Peavy getting squeezed on pitches.

Joe West behind the plate?

Big inning for the Tigers. Pedroia boots an easy double play ball.

I never cared for Umpires calling the runner out even when the guy covering second doesn’t have his foot on the bag.

If he was playing at 100%, DET could very well have swept the series.

Cabrera had his career year. Likely not going to have many of these.

Before this game is over, Fister is going to get roped.

“Peavy getting squeezed on pitches.”

He was squeezed so hard he sh*t himself. Best 2 out of 3 now.

I changed the channel; watching Nazis on Military Channel.

I’m out.

The Ump just gave a gift to Fister.

You turned off the game the other night when the Tigers were up by 5 and they lost by 1.

I believe Fister leads the league in hit batters.

Yeah, it’s been a tough year, I don’t need extra stress...

Not watching. Flipped to “Nazis vs. Aliens”.

“Cabrera had his career year. Likely not going to have many of these.”

Ehhh, I don’t know about that; he came close to winning consecutive Triple Crowns.

It was a looping high 3rd strike called and out of the zone against Victorino.

This game’s lost; Farrell needs to start thinking “game 4”.

Fox Sports emoted all over the place for slumping the Austin Jackson. Fox: yeaaaaah, Jackson gets a walk - it’s an RBI too LoL.

Ed Lauter, dies at 74. RIP. Great body of work.

Lester needs to “Cowboy Up” tonight.

Farrell needs to bench Drew - he’s useless. Put Bogaerts in; can’t be any worse.

And let’s be real here, if Peavy didn’t royally sh*t himself, BOS wins last night. Spare us the BS about moving Jackson down in the lineup. Please...

Shame about Lauter.

He was a damn fine character actor, and always played a convincing role, no matter what they cast him as.

The article said it best - “instantly recognizable”. Guys like Lauter are the backbone of movies for years and years.

Prayers out for his family. Sucks losing people.

Amen. He was even good it that goofball flick “Not Another Teen Movie”. - Ed Lauter as ‘The Coach’.

“Sucks losing people.” Yep. Seems like its on the uptick. :(

It was a looping high 3rd strike called and out of the zone against Victorino.

The strike zone graph showed by the announcers says you were wrong with that proclamation, that it dropped in perfectly. Quit your whining, you've gotten a lot of the same kind of calls, it's all evened out, you lost because you finally got pounded for seven runs, heck it could have been more without some "bad" strike calls on the Tigers. Frankly, you're lucky to be tied and the ALCS could have been already over.

Looks to me like the Tigers are simply a better team, and if they win, it won't be pretty to watch the liberal Red Sox fan base whine for the rest of their lives.
