Motown Monday “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game” ~ The Marvelettes

What a befitting song for this day.

The Detroit Tigers had game 2, up 5-1 with a red hot pitcher who performed the was manager Leyland had hoped for and all of us expected. 13 KOs and hitless until the 6th inning. Max Scherzer as usual was on fire.

I will never understand the philosophy of taking this kind of pitcher out of the game. In the old days nobody was counting the pitches thrown, if they were doing good they continued until they weren’t doing good.

Denny McClain, Mickey Lolich were never pulled from fantastic pitching performances, they finished the game.

Boston didn’t win, Detroit handed them the game and there is a very distinctive difference.

Detroit Tigers Capture Third Straight ALC Title! 2013

10 Strikeouts in 7 innings!

Max Scherzer “Blackjack”.

I Love It! After getting win #21 and the Tigers clinching the ALC Tori Hunter said Max will now be called Blackjack!

And then Jim Leyland on this video had me crying. We Love You Skipper!

Pulse: Tigers sew up Central; AL Wild card still wild.

Sweep & Swept..Tigers season over.

No doubt here we’re stunned.

Sweeping the Yankee’s, a 2011 MVP & CY Young Pitcher, a 2012 Triple Crown winner but we sat on 5 days then came up flat. Nobody is sadder than the team themselves, we’re just 3+ Million fans sad with them.

But as I always say every team that plays wants it and there will only be one team that gets it. One city is celebrating and one city leaves empty. And that is the way it goes.

9 nights ago we partied on top of the world winning the AL Pennant and nothing can ever change that. The entire Detroit/Michigan were proud then and guess what WE ARE STILL PROUD now.

And that’s the way it should be.

I Feel A Sweep & Pennant Coming On! Detroit Tigers/New York Yankees…3 Down 1 to Go to World Series.

 

Justin Verlander pitched another in classic Verlander style throwing just a two hit game into the 9th when he gave up his third being a home run to spoil the shutout. Detroit loves this guy so much we felt bad for him that he didn’t get it, the shutout that is. His spectacular performance did get him the Win, Phil Coke the save and Delmon Young came through again.

 

Biased Baseball Announcers as I said it would be. New York, New York, New York. OH TOO BAD Tigers Win First Game.

Hey Thanks to Valverde we gave you a chance you should have never gotten.

Doug Fister pitched a fabulous game.

Justin Verlander 11 K’s 4 Hit Shutout, Detroit Tigers put away Oakland to ALCS!

EDIT: THIS IS LAST YEARS. JUSTIN HERO AGAIN 2013.

This is your 2013 DETROIT TIGERS ALDS CHAMPS FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR. Click It!!!

Our 2011 MVP showed why he was the MVP by shutting out the Oakland A’s 6 zip with 11 K’s and allowing only 4 hits. And the rest of the team did what they did best, fighting hard with the bats that chased down Chicago then surpassing them at the end of the season to win the ALCD title.

Verlander surpassed Sandy Koufax 1965 strike out record of 10 and went the full nine innings to finish Oakland’s season.

Detroit Tigers 2012 ALC CHAMPS Times Two!

I never met a team who makes me feel the way that you do…well alright.

And Up & Down We Go!

But we landed on Top two years in a row and hopefully we will be that ride that got stuck up in the air for the duration until we win it all. Maybe a month later only then can we all come back down.

Steam Roller Boys, Steam Roller…Take no prisoners!

Thank You Detroit Tigers For A Great Ride!!!

Some will want to give their great analogies of who did what, who didn’t do what and what they all should have done individually. To me they Win as a team and they Lose as a team. No rights, no wrongs.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet Baby! Detroit Tigers Finish Off New York Yankees…On Their Way To The ALCS!
