Marquee pitching matchup of the playoffs IMHO.
Predicted lines for the two... Verlander - 7-2/3 IP 4 H 2 ER 9 K 1 BB Sabathia - 6-1/3 IP 7 H 4 ER 6 K 3 BB Tigers 6 Yankees 3 |

at 10:56 AM, Friday September 30, 2011 EDT Simmons used to be 90% awesome 10% mediocre, he has fallen down to 40% awesome 20% mediocre and 40% just terribad.
The biggest problem for Verlander in this game is going to be his pitch count, he could go 6 innings strike out 12 give up no runs and still have to throw 120 pitches just because of how the Yankees can work pitchers. If he can get through 7 innings I would think the Tigers will win the game. |

at 11:11 AM, Friday September 30, 2011 EDT Simmons makes me laugh which is why I enjoy reading his columns so much, especially if it's a running diary or a fan mailbag.
Sabathia has been terrible the last month of the season and I don't expect to be lights out at all. I think I'm being generous with him making it to the 6th inning, but we'll see in about 8 hours. |

at 1:04 PM, Friday September 30, 2011 EDT grow the fuck up Thrax. Yanks will win...Verlander's line looks close, but as far as Cecil I see him going at least 7, and giving up 2 runs MAX. this game will be decided in the 8th, I'm thinking Yanks take it 4-2

at 1:05 PM, Friday September 30, 2011 EDT yah simmons is good. agree with sam though, he used to be 90% good, 10% boston. now hes like 40% good, 60% boston. ofc, that works out for you in nba-land i guess thrax.
glad he started grantland though. much more entertaining read to see him curse and talk openly about gambling. |
