Yea, we noticed that too..funny stuff.

Being there today was absolutely amazing.

I'm kind of speechless about the moment...it was just incredible.

 

Delmon stepped up and I turned to my buddy and I said "he's gonna throw him a first pitch strike, and Delmon is gonna be all over it."

 

We were behind home plate, slightly towards the left field line, so it was hard to tell whether the ball would land fair, but once it did, we just went absolutely ape-shit -- complete strangers not just high-fiving but HUGGING each other.  One guy next to me hugged me and said "I love you man!"  I told him I loved him too.  My buddy who was there with me and I just screamed and screamed and screamed.  Once Hardy scored the final run I realized that THIS MOMENT was what we were waiting for for 17 years.  My head is still ringing.  Just an unbelievable experience.

You know, how often do we disect games, situations, etc...that basically play out exactly how they are discussed?

That BP has been a disaster...Ausmus is awful...how he takes Sanchez out today is beyond me.

The surprise has been how awful Soria has been but everything talked about has basically come true.

 

He said his limit was 30 pitches because he hadn't been fully stretched out since returning from the DL.  But damn, he looked nasty.

 

Does Price go 130 pitches Sunday?

I want to write a love letter to the Tigers bullpen! This has been a passionate two day love affair.

Yeah, Nickle and I both agreed to leave Sanchez in if we were managing them. Also, the third base coach killed them by sending Cabrera on that double. Game changing play.

@MarkWJZ

A stadium source tells me Joba took out his frustrations on some inanimate objects in & around the Tigers clubhouse. No damage report yet.

Just amazing.




When Delmon Young got that hit, that stadium was absolutely insane.

Perhaps the best single moment in my life other than the birth of my daughter. Holy shit what an experience.


I hope you're not married. And if you are, I hope she doesn't read this board!

She doesn't read the board. :D

I mean our wedding was cool and all but...

Seriously how big does that relay to keep them at six runs look now.

Well, its useless for me to even pretend to dislike Weber anymore. Just shared my best ever game experience with him and I was there only because he offered me the ticket.

 

 

 

Absolutely amazing stuff.

@EddieInTheYard: Delmon Young was asked in postgame if he has ice in his veins: "No not really. I might have some Cheetos later." #Orioles #Tigers #ALDS

Still can't believe what just happened. I have never made a better decision than the one I made to get the 13 game plan this year. Today was simply incredible. The whole stadium just knew we were going to win. A tiny bit of doubt creeped in with Sanchez... but once Joba came in, we all knew what was going to happen.

I've been to many baseball games in my time but that one has to be the most exciting one I've ever witnessed live.

 

Tremendous energy in at the Yard. I got chills hearing the "We Won't Stop" chant.

 

Thanks to Coach Ausmus for taking Sanchez out and allowing the floodgates to open. Delmon Young is the man and my voice is beyond gone.

 

2-0

Honestly with all the excitement during Young's double I thought we'd only tied the game. It was only after it settled down that i realized that we'd taken the lead. I had a rally cap on too. I think that's what did it for us. Probably the best experience I've had at a game in my life.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

I don't know about you guys, but I was absolutely hammered....who knew BARS didn't stop selling drinks after the 7th inning stretch?!??!!   I just woke up from my "nap" to a crab pretzel, some oreos, and some chips...I also wondered how I ended up on the couch passed out, and why on Earth was my wife in the kitchen at 8:00 at night (or morning?!??!!)  I was so confused....However, one thing I didn't forget is the EPICNESS that took place just a few hours ago....Wow!  Best game of my life so far....that was absolutely incredible!
