Two up and going home

One thing is for sure, the Tigers are up 2-0 against the Yankees heading back to Comerica.  Love it.  True, the Tigers have gotten more than one favorable call in the series.  That's the way the game works.  Girardi is trying to "make a statement" by claiming that instant replay needs to be used in MLB games.  Two things Joe: 1) Your team hasn't scored any runs the past two games against starting pitchers.  Actually, off anyone but Papa Potato.  That's your bad. 
2) Even if there was instant replay, they would never check on an out at a base.  Torre said they would check on things like foul versus fair balls and whether a ball was caught or trapped.  So Joey G, even if there was instant replay, the two calls you are disputing would not have been looked at.  End of story.  Tell your team to get their bats moving and soldier on.

The Tigers starting pitchers, and half the bullpen, are pitching lights out baseball.  The Yankees don't know what to do with themselves.  With ARod, Cano, Swisher, and Granderson hitting below .200, things are looking a little dismal for the fellas in Old York.  The bigger story though is the Tiger hitters coming through in the clutch.  Infante sparkles in the nine spot.  Peralta makes the hits when it counts and has made some stellar defensive plays.  Peralta and Dirty Dirks also pack a nice one-two punch in the middle of the lineup.  AJacks and Tigerberry are getting on when it counts.  Once Cabby and Princey Pie start clicking, this offense is really going to shine.

This Tigress is going to the game on Wednesday for (fingers crossed) a chance for the sweep.  With Verdiggity pitching tomorrow, I have very high hopes that the Comerica crowd will carry him through.  The excitement of October baseball is in the air.  Even a coworker who didn't know there were games last week commented on watching the Tigers win twice this weekend.  That, my friend, is the bandwagon.  Hop on and have some fun.
