Take away the 3 dinger A-Rod game, Yank bats have not been overwhelming lately, just flew back from KC, after getting shutout by a KC number 4 man in the rotation.

Scherzer has nasty stuff, knock on him is he's spotty, but if on, can give the Yank lineup all sorts of trouble.
Vazquez scares, well, nobody really.

Lastly, this is a petty good Tiger team, even without Miggy.

Scherzer and the Tigers look real tasty at +165.
Gimme some of that action please.

2* gets you beer money for the week.

Scherzer having "nasty stuff" is exactly why the DBacks were able to rape the Tigers into getting Edwin Jackson and then in turn Daniel Hudson. His "nasty stuff" looks good on the radar gun, but he cannot hit the broad side of a barn with off-speed pitches in big games and his fastball moves about none. Good luck tonight! Yankees 7 - Tigers 3.

Yankees suck against pitchers they are seeing for the 1st time.

I will be on Tiggers 1st 5 Bill.

I was waiting for the radar to update itself just to see if the game will be shortened.

I was looking really hard on Scherzer and the tigers tonight, but I am expecting a rain delay around 8:45 in the game. If Max gets knocked out of the game by rain, that Tiger bullpen will get eaten alive.

ICC, I repspect what you are saying, and you being in 'Zona has probably seen Maxie more than me, I said my knock on him is to me he's spotty.
I have seen games he started where he looked like the second coming of Bob Gibson, but two starts later, he pitches a 5 inning 6 run stink job, where his curve has no bite and his heater struggles to hit 90 on the gun and is on a rope.

I still like Mo-Town tonight, let's see.

Bill, I will definitly be cheering for you. It is good in my eyes anytime those Spankees go down. Get that money. As you said, I am probably more vested in Max than you. Considering he was supposed to be the next "Right handed Randy Johnson" out here. Good luck!

Just want to update you guys on the weather system I have been tracking. Looks like the game won't be affected until 10 pm eastern, if it even goes that far.

So looks like a game without distraction. I really want to go on Scherzer but something tells me bookies are laying a trap with Vazquez juiced so high with his apparent dead arm.

Saw this info on another site:

Since mid 2007 the Yankees have been shutout 18 times. In the game following the shutout they have been posted as the favorite in 16 of them.

What did they do in those 16 games?

They outscored their opponents by 3.7 runs per game and have a 15-1 record.

Going for 11-0 start and history:


Scherzer became the first starter to win his first 10 decisions since Roger Clemens went 11-0 with Toronto in 1997. He's also the first to record at least six strikeouts in each of his first 14 outings since Pedro Martinez did so with Boston in 2001.


"That tickles me when you say those type of names," he said.


Scherzer wrote his name into the team record books, too, becoming the second Tigers starter to go 10-0. George Mullin opened a franchise-best 11-0 in 1909.

Good job Max

Scherzer struck out the side in both the third and the sixth on his way to his 11th double-digit strikeout game of the season — his first since striking out 10 on June 16 at Toronto.
He reached the 200-strikeout mark for the seventh consecutive season, tying Roger Clemens and Walter Johnson for the second-longest streak in major league history.
