Yes, though it's not as bad for me as when I saw Mattingly go. At least Jeter's going on his own terms, and not because he feels he can't perform due to injury.

Wow, I wasn't jumping on the Yankees at all, and you're jumping my chit.
:-)
Oh well....last year is last year, and the past is the past. We'll see who is in the playoffs in about 8 weeks.

Nah, I don't think I'll see ya there . . . meaning I might see ya there, but you won't see ME there. Still, we'll put up a heck of a fight.

Tigers get the win in the 12th inning. Price pitched pretty well for a N.D. I watched about the 1st through 6th innings. Missed the rest then caught the bottom of the 12th.

Could be my Yanks beat 2 of your Cy Young pitchers, and slapped a ND on the 3rd.

Indeed, but it was lack of support rather than poor pitching by any of the 3. I guess you could say that my Tigers beat the 27 time world champs on Tuesday.

Pitching was very good from those 3, just as pitching was slightly better from my starting rotation patched together with spit and scotch tape. And unlike many guys, I can't complain about our bullpen much.

Detroit pitching was great again today. Porcello scattered 9 hits with no walks over 7 innings, giving up only one run.
Greene gave up zero runs over 8, Robertson got his 31st save, and Yanks take 3 of 4 from Tigers. Who needs Cy Young anyway?

A great series for the Yankees, but I was pretty happy with the pitchers from Motown, think it will serve them well moving forward.

Tigers pitched well, Tom.
I think I read they pitched to an 0.99 ERA during the series.
Facing the rotation the way it was set up, I would've been more than thrilled with a split.
Though the Yanks fared better, they didn't exactly blow the Tigers away.
I was shocked to see just how pitiful the Tigers lineup is without Miggy.
When you take him out, you just don't lose his bat, but nobody else slots correctly in the order.
Kind of odd to see that from one of the favorites.
Oh, and Detroit's bullpen still blows!
