RED WINGS WIN!!! And even more impressive..JOHAN FRANZEN NETS THREE for a hat trick!! Johan MFing Franzen!!! I am loving life right now as the Wings won, the Tigers are up 1 in the bottom of the 7th (Galarraga took a no hitter into the sixth, I like this guy) and the Lions are trying to improve. Today is truly a great day and I will close it off with a nice victory dip of Grizzly (because I'm a cheapass and because damnit, it works). More draft coverage (by that I mean more questioning of the Lions drafting ability) tomorrow but nothing like today, just some light commentary or whatever. Wings go to Denver Monday night (on VERSUS yay!) with a 2-0 lead in the series. The Pistons play tomorrow in Philly and will probably lose again because apparently that's just what they do these days. Could be a long hot summer in Auburn Hills, but hey, at least we have the Shock!
Angels tie the game in the top of the seventh with Lopez on the bump now out of the bullpen.
Granderson triples in the bottom of the seventh with one out. Remember when I said I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of him just yet? Well, Grando is officially back now! He looks like he hasn't missed a beat and that is great news for the Tigers. Sheffield comes to the plate wearing an 0-3 collar so far with runners on the corners after the Angels walked Polanco. Dad has soured on Sheff as of late because he's just not what he used to be. Sheff grounds to second and they botch the turn!! "That is the only fucking way he gets on base ever!!" and that is a direct quote, not from Dad either...that was Mom! It always makes me laugh when she starts swearing, I had no idea she was such a huge Tigers fan...jeez, you think you know somebody. Maggs hits a shot to left that drops in, and scores Polanco and now with runners on 2nd and 3rd they walk Miggy to get to Jacque who hits a sac fly to left to score Sheff. Great to see the Tigers answer back after a three run inning with one of their own. Renteria comes up with runners at first and second and hits a ball up the middle and makes Mom yelp when Maggs almost gets caught off third. "Scaring the shit out of me they are!" Nice Mom...nice. Pudge comes up with the bases juiced and two out...something tells me that a strikeout is in order...I was wrong...he decided to ground to third instead and the inning is over...gotta love it baby, gotta love it!
On an entirely different and borderline depressing note, Astro the Dog died last night. At least he got to kill one more cat before he left us. It's ok though, he was pretty old, and he was pretty blind, and he was pretty deaf.
Talking about the 49ers offense and how horrible they are, Steve Young says, "If there were 50 teams, they would have finished 50th." This is just after Chris Berman used the term, "Anemic," which is almost better than Berman's infamous, "You're with me leather." (click on the link, I'm begging you, seriously, do it...do it...do it!) Jets on the clock, they don't choose Henne, they take the TE from Purdue and the crowd goes...well let's just say there was a lot of 40+ year old with their hands on their heads saying, "What? Who? Whyyyy?" Gotta love Jets fans on draft day.
Jonesy on to close out the game in the top of the 9th with a two run lead...as always, I'm just a little bit scared. First guy flies out, next guy singles, third guy grounds out to second, two away with Chone Figgins at the plate in front of a full to the gills Comerica Park. Brandon Inge almost catches a foul ball on the third base side...gritty play from a gritty player. Figgins grounds to the hole, Renteria makes a great play and a great throw and the Tigers win!!!
Ahhh...what a great day.
