Good Ninth Inning Comeback

It was nice to see that the Tigers did not lie down against J.J. Putz in the 9th inning yesterday.  After Ivan Rodriguez struck out, Brandon Inge drew a walk to start the rally.  Curtis Granderson singled to move Inge over to third, and Placido Polanco singled to right to bring Inge home.  The Tigers then [...]

Can’t We Get A Relaxing Win?

The Tigers cruised through a good part of this game, but in the 9th, the Mariners scored 4 runs to cause Jim Leyland to bring in Todd Jones.  The last three games in Arizona were anything but relaxing as I was nervous almost on every pitch.  I thought tonight the Tigers would get the first [...]

Yankee Stadium is one of the most (if not the most) majestic stadium in Major League Baseball. If you have ever been there, you know there is a lot of history surrounding the building outside and inside the park. I had the privilege of going to two games at the House that Ruth built. On [...]

Not Quite Enough, Still Nice To See

Tonight’s game was a good game to watch, especially if you were an impartial observer.  For Tiger fans, it was also a good game, but they saw a 4 game winning streak by their team end.  Here’s a recap. Both starting pitchers looked great in the first 3 innings not allowing a run.  In the 4th, [...]
