i'd choose Verlander at this point, Felix and him are close in SIERA/xFIP etc.. and Verlander edges him in fWAR and IP etc..

The big thing that Felix/Verlander have over Weaver/Sale/Price is the IP. 212.2/217.1 vs. 167.1/175/187.2 respectively. Price is closer, but the value of the nearly 50+ extra innings is just too great. Definitely Felix/Verlander should be at the head of the pack.
Edit: Windu, if they're that close, I'd be OK with letting the perfect game narrative give Felix the edge.
if nothing else the close to the tigers game is fun... that ball couldn't have been foul by more than a single CM even in the replays it looked like it knicked the foul line @_@
I wouldn't mind it going to felix, and despite being a white sox fan I don't feel sale is the cy young winner this year unless his last two starts are no hitters
Sale still makes me happy though as he is young and looks like a solid pitcher. he can just win the cy young next year
YES BLOWN SAVE!!!!!
RUNNER ON THIRD WITH JUST 1 OUT COME ON INDIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus, when did the Pirates blow their lead?
I love watching valverde pitch in general. Heck I have watched him save a ton of games just because they are exciting (I watched the tigers saves at the end of last year just because they tend to be fun lol)
I never ever ever ever ever ever want him to be my closer though, I would lose years off my life lol
edit: so they walk the bases loaded lets see how this turns out
INDAINS WIN INDIANS WIN WALK OFF WALK OFF!!!!!!
white sox lead by 2 games now and the tigers morale has to be hurting after this one, hopefully they don't play as well tomorrow and the white sox can take a 3 game lead ^_^
nope not at all he got more than enough of that one to get the run in even if it was caught.

So at best we force extras (which is virtually an automatic loss for this team)? This offense has struggled so much down the stretch this season.
We are only decent at getting big chunks early on. I hate whenever we go into extras, it's like we try our hardest to become extraordinary average once the innings hits double digits. It is nice to see Wainwright pitching well, hopefully Carp will be the little push we need to get a gap on the Wild Card.
Fuel that energy into your workouts and post in FitGAF
I'll be making an update at the end of October or November, I've been making some great progress.
Both Price and Weaver are SO far behind in IP it's not even funny though.
Like 6 complete games worth of innings ... Weaver moreso.

Almost blew the rundown but we might actually get out of the inning alive.

Nice win!
Alright keeping up with playoff eliminations:
The Phillies were eliminated from the NL East earlier today.
The Red Sox were eliminated from the AL East earlier today.
The Mariners were eliminated from the AL West with that loss.
The Rockies will be eliminated from the NL Wildcard with either their loss or the conclusion of the STL-LAD game.

Matheny hasn't burned through most of his pitchers like TLR would have so we might have a chance get there without a position player pitching. Plus, expanded rosters.

Both teams getting on base and not scoring. How shall we blow it this inning?
It's like the 09 playoffs all over again.

Minus Holliday attempting another catch with his groin.

Hey, a run!!
Would be nice if Holliday makes them pay for IBBing Beltran. 2nd time tonight.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
On a side note The Ted is to big seating wise. Wish they could take seats out as crazy as that sounds. It seats like 10k more than needed, and about that many more than most other stadiums.
Yeah its one of the biggest ones. Blame the olympics i guess.
I dont mind it though, means there will always (most likely) be a ticket.
