Like religion, the game of baseball is founded on aspirations rarely met. It generates far more failure than fulfillment.

To those pulling for an A's-O's ALCS: Oh well. Like oxygen in the air we breathe, the Yankees are back in the ALCS, against the Tigers, who are led by Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder (The One That Got Away). Which team will win the right to play the Cardinals in the 2012 World Series?

Stanford just got robbed there. Brutal.
Number of comments in this thread is pretty telling about how many shits we give about this series.
Yeah. Go Tigers.
Okay, this is getting a little interesting. 4-2 Tigers in the 9th, one on, two down...and Raul Ibanez up.
Ha ha, wow. Tie game on ANOTHER home run for Ibanez.
RAUUUUUL!!
Holy fucking shit. What a collapse by the Tigers.
At this stage, I would have to say Jose Valverde is NOT the closer the Tigers should pitch.
Russell Martin thisclose to becoming a True Yankee.
Cat Latos!
Jeter with a broken Jeter. Will miss the rest of the Jeterseason.
Brutal outcome for the YankMes. Baseball is a cruel, cruel sport.
