This was a team effort, and the comeback was just too little, just too late.<br /><br />But we've won games started by Verlander 3 times this season, including Game 1. I'm concerned, but not worried.

Scherzer(sp) pitched a brillant game, a no hitter into the 6th, so that tells me that EVERY YANKEE IN THE LINEUP had a difficult time against him, not just Alex. Jeter has a tough day at the plate and commits a HUGE error in the game to plate two more runs, but he gets a pass? Could you imagine what grief Alex would have gotten in the media if HE committed the error? Why can't give Detroit its due and recognize that pitched better and got the key hits when needed, just like we did on Saturday. No that would just make too much sense. It's insulting. These guys sound more like one of those crazy fans calling the talk shows at 3am.BrooklynGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831965686798077800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-33754267100364220452011-10-03T11:24:49.810-04:002011-10-03T11:24:49.810-04:00I agree with you also, Lisa.

It's no longer A-Rod's or Jeter's Yankees. It's more Granderson and Cano this season.<br /> I just hope they win tonight and A.J. is just crazy enough to show up with his good stuff!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654795220289507100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-46012908473974390242011-10-03T09:57:03.718-04:002011-10-03T09:57:03.718-04:00Totally agree with you Lisa about fans booing the ...Totally agree with you Lisa about fans booing the players; I can't say I have never done it but not in the playoffs and only to Kyle Farnsworth and Sergio Mitre. <br /><br />Otherwise, A-rod did make comments before the playoffs that he told ESPN <br /><br />"I see the postseason as an opportunity," Rodriguez said. "An opportunity to strike."<br /><br />So, when he makes statements like the above it just gives the fans more ignition to fuel the fire. <br /><br />The Yankees need to win tonight, and according to the Tigers closer, the ALDS is already over and won't come back to New York. <br /><br />Let's hope Yankee fans will be dancing all over Valverde in the end......Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913364882014201332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-20689074795154765202011-10-03T09:02:24.180-04:002011-10-03T09:02:24.180-04:00Well said.

Here's the conversation I had in my head during his last couple of at bats.<br /><br />"Oh crap, Jeter's coming up with runners on again. Please, Derek, just don't strike out." He strikes out. Again. Of course he does.<br /><br />Cano is the best hitter on the team right now. But can he carry the team for two more wins single-handedly? I guess we'll see. But it would be nice if Alex, Curtis, Tex and yes, Jeter, would wake up and contribute something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
