Tigers 2nd Tiger game

1) Wow, have I never been more unproductive at work than I was yesterday from 3pm on.

2) The Tigers "two best hitters" seem to be the most scared people out there, Ordonez and Pudge. Menawhile, the young guys are tearing it up - Monroe, Thames, and Granderson. As well as.....

3) Verlander and Zumaya...wow!!! 23 year olds throwing 100mph fastballs in Yankee Stadium during a playoff game. Not backing down at all. Except for one Johnny Damon swing (which is all it takes in baseball sometimes) they were near perfect. These guys had better be around the Tigers organization for awhile.

4) Brandon Inge has got to go. Sorry, I know he has been a Tiger the longest and has done anything the team has asked him (played catcher, left field, 3rd base, etc.) everytime they have asked him. But he is brutal at the plate. Maybe I wouldn't be so down on him if everyone in Detroit didn't think he was the next Alex Rodriguez. Which leads me to.......

5) No way A-Rod is back in New York next year. A guy that goes .340/35/130 every year should not be as big a "bad guy" as he is in New York. He is way too worried about making a mistake rather than just playing and doing what comes natural.

6) I still love New York fans, and it is even better to watch them when they are losing and then when the Yankess have lost, it is award winning stuff. I wish I had access to a New York sports talk radio show.

7) As unproductive as I was yesterday at work, I may be even more today. My excitement level is too high in anticipation of being at tonight's game. I may just sit at my desk and watch the clock tick away. Then turning around and going to tomorrow's game as well. Priceless!!!

Let's go Tigers!!!!
