CC's pitch count at 73. Looks like the bullpen will come into play today.

He may not survive this inning

[ThePrideofShiner]

This might as well be 1,000-0.

[Stu Nahan]

I didn't expect their offense to show up, but I definitely expected a better start from CC. Defense did him no favors, but the roof certainly fell in this inning.

[koufax32]

I am enjoying this baseball game. Carry on.

[MoVaughnsTruck]

See you boys in April.

[ThePrideofShiner]

This game is hilarious. Seriously, how much lower can the Yankees sink?

Getting no-hit would be the perfect topper to this shit-sandwich.

[rajendra82]

Nunez showing his Jeterian range.

[aichtal]

Man if the whole team is going to roll over, maybe it's time to clean house. Starting with Girardi. And Kevin Long, hitting coach extraordinaire.

I mean, yes, they had to face Justin Verlander. But they have made every single starting pitcher that they have faced look like Justin Verlander. Unbelievable melt down.

You'd think Tigers fans would cheer ARod. Their likelihood of getting out of this mess just went up infinitely.

In play - out(s). At least he made contact.

Way to strike out on a pitch that was never a strike, Granderson.

I thought he checked that swing myself, but....

How dare you?

[Al Zarilla]

Nobody in the Yankee dugout wants to hear Swisher say what could have been on that fly.

[carver]

Swisher sez, "Golly, that be in the upper deck in our shit stadium"

[carver]

Y-E-D, easy as 1-2-3...

This might as well be 1,000-0.

I'd watch that game...

[ThePrideofShiner]

Here comes the epic rally.

At least ARod can't strike out to end the season again.

[strek1]

I'm heading out to a black tie dinner that was scheduled months ago, to induct my collegiate fencing team and some others (including Bob Kraft) into the Columbia Athletics Hall of Fame. I will bring my little radio, but won't be back here until after the game, and possibly the season, is done.

Jon: Your at your dinner so let me do the honors tonight as as a Sox fan willing to help out.

"7 to tie, 8 to win"

Sorry - Couldn't help it. Our Red Sox were a total train wreck this year so you can bury me quite easily, but I still couldn't resist.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Is this ARod's last at bat as a member of the Yankees? Man, I hope so.

[Al Zarilla]

Coke is becoming a modern day Dick Radatz, or maybe 1/2 of one.

[ThePrideofShiner]

What's worse, getting swept out of the playoffs and hitting a combined .021 as a team in the process or having Phil Coke close out three games against you in one series?

[NoMaRRaMoN]

Could they be using Coke so much in an effort to show who won the Granderson trade?

[strek1]

Good time for an AROD solo shot?

[BellhornIsGod]

I smiled more during this game than during the entire 2012 Red Sox season.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Welp, anticlimactic as ever. See ya in February.

[strek1]

Boy this must feel sweet for Coke. To close them out like this....

[singaporesoxfan]

Last team that was swept in a postseason series without ever leading in the series... St Louis, 2004.

[carver]

This brings an end to your 2012 Yankees broadcast.

Good night, and bad luck...

Yes.

[ThePrideofShiner]

That's a crazy stat. Another one from this series: Delmon Young drove in as many runs as the Yankees scored.

[SemperFidelisSox]

[JohntheBaptist]

Yankees: "Don't let us win tonight!"
Tigers: "Yeah good call."

[MH76]

It's tough imagining 95 wins from this team again for the next couple of seasons... Cashman's got some work to do.. I'm not sure what good it would do to pay ARod to go elsewhere either..

Good season.. but there's certainly no feeling that something is building here..

[ThePrideofShiner]

In a perfect world, you move Jeter to third, ARod to DH and make Nunez the everyday shortstop. Not sure if that could happen, though.

[AMS25]

The Yankees won the division and made it to the ALCS. Can't say it wasn't a solid season.

Can't wait to watch their "solid season" parade.

Ok.

still laughing at "and then Kuroda will . . ."

[Andrew]

No Coke, pepsi!

[jon abbey]

So seems like this was a good one to miss. You will all get a kick out of the fact that as this Columbia dinner wrapped up around 9 PM, they did a final montage on the big screen of all of the inducted athletes to the strains of, yes, 'New York, New York' by Sinatra. Depressing, yes.

[jon abbey]

Two amazing factoids: this broke NY's streak of MLB record 36 straight postseason series without being swept and DET is the first team to knock the Yankees out of back to back postseasons since the 1921-22 Giants.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Since 2003, the Yankees are 12-2 vs Minnesota in the playoffs.

28-37 vs everyon else, Although I should be fair and point out that they did win a WS during that stretch.

[EvilEmpire]

Sad. Can't wait until next season.

Sorry - Couldn't help it. Our Red Sox were a total train wreck this year so you can bury me quite easily, but I still couldn't resist.

This probably would have worked if you had done it correctly:

7 to tie, 8 to go ahead.

blah blah blah...

They lost. Period. Nothing amazing about it at all...

Actually there was quite a bit that was remarkable about it, the Yankees were historically inept at the plate, with the single lowest batting average of any postseason team ever. Also a bit lost in the shuffle was Eric Chavez's 0-16, A-Rod couldn't have set the bar much lower yet Chavez somehow found room underneath. Gardner also went 0 for the postseason, things were so bad that a few hits by Nunez have people talking about him as an essential piece next year, despite the minor issue of him being incapable of playing anywhere but SS and being pretty unreliable even there.

Also, you continue to be one of the shittier posters I come into contact with here, good job.

[jon abbey]

Also, the Tigers were only the third team ever to sweep NY in a seven game series, the first two being the 1976 Big Red Machine and the 1963 Dodgers of Koufax and Drysdale.
