Thanks for this thread, cripplecreek!

PING to some FReeper baseball fans...

[cripplecreek]

This Tigers, Yankee game is screwy. They should have never tried last night.

Wasted two of the best pitchers in the game for game one and screwed things up for the rest of the post season.

[cripplecreek]

Rangers up 5-3 over Tampa in the top of the 6th.

Tigers and Yankees still tied at 1 in the top of the 4th.

[Mears]

In mourning here.

Adios,Tito.

p.s. Thanks for the ping.

[cripplecreek]

Rangers up 7-3 over Tampa

Yankees and Tigers still tied at 1 in the bottom of the 5th. Fister doing better than these commentators expected.

Reviewing long ball by Granderson, maybe 2-1 yankees.

[cripplecreek]

2-1 yankees and it was Cano. RBI double

[cripplecreek]

Tampa coming back to within one bases loaded no outs. 7-6 rangers

I have cable and watching on TBS. Local ESPN radio affiliates not really carrying these games, but I have XM satellite and can get them that way. I work nights during the week. I’m sure the local ESPN rad. affiliates will pick up ALCS, NLCS,
WS though...

Last night in Boston the local sports radio was all over the firing, er, non-renewal of Francona’s contract. The latest I’m getting via tweets is that the 1908 World Champions from Chicago’s Northside may be getting permission to talk to
Red Sox GM Theo Epstein

[raccoonradio]

Dan Roche of WBZ radio/TV Boston is denying the “Cubs talk with Theo” rumors... but who knows.

My "knee-jerk" reaction to that statement: Good riddance Theo!

Grrr... Skankees up 4 to 1 vs Detroit...

[cripplecreek]

Yankees are going to need a lot more than 4 to stay safe. Tigers are one of the top come from behind teams this season.

[Ransomed]

Cano brings the thunder!

Freegards (thanks for the thread)

[raccoonradio]

Now the Tigers will need at least 7...as I watched the Rangers add another run via HR bottom of screen says Yanks up 8-1.

Red Sox fan and you can guess who I’m NOT cheering for. Groan.

[cripplecreek]

Crap.

I’m kind of confused on how this works. Since this is a continued game do last night’s pitchers get the credit for this game?
