I know this might be over-simplifying things and in a sense is fairly obvious, but I'll say it anyway:

If the Tigers win both Verlander starts, they win the series.
If Texas can beat him even once, they win the series.

Games One and Five are the pivotal games IMO.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

I think the Rangers can win the series with Verlander winning both starts

I trust Colby in the playoffs and think he can win game 3 and 7

I predict us in 7, winning game 2,3,4,7

Also has there been any talks of starting Verlander on short rest twice?

Yes.

Here's a transcript of those talks:

I assume Ron Washington says likewise about Tiger Destroyer Alexi Ogando getting into the rotation.

Sports radio around here was breathing a huge sigh of relief about that one yesterday.

I was listening to Mad Dog Radio on my Sirius on the way home from work.

He was seriously trying to make the argument that the Yankees ALDS loss was more embarrassing than the Red Sox September collapse, and that the Red Sox were intentionally quitting on Francona because they hated him and thus the collapse is more excusable.

....what?

--
Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

The bad news: Delmon Young is out.
The good news: Second-Half Ryan Raburn is just as good.

Consider the source. Prior to getting his national show, Mad Dog was cohosting the afternoon show on New York's SportsRadio WFAN 660. Okay, yes, he was the Mets fan and his partner Mike Francesa was the Yankees fan, but still...New Yorker.

I want to see the Brewers win because I don't like the Cardinals. I don't really care about the ALCS. I like both teams so it's fine either way

edit: then again, a Brewers > Rangers WS would make the Yankees look s***ty in the X-Stats...

Eh, probably. Just reveling in some schaudenfreude.

We should have lost in the first round, we're playing with house money!

Problem is that the ump was equally awful for both sides last time! Not so much this time.

And they don't even mention that incident where La Russa tried to claim that the Brewers' home field advantage was the result of unfair manipulation of the lighting at Miller Park. Gonna be one hell of a grudge match here.

[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]

Apparently in the first 3 innings, Verlander had 6 pitches in the strike zone called balls and nothing outside the strike zone called a strike.
