Didn't realize the 2/3 format was coming back... Rooting A's all the way, but they need that road split (at least) with Verlander pitching 1 & 5.

There's an A's bar in Brooklyn I went to for the last 3 innings yesterday. I would be hanging out there for a lotta the games if I didn't have to skip my prescribed narcotic to drink beer. :/

“Detroit, they have pretty good fans,” Sanchez said. “Tigers fans really cheer for the team. They support the team and give you a loud ovation for everything. But the fans here are so loud … you can’t hear anything from your teammates, so you just hear fans yell. But it’s really fun.”

Is this the most enthusiastic group of latecomers? I remember a Friday night game in mid September when over half of those filled seats were empty.
― Andy K, Friday, 12 October 2012 04:16 (thirteen years ago)
Verlander is for real, I've never watched him pitch before crazily. Insane control.

he is the best. also the Tigers' MVP.
Maybe A's can get a 2-2-1 format next time and THAT shit will work in the playoffs.

Such great, contrasting post-game scenes between the Tigers and the A's/A's fans.
― Andy K, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:08 (thirteen years ago)
Verlander is really kinda unfair. :( Still A's gave it a series if not for a Coco bobble...

Disappointed I couldn't get this last night--had planned to tune in right after the debate. If Oakland had won, I wouldn't have minded at all after their amazing comeback the night before. Anyway, I didn't realize Verlander's start was, historically, this impressive (from SweetSpot):
Verlander’s Game Score of 89 was the highest ever in a "sudden death" game. The previous best was Sandy Koufax’s three-hit, 10-strikeout shutout in Game 7 of the 1965 World Series, which scored an 88. Checking in at 84 were Chris Carpenter’s three-hit shutout last year against the Phillies and Jack Morris’ 10-inning masterpiece in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series. Ralph Terry scored an 83 in the 1962 World Series Game 7, while Cliff Lee (2010 ALDS) and John Smoltz (1991 NLCS) scored 82s. The only others at 80: Orel Hershiser (1988 NLCS), Bob Gibson (1967 World Series) and Dizzy Dean (1934 World Series).
Ahead of Koufax, Gibson, and Morris's famous game.

Morris would have pitched to the score last night.
