Big win by the Tigers tonight to avoid elimination. The series is now at 3-2 in favor of the Rangers. After a few dissapointing loses by the Tigers at the hands of Nelson Cruz, who has had two very big home runs in extra innings, Justin Verlander came up big with 7 1/3 innings tonight for the win. Delmon Young had two homeruns on the night to go along with an Alex Avila solo homer to do most of the damage for the Tigers in their 7-5 win. They will play again on Saturday in Arlington,Texas as the Rangers look to close it out. Max Scherzer will be on the hill for the Tigers opposing Derrek Holland. It should be a very interesting game as both young pitchers look to make a name for themselves.
Randy Wolf came up big tonight for the Brewers as he beat the Cardinals 4-2 going 7 strong innings and giving up two solo home runs. The series is now tied 2-2. Zack Greinke will pitch for the Brewers as Jaime Garcia will go for the Cardinals in a crucial game 5 on Friday night. I am going to predict that the winner of tommorow night's game will take the series
Lastly, Theo Epstein will no longer be the GM for the Boston Red Sox as he has signed a 5 year/20 million dollar contract with the Chicago Cubs. Good for him. I am interested to see how much control he really had here in Boston with the way ownership seems to stick their nose in everyone's business. I would love to see Terry Francona re-unite with Theo as Cubs Manager. If this were to happen, it would be a clear indication that ownership is to blame for the colossal collapse this September by the Sox. Either way, great move by the Cubs who seem to be loaded with talent but going no where fast.
