    We haunted them! 10 times they were tied for the AL East lead, 10 times they were not in sole place of first the next. Twice they were tied in the ALDS, 0 times could they take the lead in the series. They have 1 loss when leading after 8 I believe. One loss to the Yankees. They have 3 extra inning losses all year, 3 to the Yankees!

    Yeah that's why I'm curious. If it went to the right of the foul pole but hooked and nicked the back of the pole. Is that fair or foul because it technically crossed the plane of the pole foul but hit the pole which is fair

    Pretty sure that's fair. It doesn't have to be fair all the way.

    Yeah we may have caught a break there but it wasn't definitive.

    It was a foul ball. Remember it's actually a "fair pole" not a "foul" pole. If the ball touches any part of the pole it's a fair ball. They even had Craig Sager in the stands with the ball and he said no yellow knick.

    the first pitch to Jeter in the 2nd was right down the middle and the ump called it a ball

    I wouldn't trust the pitch trax here. The replay showed it to be clearly outside.

    Cano was safe. Weird to miss that call since it seemed easy enough.

    So that's 4 runners in scoring position stranded and 6 total in the first two innings

    but both rallies were pretty much started with 2 outs. Arod and Robbie at least hit the bALL WELL. this pitcher won't last long for detroit, i hope, let him off the hook in the 3rd, he's at 54 pitches, was at 47 before the 3rd and robbie's ball hit him right on the wrist of his throwing hand.
    gotta cash in some runs now Yanks, let's go!!

    I hate when guys strike out on a ball in the dirt and don't even bother running to first.

    Make the guy make the throw. Do your job.

    The announcer just mentioned it but I've watched a lot of baseball this season and I've seen it happen dozens of times.

    What a fuckin embarrassment. Arod should quit. Swisher should die in a fire and Grnady needs to stop free-basing meth in the clubhouse
