Tigers v Skankees was a GREAT game last night.

The Detroit Choir of God did your National Anthem. It was real classy.

Then This: (Also Detroit Choir of God)



It wasn't the same video that played last night, of course. Parts were the same (like the city of Detroit footage and some of the children) but the sports footage was all Tigers)

Holy shit. Verlander is amazing. He pitched the entire first 8 innings and was throwing 100mph right up to the end. He struggled a little in the 7th inning and gave up a couple of walks that should have been avoided (he let the fuckers catch up!) but he got it back together for the 8th inning.

I love Papa Grande.



Some drunk guy heckled the hell out of Sabathia through the entire game. He was screaming "HEY CC! I've got some potato chips up here!" It was funny the first couple of times, but after that it got tired. Because you know what? Clearly the man isn't in bad physical shape if he can pitch like that. And it's not his fault he plays for the Yankees.

People were SO excited last night. I've been to a few games, but clearly never to the playoffs. I couldn't get over how high energy the crowd was. And friendly as hell. The guy sitting in the seat to my left was at the game alone (he was older, I'd give him 65-70) and every time we all jumped to our feet he'd grab my elbow and haul me up with him. By the end of the game we were best friends, I swear. He even hugged me when we won.

I think we'll win these playoffs. Just one more tiny game, that's all it's gonna take.
