I'm pulling for the Rangers, but I fully expect Detroit to win tomorrow. You'd think Verlander is going to go out there and pitch the game of his life.
However, if Texas beats Verlander tomorrow again, then I think it's safe to say they will win the World Series. |

Sticking with my original pick, Brewers vs Texas, but I rather see Brewers vs Verlanders

Leyland is literally putting the entire season on Verlander. Valverde and Benoit are not available today.

legend and I were talking about how players don't show any emotion in baseball, which makes Njer Morgan the most vilified player. What if players showed emotion?
What if a batter made the motion for the crowd to get loud when the bases were loaded? What if someone hit a home run and took out a flipcam and recorded it? What if a pitcher did the Hogan posedown after a key strikeout? |

Good move considering he's been working with Theo ever since Theo joined in 2002 and originally was meant to replace him when Theo "quit" in 2005.
Tigers are going to struggle a lot today in making Verlander have to carry the team once Leyland said no setup man or closer would be available. Its bad enough that Verlander has struggled a bit in comparison to the regular season and hasn't been as great although the rain delays messed up his pitch schedule the most. |

Rangers are ready to give CC Sabathia a boatload of money if he opts out of his deal.
Oh, and Lance Berkman and Jacoby Ellsbury are your Comback Players of the Year. |

The city of Boston should be embarrassed. Smear the names of the two people who brought you two titles in seven years? Wow. I would be outraged at the Boston owners and media if I were a Red Sox fan. They should build statues for Francona and Epstein right now.

Also, I realize Theo is not to big on giving long contracts to guys over 30, but Puljos is unstoppable right now and his post season numbers are some of the best in the history of the game.

Looks like there could be some issues with the Cubs attempt at getting Theo Epstien.
The club is having a problem creating a list of potential low level prospects that would be any good or even be taken by the Red Sox in the deal. The main problem is creating the actual list because nobody in Cubs management has agreed to which prospects are possible while locking away too many right now. Theo is also still in Boston working with the GM to find a new manager and is still negotiating to bring some staff with him to Chicago. Its assumed he will get 2 low to mid-level staff members like previous GMs and managers were allowed when they left. |

I'd think Theo would rather go after Prince, than Pujols.
In reality, I really DO wonder if Theo would go after both CC and Fielder, and if he could actually sign them both. The Cubs would have to pay a lot extra for all the fabric that will go into making their uniforms, but...it'd be worth it. |

And Nova........ well don't get me wrong I really do love the guy, but it was his first year. You remember another rookie that had a really good year by the name of Joba Chamberlain? Now , I am not saying that Nova is gonna end up like that. God, I hope not. It's simple we're gonna need a number 1 and if CC goes I am afraid we are gonna need to empty our farm to get him. Or they could just take their chances with CJ Wilson being their number 1 if CC leaves. |

It COULD happen, I mean, if Theo Epstein finally does go to the Cubs, he's going to want to make an impact fast, make a "splash", because of the pressure and expectations.

I know I think you got confused. What scared me was the fact that CC and Fielder could go to the Red Sox. I mean if the Cubs get CC and Fielder good for them. We would survive especially since they aren't in the same league. It's much scarier if CC and Fielder went to the Sox. Now if CC went to the Cubs it's easier for us we'll find a replacement somehow if CC goes to the Cubs.

Rangers hammered the Tigers badly. They better hope those bats don't suddenly become cold like last year where they looked strong against the Yankees and then disappeared during the World Series.
