I put it in quotes to emphasize that it was sarcastic. He blew it big time. Was booed heavily by the fans.
I was hoping the Reds and Giants would be over in 3. Now it looks like it is going to be a 5 game series. So much for home field advantage.
Hopefully the Reds can clobber them in Game 5.

I have a feeling we're headed for a Giants/Cardinals NLCS- AKA a battle of the last two WS champs.
MLB is really clueless when it comes to the postseason schedule. There are two potential winner take all games tomorrow, and MLB schedules them in the two worst windows (1:00pm ET for Giants-Reds and 9:30pm ET for Tigers-A's). Meanwhile, the two game 4's get the 4:00pm ET game (Cardinals-Nationals) and the 7:30pm ET game (Orioles-Yankees).
You would think that MLB would have made the two game 5's a priority with the schedule.

Will the Tiger fan club be in full force this evening? Although I get up extremely early in the morning, the team needs me tonight. 
That's the matchup I picked before the playoffs started (and Tigers-Yankees in the AL).
One would think that the Giants have the edge on the hill tomorrow. However, Latos has been tough on the Giants.

I'll be here all night. It got pretty quiet around here in during the last few innings last night.

Right. They should be showcasing the drama of the game 5's, although I'm hoping the tigers series doesn't come to that. They obviously have some data that shows their best ratings come from the Yankees even when there are more important games on.
I get up at 4:00 AM so there was no way I could stay-up that late after getting a flu-shot in the afternoon. Regardless, I was going to stay up and the entire game tonight, but I just noticed the game starts at 9:37 vice 9:07 PM. It looks like I'll be sticking around for 4 or 5 innings and then it's lights out.
You wonder how much of Stephen Strasburg being shut down has to do with it. I would think he would make a difference if he was pitching.
They will never move the Yankees out of prime time even if there are two game 5's. Tigers/A's and Reds/Giants are not sexy matchups compared to the Yankees. The Yankees have always been that way.
I don't think so. He did not pitch very well the 2nd half of the season and the team managed to win 98 using the entire team. Could he help? Sure, but the team has enough talent to win without him in the rotation IMO.
