1) Tuning in last night and watching the start of the game was all too surreal, and I think when I go to Friday night's game will be even more. The Tigers were the prime time game on Fox, with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver announcing for a national audience with the Tigers in Yankee Stadium for a playoff game!!!! I asked Michele to pinch me to make sure it was for real.
2) The Tigers 1 through 3 hitters did have 7 hits.
3) Detroit does/did not look scared or intimidated.
4) The Tigers must score runs when they have runners on 2nd or 3rd and no outs. Absolutely must!!!!
5) I have no problems with the hit and run with Mags and Pudge.
6) I forgot how much fun it is to watch playoff games in New York. Yankees fans are the absolute best. Cheering and booing every play. Every time the other team is up and putting a rally together the looks in the crowd are total despair and end of the world drama. Priceless.
7) I think last night is the Yankees at their best. The Tigers can do better. The Tigers did not rollover and play dead. They fought back, if the Tigers play their best who knows.
8) The Tigers bullpen only gave up 2 hits as well. One was a Jeter homer but.........
9) Jeter is every bit our generations Joe Dimaggio. We just have all the media to take away the mystique and aurora.
10) Outside of Mariano, the New York bullpen is a mess. Which is why.........
11) I think Torre rolled the dice and took Wang out early, expecting to have to use him on 3 days rest on Saturday. The Tigers have a real good chance to win tonight and Friday (if Verlander and Rogers are there normal selfs). That could mean Game 4 on Saturday at Comerica could be a series clincher. Who would New York throw up there?
I am not saying the Tigers will have that chance come Saturday, but I think it was in the back of Torre's mind.
