Tiger fans unite time for us to win and make some money too come on in..............

They play at Comerica Park...not Tiger Stadium...shows how much you go to Tiger's games.

Down 3 games to 1. The Tigers won three straight. And that was 1968 not 1967. 67 was between the Cardinals and Red Sox.

Yeah? I was just correcting him.

There is a lot more to do at Comerica for the younger generation.

Gotta tell you a Tiger story from this year.  Was at the Indians - Tiger game on Aug. 5.   Game was tied 5-5 going into the bottom of the ninth.  Had my future son-in-law with me and it was his first Tiger game and he now has become a huge Tiger fan.  Anyways bottom of the ninth and Jackson leads off with a Triple.  So the Indians bring the right fielder in to load up the infield they intenionally walked Infante.  First and third no one out.  Cabrera pops up to the infield one out.  Fielder hits into a taylor made double play.  Top of the tenth Hafner and Carrera homer a single stolen base and a double and the Indians are up by three.  I said to my future son-in-law lets get out of here and beat the traffic remember its his first Tigers game.  We get on to I-75 North heading to I-94 and back to Port Huron to cross at Sarnia.  Well it begins in the bottom of the Tenth we are listening to the game on the radio.  One out, Two out and i said to him well at least we didn't miss anthing and no sooner did i have the words out of my mouth and a double another double a single and by now it comes around to Cabrerra and he says if he hits a home run i am going to be pissed well its well hit to deep left center field its way back its out of here well they end up winning 10-8.  I really felt bad for him his first Tiger game and i took him out early to beat the traffic probably the biggest come back in any single game for the Tigers in a long while.
May not have got all the play by play correct but as good as i could remember it   Unbelieveable.

It doesn't matter that much lol. The play by play was intentional walk to both Cabrera and Fielder. Delmon hit into the double play. Batters 6 and 7 both got out. Then 8,9,1,2 and Cabrera homered. The game is never over until it was over. I was working that day...and had a feeling my grandpa shut the game off on the radio...well I couldn't call until Cabrera came up to bat...and has soon as I called him and told him what was going on is when Cabrera homered. You got the final score right and everything in 10th...games are always fun. There is a lot to do around the stadium as well. Nice story.

Should have said batters 8,9,1 and 2 got on base to get Cabrera up to bat. And is over***

Whenever I type more than I should...it always leads to mistakes. Sorry about that.

Ok lets look at the series.  Negatives we are down 0-2.   San Fran hotter than hell and catching some breaks.   Positives we are home with the DH rule more defense with Berry in left and Dirks in right.  Friendly confines of Comerica Park and the home crowd.  Win this one big game tonight with Sanchez and then Scherzer and Verlander to follow.  This is a huge game tonight not like i have said due or die but a must win.   Boys will be happy to be back at home in front of a loud friendly crowd and i  think the Tiger players are probably real tired of all the San Fran talk in the papers that Detroit is done.  Lets get that first win tonight its mandatory.  LETS GO TIGERS.

I didn't say it was harder to hit a home run  in either park what i said was if the two home runs that were hit to center field in the first game if it was Comerica Austin Jackson would have had both because he would have had another 25 or so feet to run and catch the ball and he would have had both of them with  his speed.  He ran out of room and that is why i called it a band box.  Check out Comerica Park tonight you will see how much deeper it is and watch Jackson run down almost anything that is hit out there.  Besides all that, i am letting the San Fran fans run there mouth the last couple of days and let the chips fall where they might.
