Requiem for the Tigers?
...I guess we'll find out at the conclusion of tonight's game.
Doug Fister takes the mound against the Yankees in the Bronx. After his lackluster appearance in the rain-delayed first game of this American League divisional series, I fully expect the tall lanky one to pitch a good game. After pitching in Yankee Stadium last week, he should have the butterflies out of his system now.
The key for the Tigers is this: Get the bats going early and often and hope that Fister pitches the way he did down the stretch in the regular season. Detroit has to somehow get guys like Avila, Peralta, and Jackson going, and hope that the big guns like Cabrera, Martinez, and Young can keep it going--and get it done before the eighth inning because if the Yankees bullpen gets involved, it'll be lights out for the good guys from Detroit.
I still give the edge to the Evil Empire tonight, but am definitely not counting out the Tigers.
So in conclusion, let me just say:
