DETROIT, MI - OCTOBER 12: Nelson Cruz #17 of the Texas Rangers celebrates in the dugout after a three-run home run in the 11th inning of Game Four of the American League Championship Series to take a 7-3 lead over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on October 12, 2011 in Detroit, Michigan.

3. Horrible.

:cry:

It's extremely upsetting.

2. As long as it doesn't come from Will Rogers State Park in Santa Monica

where George Michael was infamously busted for solicitation ("cruisin'"). :eyes:

It looked like that $%^&%$^&#!! runner was running backwards on a treadmill like George Jetson. If he had the speed of a land tortoise, we might actually have a series instead of a travesty. And those bozos beat the Yankees?! :wtf:

6. One has to wonder why Cabrera wasn't pinch run for

this is the ALCS, you go for the win right there..I guess Leyland was returning the favor Washington did for him by intentionally walking Cabrera to begin with..

8. So help me, I thought I was watching the fat kid from "The Bad News Bears"

:banghead:

4. Boy, it's really going to chafe the HATER'S asses if Dallas has ANOTHER team

in the finals of a major sport!!

:rofl:

5. Tigers don't deserve to win this series..

They've had leads going into the later innings in games 2 & 4 and lost them both..and in the 8th inning last night they were unable to take advantage of a runner on third less than 2 out situation after Ron Washington had rather stupidly intentionally walked the winning run on base..

7. I wish we could overcome the injuries.

I feel snakebit.

9. We'll let them know, Upton

That way, if they pull it off, they can gracefully decline. I mean, if you don't deserve it (and, according to you Detroit never deserves anything), you shouldn't play the series. Because that's how it works.

10. I haven't heard any whining from Upton about the Lions playing on Thanksgiving Dad.

Hmmm.

[Upton]

12. Nice of you to misrepresent my post..

I never said the Tigers didn't belong in the ALCS. They earned it, but I think you'll agree they've blown several opportunities in the first 4 games to at least have this series tied if not have a 3-1 lead themselves..

However, since you wish to play games..here's something Detroit truly deserves.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/05/most-dangerous-cities-in-america_n_996639.html

13. What does that have to do with Detroit not deserving to win this series?

I mean, suppose the Tigers somehow overcome the injuries and win the next three games? Should they turn down the WS bids because of some blown opportunities? THAT is what you implied.

[Upton]

14. I know injuries have played a part..

My implication, you refer to, is based on the first 4 games. Now if by some chance the Tigers come back and win the series, they'll fully deserve it. Stop jumping to conclusions.

15. That's really classy of you, Upton.

Real nice.

11. Another unparalleled achievement!

Nelson Cruz became the first player in major league history to hit a pair of extra-inning homers in the same postseason series. And he was the first to hit a walk-off grand slam.
