FEAR THE ALMIGHTY BIG LEAGUE CHEW lol, no but seriously it's tied at 3 in the 6th this is HUGE for BOTH TEAMS...if Oakland wins, it's 3-1, and obviously Oakland and Detroit would play tomorrow, but if Detroit wins it's a 4-0 (well, I won't say it here cuz I dont wanna jinx it if it does happen), and my boys go to the WS...not tryin to trash talk this time...cuz it's crunch time in Detroit right now...

A lot of guys in the Detroit bullpen will chew tons of Big League Chew if they want to start a rally, but that's the only thing I can think of is he's either chewing like 3 or 4 giant handfuls of Big League Chew, or he just is really focusing...oh, and BTW, may the best team win, and I mean that sincerely, not as a trash talker...

Yes I know what they do but thats not what I'm talking about. I am not talking about bubble gum. Bubble gum does not cause cheek cancer like Polanco has.

Ok, if he's got cancer in his cheeks, where's ur proof?

And, 2nd, I'd just like to say that even though your A's got swept by my Tigers, I think they put up one helluva fight all the way through the series, especially today when we had to pull out a victory in the bottom of the 9th. So no hard feelings, I hope!

Fox fires Lyons after insensitive comment

By JANIE McCAULEY, AP Sports Writer
October 14, 2006

DETROIT (AP) -- Fox baseball broadcaster Steve Lyons has been fired for making a racially insensitive comment directed at colleague Lou Piniella's Hispanic heritage on the air during Game 3 of the American League championship series.

The network confirmed Saturday that Lyons was dismissed after Friday's game. He has been replaced for the remainder of the series by Los Angeles Angels announcer Jose Mota.

Piniella had made an analogy involving the luck of finding a wallet, then briefly used a couple of Spanish phrases during Friday's broadcast.

Lyons said that Piniella was "hablaing Espanol" -- butchering the conjugation for the word "to speak" -- and added, "I still can't find my wallet."

"I don't understand him, and I don't want to sit too close to him now," Lyons continued.
Lyons claimed he was kidding.

"If I offended anybody, I'm truly sorry," Lyons said in a phone interview. "But my comment about Lou taking my wallet was a joke and in no way racially motivated."

Lyons flew Saturday to Los Angeles, where he hoped to meet with Fox chairman David Hill. Lyons had been working in the booth for the ALCS alongside Thom Brennaman and Piniella, the No. 2 broadcast team for Fox this postseason.

"Steve Lyons has been relieved of his Fox Sports duties for making comments on air that the company found inappropriate," network spokesman Dan Bell said.

In the second inning of Friday's game between Detroit and Oakland, Piniella talked about the success light-hitting A's infielder Marco Scutaro had in the first round of the playoffs. Piniella said that slugger Frank Thomas and Eric Chavez needed to contribute, comparing Scutaro's production to finding a "wallet on Friday" and hoping it happened again the next week.

Later, Piniella said the A's needed Thomas to get "en fuego" -- hot in Spanish -- because he was currently "frio" -- or cold. After Brennaman praised Piniella for being bilingual, Lyons spoke up.

Fox executives told Lyons after the game he had been fired.

Piniella, approached before Saturday's Game 4, declined to comment on the situation except to say: "No, he's not here today."

This was not a first-time offense for Lyons, nicknamed "Psycho" during his nine-year big league career as a utilityman that ended in 1993 with the Boston Red Sox.

Hired when Fox began broadcasting baseball in 1996, Lyons was suspended without pay in late September 2004 after his remarks about Shawn Green of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Green is Jewish and elected not to play one of the two games at San Francisco that took place during the Yom Kippur holiday.

The network apologized for Lyons' remarks at the time.

Earlier in the playoffs, while working the Mets-Dodgers NLDS, Lyons unwittingly made fun of a nearly blind fan who was wearing special glasses to see the game.

"He's got a digital camera stuck to his face," Lyons said.

He also once pulled down his pants on the field during his playing days.

Lyons, 46, was a career .252 hitter with 19 home runs and 196 RBIs for Boston, the Chicago White Sox, Atlanta and Montreal. He was a first-round draft pick by the Red Sox, 19th overall, in 1981.

