Weeee!... i watched those last 2 games and i couldn't believe that the Yankees have to lose that way! Seems they did not want to win at all. UNREAL! 8-o

The Tigers were more aggressive in all aspects of the game specially the pitchers Rogers and Bonderman. WTG!

Congrats again for a job well done!

Appreciate the thanks. We Tigers fans have had an enbelieveable season. I hope that be the end of our run time will allow for people to realize it wasn't how the Yankees lost, but how the Tigers won.

When the Tigers didn't fold in game two and Zumaya came out of the pen and mowed down hitters like they were pop warner kids the Yankees were in shock.....and, I think, a little bit afraid that they had met their match. Look at what the Tigers did to them:
Had Zumaya throwing flames at such velocity that it made Verlander look average. So they beat them with shear power.
Then they follow that with Rogers, who can't throw 90 and had a killer curve going. Now they're baffled.
Then comes Bonderman throwing mid 90s and he brings his nasty slider. End of Series.

The Yankees vaunted hitters were simply over-matched. This is how the Tigers won 95 games this season. Great pitching performances.

Not only beating the Yankees, but dominating them into an offseason of panic is a thing of beauty. The Yankees were a playoff staple and even winning some championships while the Tigers struggled for so long. I expect the A's to be a challenge. They are more complete as a team than the Yankees. The A's actually have pitching. Their offense doesn't look as great on paper 1-9 as the Yankees (not even close) but they are sneaky. This is a big series (obviously). But even moreso, because none of the NL teams scare me in the least. IMO, whoever wins the AL has to be favorites in the World Series.
