Pat, the sun has been setting on Jose' career all year long now it is in the dusk phrase.
Can't wait to see Miggy adjust to the inside pitch and drill it into the upper deck.
I can't remember the last time a game that badly blown fell to our side in the end. That's the most encuraging feat from the Tigers we have seen this year.
I have to admit I am sorry to see Jeeter knocked out of the series this way - but I think I can get over it.
The choices appear to be the whole bullpen - and maybe even Porcello - should be interesting.
You're right - you did have to support your closer up to now - and now he MUST sit down and watch - but the real analysis comes in as to who fills the role in Valverde's stead.
