Delmon had a great game with 3 RBI.
Girardi just said in his press conference that Jeter has a fractured ankle and he's done for the season. As someone who hates the Yankees I have always respected Jeter. I want the Yankees to lose to my Tigers but I don't want Jeter hurt or missing from the lineup.

I was watching the Tigers game and the Buckeye in between innings, but had friends over to watch the games.
Does this mean that Leyland will put Raburn in tomorrow ?
:
Sorry, I just threw up a little in the back of my mouth ....
Smyly is a calm , cool and collected person in the clutch.... that is what Leyland liked about him all the way back in Spring Training
Read that leyland will be addressing the closer situation with the Tiger brass, what's there to discuss? Maybe does anyone have Todd Jones number?

I think him discussing it with the brass is a GREAT thing ....
It means that THEY will address it, not just him.
That means theres a possibility that Valverde will NOT be coming in in the 9th anymore (watch, they'll bring him in in the 8th instead
).Valverde is a FA after the Post Season, I think his HUGE pay day has gone Bye Bye ...
Fwiw, Todd Jones may have gave up runs, but at least he still WON the game.

This season the Tigers picked up Valverde's option year at 9M dollers. I think we're going to part ways after the post season so that gives Dombrowski some $$$ to improve the bullpen. I just hope we don't bring in another Brad Penny.

Valverde is gone since he is out of contract...a very expensive 9M one.
Yup !!!!
Thankfully.
I'd like to thank Jose for his year LAST year ... he's been equally bad this year.
Yanks’ ball and chain
Broken-down A-Rod will cost NY for years

NEW YORK — Here’s an amazing thought: If the Yankees were to offer Alex Rodriguez to every team in baseball for nothing, there’d be no takers. If they were to throw in half — as in $57 million — of the $114 million remaining on the contract of the greatest player of this generation, there’d be no takers.
If they agreed to include their best prospect(s) to facilitate the deal, there’d be no takers.
A-Rod has become the albatross to end all albatrosses, and barring the arrival of an Ancient Mariner with a bow, the Yankees are stuck with him....
Rodriguez’ career has followed a downward trajectory since 2007, when he won his third and presumably final MVP award after blasting 54 homers for the Yankees. He then opted out of his landmark 10-year, $252 million deal (it’s all about timing), and signed his current 10-year, $275 million behemoth through 2017.
But his numbers began decreasing immediately thereafter, with his OPS dipping from a still-superstar .965 in 2008 to .933 to .847 to .823 to this year’s pedestrian .783. That ranked 68th in baseball and earned Rodriguez $29 million.
What’s terrifying if you’re the Yankees is that at age 37, once the decline begins, it generally doesn’t reverse field. Rodriguez is actually four months older than Sox DH David Ortiz [stats], who only wants a two-year deal before presumably retiring, and who, by the way, remains absurdly productive when healthy. The same cannot be said of A-Rod, who averaged 41 homers a year from 1996-2010, but has totaled just 34 over the last two seasons.

That missed call on Cano's ground ball with the bases loaded may have been the biggest play of the game, but it went mostly unnoticed.
There's no doubt the Yankees had better win now because their top players are aging quickly and they have a monstrous payroll. The A-Rod contract may really hurt this team for years to come. We shall see.
