Valverde: "The series is not coming back to New York"

Here's some bulletin board material via Ian Begley:After closing out the Detroit Tigers' win over the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the ALDS on Sunday, closer Jose Valverde believes the Tigers are a lock to win the series. "I think the series will finish in our house," Valverde told ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas and other outlets. "They have a good team, but the series is not (coming) back to New York." ... "We have a big advantage," Valverde said. "We have Verlander ready for tomorrow. In the bullpen, we are ready." Hey Jose, remember Jimmy Rollins? Hopefully the Yankees respond to this with a nice six-spot in the top of the 1st tomorrow.
