a's clubhouse..and if it ner opens, the a's will look bat the champagne is going to remain here until the a's do something. center yeah -- yeah, hopefully tomorrow. but the a's will look back at game four, a huge opportunity missed. it was tied at 3 in the 7th when coco crisp rips a single up the middle. they knocked it out of the bullpen in this must-win game for detroit. a's up 4-3. coco could taste the bubblely, but not so fast. victor martinez gets it, due to the fast ball and scores for

the home run. explaning that the fan interfered. take a look at it after the extensive reviews, they confirmed that home run and the game was tied at 4. later in the inning, austin jackson was 1-14 with 10 strikeouts. look at this. a broken bat facing them here and the tigers, they lead 5-4. the top of the 8th, loading up the bases, nobodying out. striking him out on what would have been ball four and a tiedgame. then he strikes him out on a fast ball and he lines out to the center field. bases loaded, nobody out and the a's did not score. tigers without insurance end up winning 8-6, setting up the stage for a winner takes all game five. they went ahead. >> that's stuff you dream about pitching, you know, bases loaded, no outs, able to get out of it. somehow tonight i was able to do it. >> the ruling that i understand is once it goes over the yellow line it is anybody's ball.

and it clearly was over the fence. there is nothing that i could do, but be mad. i hope that victor martinez doesn't take it lightly. >> and he is undecided about who will be pitching game five. jim leyland will give the ball to justin verlander whose numbers were down this season, 3.46 earned run average. game time 5:00 p.m. why is it that you think that you had some of the struggles that you did this year? is it age catching up to you, other things that's going on? >> nice question. no. and if i could tell you, i wouldn't add them. >> it'll be a long evening. >> yes, it is not a big thing for them to come for the red sox against the rays. and for the wild pitch as they were tied, the game. they beat out the infield single to go there to score to make it 2-1 as they need to hold on 3-1 and they advance to the alcs. the sharks scored nine goals tonight against the rangers, almost half of them by the 19-year-old kid, drafting the 7th overall last year.

look at them. they had about 11 minutes to make it count near the goals to get the hat trick to make it 7- 2 and there is the hat. now, they saved the best for last. look at that goal in front of their mom and girlfriend. and he's the youngest to score four goals in the nhl since 1988. the sharks win 9-2 for the big hurdle remembering his name. because right now he's the hottest name ever in hockey. >> yes, what a great shot. >> more of that shot, you know, might end up being the goal of the year. >> called the hurdle at 19. >> that's perfect. >> i love it. >> yes. that's why you're the anchor man. >> never seen before. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,

our next newscast is tomorr morning at 4-30. setm meyers up next. >> i know a lot of you are upset with the a's. don't be. they're coming home. all green and gold. >> got them right where they want to. >> there is always? >> tomorrow. thank you.
