Jose Valverde told reporters after Sunday's Game 2 victory in New York that the ALDS "is over." "Oh yeah," said the Tiger closer, after helping his club even the five-game series. "It's over already. Verlander has it [Monday]. Next day, have the celebration in Detroit -- 100 percent. The Yankees have a good team, but I think that's it for them." Valverde made the remarks in a joking manner, but that won't matter to the Yankees or their fans.