AP Baseball Writer Ben Walker and AP Sports Writer Larry Lage contributed to this story.

Surly Pujols mirrors Bonds at his worst
By Bryan Burwell
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
10/17/2006

Sports Columnist Bryan Burwell
[More columns]

As he made another hasty and all-too-predictable retreat out of the Cardinals' clubhouse early Monday night, Albert Pujols snatched a crisp white game jersey off a locker stall hook, tossed it over his broad shoulders then slipped out the back door barely uttering a word.

As he shuffled down one of Busch Stadium's well-lit back corridors, past the World Series banners and National League pennants that decorated the walls, Pujols already had tugged his dark knit cap down snugly over his head, zipped up the front of his dark sweat suit jacket and gruffly looked back over his shoulder as he prepared to walk out into the miserable, rainy St. Louis night.

The National League Championship Series' biggest star had just been presented a gift from Mother Nature when the all-day rains soaked this baseball-crazed city, forced Game 5 to be postponed for 24 hours and gave Pujols and his tender right hamstring muscle an extra day's rest.

Only Pujols didn't quite see it that way.

"Nah, I wanted to play today," he grumbled before disappearing behind a pair of swinging double doors.

It was another day and another night of watching the best player in baseball behave like the bright glare of baseball's postseason was burning a hole in the back of his neck as if he was in an interrogation room.

It was another day and another night of trying to understand why he wasn't basking in the warm glow of his own celebrity, why he couldn't quite comprehend why this should be the best of times of his baseball life, not the most unpleasant.

For some odd reason, Pujols has once again turned the NLCS into a joyless pursuit of excellence rather than an extraordinary opportunity to display his singular greatness, and I just don't get it.

He comes to the ballpark every day and treats people with a needless surly demeanor.

Instead of seizing on the chance to step onto baseball's big postseason stage and impress the nation's baseball press with his athletic brilliance, he instead has made quite the impression in the worst kind of way.

"Get out of my freakin' locker — you people are a pain in the (butt), you know that?" he snarled last week inside the crowded Shea Stadium visitors' clubhouse after Game 1 was rained out.

The greatest hitter in baseball is turning into a mirror image of the man who so gruffly held that title before him. Pujols is turning into Barry Bonds, and believe me, this is not a compliment.

This cranky postseason routine is nothing new. It's actually quite reminiscent of his surly behavior at the start of last year's NLCS in Houston, when his foul mood and uncooperative attitude seemed to affect the entire team as the Cards trudged through the early part of that series as if the games were a joyless burden rather than a carefree pleasure.

And just as things were starting to look as bad as they could get when the Astros took a three-games-to-one advantage, Pujols lightened up and showed the side of his personality that many of us in St. Louis know but rarely see anymore.

Exactly one year ago to the day, Pujols stood in the middle of the visitors' clubhouse in Houston sporting a broad smile and telling everyone that something magical was in the air.

"Can we pull off a miracle?'' Pujols asked then. "Of course we can. We just need to win one game. If we can do that, if we can just get past tomorrow, it puts all the pressure on them."

He was smiling. He was lighthearted. He was a picture of calm in the midst of a potential storm. And guess what happened the next night? Pujols crashed the most memorable home run of his career, off Brad Lidge, and the Cardinals won Game 5.

So now here we are on the first anniversary of that incredible blast, and it seems fitting that Pujols and the Cardinals should be reminded of how good it can be when he doesn't treat the hectic playoff environment with such disdain.

Just to be clear, this is not a belated diatribe against his remarks about Mets ace Tom Glavine. He's not the first nor the last great athlete I've met with a competitive fire who refuses to submit to any idea that an opponent got the better of him.

Every great athlete I've known or observed closely, from Michael Jordan to Martina Navratilova, from Tiger Woods to Chris Evert, accepted defeat in the same manner. It was never something you did to them, it was always something they did to themselves. "You didn't win. I lost."

But here's something else all the great ones have in common: The intense heat of a championship stage always feels comfortable to them.

This is not a time to be angry. This is not a time to be miserable.

This is a time to crash the walls, Albert, not a time to act like the walls are crashing in on you.
