Titanic performance by Verlander. Goodness gracious, the A's looked silly out there.

Luckily for the O's, Sabathia is no Verlander!

It's going to be cold here for the Nats game, 50 and possibly sub 50 degree temps here! Hope Gio and Wainwright aren't susceptible to the cold...

 

[zinfamous]

God, I hope not. They test more these days.

nothing has been proven!

 

[SP33Demon]

Lol, I doubt Verlander is on the juice.

BTW Nick Markakis will be back for the O's if they make the World Series. Cmon O's, just have to win tonight in NY.

oh, I'd like to clarify that roid suspicion had nothing to do with my comment comparing Verlander to Clemens--simply that it is increasingly rare to see a pitcher so dominant, year after year after year...with that kind of longevity.

I'd like to see him around for at least another 5 years, putting up performances like that. Hopefully much, much longer

I honestly don't think the juice did much for Clemens to allow him to last so long--he was just a freak, as are the handful of others that have that type of stamina.

Verlander had 22 strikeouts in the two outings, phew....

Orioles robbed? It sure looked like that ball changed course and hit the foul pole in the slow motion replay.

 

[BrokenVisage]

The fucking ball nicked that foul pole, give me a break with that less-than-a-minute review. Fucking Yankees.

I agree, but it doesn't really matter. Orioles won't score another run. They just can't hit.

 

[drebo]

Anyone else notice how Cano's hitting worse than A-Rod in this ALDS and yet A-Rod's the one that's benched?

Why does everyone have a hardon for Cano? He's more of a choker than A-Rod ever was.

 

[MetalMat]

3 runners on base with only one out and could not get anything done. Just aint happenin' Orioles

 

[BrokenVisage]

Why the hell wouldn't they pull Sabathia in the 8th with bases loaded? Dammit! Tigers better step it up now, too bad that had to start Verlander in Game 5.

 

[Perknose]

Nats first three batters: double, triple, home run. :awe:

 

[dbk]

Nats!!!! 19 year old!!!

 

[zzuupp]

Go N's!

 

[Baked]

Holy crap, the Cards are charging! Down 6-0 and now they're back to 6-5 in the bottom of 8th. 3 more chances to go. Anybody know where I can look up the season match up record for teams vs. teams?

 

[iamwiz82]

7-5 Nats, into the 9th we go.

 

[bucwylde23]

2 outs... please baby jesus, come on Nats

 

[iamwiz82]

Wow my feed on U-Verse is way off because I just got to strike 2.

 

[iamwiz82]

Storen is shaking. Cold or nerves, I wonder...

 

[MetalMat]

Bases LOADED

 

[iamwiz82]

omfg, Cards tie it up!

 

[MetalMat]

What a game!

 

[bucwylde23]

DC sports is cursed

 

[iamwiz82]

9-7 now. 4 runs here in the 9th for the Cardinals.

 

[Perknose]

Holy Chit. Cards blowing it up.
