Will Instant Replay Kill The Neighborhood Play?

In the end it didn't matter. The Tigers won handily even with Stephen Drew clearly coming well off the bag on a would-be double play in the second inning. (The throw to first would be late.) But what if this extra out, which cost Detroit at least one run, had meant the game? This question's only hyp...

Jim Leyland Smokes Out A Winner

From those who consider "old-school" a derisive term, Jim Leyland tends to get a pass because he's just plain old.

A's, Tigers Trade "Fuck You"s Then Shoves As Fight Breaks Out In Ninth

Grant Balfour's no stranger to brawls in the ALDS sparked by profanity, and he was at the center of one again today in the ninth as he attempted to close out a win for the A's against the Tigers.
