DET 6, NYY 4 (12); Jeter out for postseason with ankle fracture

That game went from uncomfortable (Valverde's meltdown) to unbelievable/fun (Ibanez homers again during said meltdown) to scary (Jeter screaming in pain). At first, I thought Jeter was joking around, TWiB-style, just sort of staying face-down all "and now I will lie here in shame over that error," and that kind of thing is funny sometimes, but not in extras in the LCS...but then the crowd is silent. As I said on Twitter, I have never heard a baseball venue that quiet, and I've gone to Newark Bears games.

When he couldn't put any weight on it, that was pretty much that. He's out for the postseason. I'm sorry, Jetes pickers. He did throw you a point on the way out, though.

Points:
Cabrera: 1
Fielder: 2
Jeter: 1

Pettitte: 8.67

No change to the leaders and no slates eliminated, but we do break the triple-digit barrier:

Cameron: 100.34
Rogers: 96.67
Johnson 2: 87
Reid, Bingham 1, Winners O'Reilly, Phillips, Johnson 1, Wonsetler 1: 80s
Green, Bingham 2, Tormey, Broomfield/Romine, L'Enfant: 70s
Cameron 2, Shotwell, Wild O'Reilly: 60s
Buntings: 50s
Wonsetler 2, Quinn: present

Game 2 of this series gets underway at 4 PM ET (Kuroda starting), followed by STL @ SF at 8 PM ET (Lynn and Bumgarner starting).
