They said the Tigs would be waiting about a week which helps with injuries to Casey and Zumaya. The way we are playing hopefully it doesn't effect our momentum. Tigs in 6 and Leyland wins the Governor's office with write-in votes.

The Tigers were the losingest team in the majors over the past 13 seasons and they were written off by the entire baseball world. They proved them wrong. The Tigers have won seven straight post-season games. They knocked out two tough teams in the New York Yankees and the A's. And now there back! The old English "D" on there jerseys stands for Detroit and Destiny now!

I saw an interview with Sean Casey yesterday, after the game, and he stated positively that he will play in the World Series. For sure!!!

He said that his leg feels better each day and with the almost week to get it better, he will definitely be ready to play.

As for Zumaya, I think his injury is far less dangerous than that of Sean, but I have not seen an interview with him where he promised to be ready. I have to think he will be, though. How many times do you get a chance to play in a world series?

This is a good article about the Tigers game from the local Seattle paper:



...Ivan Rodriguez, whose signing in 2004, followed by Ordonez a year later, started the Tigers' renaissance, flashed immediately on the handful of players still around from the nightmare season of 2003, when the Tigers needed to boost their image just to qualify as a laughingstock.
"I tell you what, when you're in the World Series, it's awesome," Rodriguez said. "I feel very happy for some of my teammates that were here when they lost 119 games, and they're all part of this celebration. This World Series is for them."

I am so glad the Tigers won. Going to games during the losing years was tough but I am not a fair weather fan. However, I am just one example of the thousands of Detroit fans. We support our team 110% even when we don't like what is going on cough cough see Lions.



GO TIGERS!!!!!

Man I love this pic... you can feel the crowds anticipation when it left the bat.

Another good thing about sweeping is there's less risk of injuries... keep an eye on players from N.Y or St. Louis getting injured giving extra effort.

68 revisited would be sweet... Tim McCarver will have nightmares... How bout Lolich hitting a couple dingers to help his cause.... Willie the Wonder nailing Lou Brock at home to save the game.

Good stuff!

A's manager Ken Macha was fired, too. I can't say I'm surprised though. Losing 4-0 like that. I realize Detroit is better, but the A's pretty much laid down. Shoulda released Frank Thomas while they were at it.

Nice link DeTT. If Lolich was getting his foot stompped back then maybe he had already started his career of evil. Sad.
Twinky's dead.
A's dead.
Yanks dead. Wonderful!
One of my good friends is an A's fans. Needless to say I laid into him with both hands.
