He sucked horribly in the Lou, and cant win with the most powerfull lineup in baseball history. Im glad the yankers are keeping him... one more year of disapointment.

Yumcha bebe te. It depends on the context, whether its a command or whether you want to say "i drink tea" or he drinks tea (thats what bebe te is)
damn A's, only one more inning to pull it together

The Tigers prepared much better than the A's. They changed their swinging habits and were patient with the pitches. The ump had a horrible strike zone, but the hitting was superb by Detroit (especially Inge).
The A's played sloppy D that caused the 3 run inning and their hitting went back to their days in April.
Yet, this is a long series and there are more chances to kick some ass.
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!!!!

I am still in shock that the Tigers got past the Yankees. They did play very good D tonight in Oakland (was it 4 double-plays?) WOW. But I do think there is a lot of fight left in Oakland. Just an eye-opener for them. The A's did manage to sweep the Twins. Maybe that's why the A's were off tonight -- overconfident.
Maybe Detroit choked at the end of the season since they matched up better against the Yankees than the A's, thus they needed warm up games.

We need our strike out pitchers to play agains D-Town. Haren is the best at it (after Harden), but he tends to give up the long ball.
Having Harden pitch for Game 3 will get him ready for Game 7...now THAT'S pressure.

Would you cheer for Indiana Jones' Steelers...? Like...evar?

The Steelers? 
I think you know the anwser to that, but that's a completely different scenario.For me, it's all on a favorite-team basis. The only team I really dislike in the Central is the Astros. It just so happens the Cards are higher on my list than the Mets, so I gotta root for them. I know you don't hate every team in the Central, right?
And no, I won't disclose where the Cubs are on my list

That's like cheering for the Packers and Red Things in the NFL and NHL respectively. There are just some teams you can't root for based on what team you are a fan of.
