The Yankee fans will be cryin' tonight

Somebody by the name of Jose Valverde closed the show and hard-throwing Justin Verlander pitched eight strong innings as the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 5-4, in Detroit tonight to take a 2-1 edge in the American League Division Series.

Arizona Diamondback fans remember Jose. Not too long ago Valverde was closing games for the D'backs. Tonight, he did his thing for the Tigers by striking out Derek Jeter with two outs and two runners on in the ninth inning. A Yankee loss tomorrow, and the New York fans will be cryin' and calling for Joe Girardi to hit the road. You really can't blame the loss on Girardi, you got to hand it to Verlander. He was tough tonight and it shouldn't be a surprise. He's the best pitcher in the AL this year!
