Quote of the day
"I feel good about what A.J. [Burnett] is going to do for us tomorrow." -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi, after losing to Detroit to trail in the series 2-1Daily blurb
Not exactly vintage Verlander, but good enough. With A.J. Burnett pitching for the Yankees tonight in an elimination game in Detroit, the Tigers have to feel pretty good about their situation. But postseason series often take funny turns, so I’m assuming nothing.
All four baseball series are in action today, and three could end. Only the Phillies and Cardinals are assured of continuing tomorrow. Not quite the scenario we had last Wednesday when four teams were all playing for their own survival, but it could still turn out to offer some drama. And with no football, what else are you gonna watch?
