2012 World Series

[CaveatLector]

Tigers lose game 1. They didn't show up, plain and simple. They go from sweeping the Yankees, to their hitters not performing and their pitching being severely lackluster.

 

Verlander got a visit from the pitching coach which really gave the crowd fodder. What happened after that? Sandoval's 2nd homer.

 

I don't remember who it was but what about that pitch, after Verlander was taken out, that bounced before it got anywhere near the plate?

 

Then look at Delmon Young just standing there picking his nose instead of running to 1st base after his "hit." He caused a double play.

 

So now we look ahead to game 2. Tigers down 1. Hostile territory. Pacific time zone. So that's the setting as far as the mental game. As for the physical, I guess Gore can't blame the altitude as the stadium is quite literally one Sandoval homer away from San Fran Bay . . .

Two steps forward(sweep the Yankees) , three steps back(lost game one) . Hope they show up to play tonight .

The Tigers are not set up to play National League baseball. Delmen (the Hater) Young is only a DH. He can.t play the field. The infield has no range. The team has no closer at the moment. So .. the Tigers need to steal a game in Frisco and sweep at home or it.s 2006 all over again. See you next spring.

Fister has been strong, I think we turn it around tonight.

That was painful to watch, the boys need to get on it and quick, reminding me of our last apperance 5 days off after the sweep then the cardinals shut us out!!!

 

We have done it before we can still pull this off, I have faith in our home team!

 

I missed a halloween party for that game, grrrr lol

Heartbreaking stuff. The fact we got swept makes it that much worse.
