Magic Number 4

 

By this point, I’m sure most of you have read several game recaps covering these two ball games.  Seeing as how I attended game one, and made it home in about the third inning of game two, I decided to skip the usual recap and just sprinkle in some thoughts about the series thus far.

 

  • Curtis Granderson is really coming around, eh?  He is now 10 for his last 16 and six of those hits have been for extra bases.  He did still have a Granderson-like pop up with a runner in scoring position in game one, but overall, he is hopefully coming around at just the right time. 
  • Fernando Rodney- Game two was a typical Demon Drop ride for Tiger fans, but it certainly wasn’t the fault of Rodney.  Placido Polanco and Granderson both misplayed balls that lead to the Twins’ run, and almost cost the Tigers the game.  He certainly earned the save last night.
  • The ’84 celebration- Mother Nature didn’t cooperate fully, but the video tribute and the speech from Sparky Anderson sent chills through everyone in attendance.  Or was that just the 50 degree temperature coupled with the wind and rain?  No, it was seeing all those greats again.
