  1. Pat, Todd Jones one of the greatest example of there must be a God. How did he saves 319 games with his stats is unbelievable.
    Good news the Tigers might be on a roll with 3 RBI hits.

  2. I just wondering, has any team ever had a losing record on the road, and in the post season, and managed to win a World Series. The Tigers are so poor on the road it's hard to imagine them as a championship unit.

  3. I'm not buying it Pat. The whole destiny package. I am buying the fact that these A's are pumped up (when you see a guy standing on second screaming "yeah" so hard that his whole body shakes - you know they are really adrenalized and they actually DO believe they CAN"T be beat. The Tigers - on the other hand - believe they can be beat. Ask Verlander what he truthfully thought as Benoit came out in the 8th - then Valverde in the 9th.

    Our own guys don't believe in our own guys. But good luck getting that sound bite.

    Everybody I have talked to today has made the same statement - "for the Tigers to win tonight - Verlander has to pitch a complete game shutout.

    That means no guys standing on second screaming so hard that their whiole body shakes.

    And we should probably lock Crisp in a meat locker at the local Kroger there just to be certain. Crisp's beating us single-handedly.
