The Yankees can afford to stay calm and not worry . . . Valverde will be helping them out in the ninth.
Valverde is the tenth Yankee!
And I am a Tigers fan.
It makes me sick to see all the hard work and effort that this team puts in for eight innings just to stand by helplessly and watch Jim Leyland be stupidly loyal to a lost cause.
Miguel Cabrara was right to knock over the water cooler, and the OMG of Verlander said it all.
I mean, after he gave up the first home run to Ichiro - it was time to bring in Smyly.
Valverde needs to start working on next season with Toledo right now.
That said, he’s still the closer with most saves.
He must be drinking from the same water cooler as Ron Washington.
