who like any other fan in baseball, has a deep down fear of the Yankees, can see the giant oak tree falling to the ground. I can’t say enough about the pitching for both teams tonight, but once again Justin Verlander was just to good. Think what you want about Jeter being out, Swisher being benched, A-Rod sitting because his dick is getting in the way of his stroke, the Tiger pitching has dominated the opposing players on the field and in the dugout. New York may win the next game, maybe even two games, but start spreading the news, this series is over.
Today’s afternoon game on FOX has a Matt Cain driving the train for San Francisco into St. Louis against Kyle Lohse for the hometown Cardinals. Busch Stadium is going to be rocking with the greatest fans in the world, rumor has it that Chuck Berry will play the anthem on his guitar and Toby Keith is going to belt out the seventh inning stretch, oh wait wrong ballpark. This series is tied up at one apiece and I could see it going back to the bay area for game six and seven. Pitching will win out every time and as I stated at the beginning of the playoffs, I like the Giants all the way.
