Wow! The Tigers beat the Yankees last night in the fifth game of the American League Division Series. Ed and I watched dumbfounded as closing pitcher Jose Valverde (called "Papa Grande") struck out or retired Yankee hitter after Yankee hitter.
TV cameras in the ninth inning kept panning the two dugouts. Max Scherzer, a Tiger pitcher, was bouncing up and down, like Disney's Tigger, through most of the ninth inning. "He looks like a little kid, doesn't he?" I said to Ed. It was obvious that the unthinkable -- beating the Yanks -- was close enough to touch, but not quite done. Ed's comment, "Yeah, he looks like our Max."
So this morning, we are "tarred" (that's Texas talk for being tired) and we are ready to watch the Dee-troit Tigers take on the Texas Rangers. Round em up, Tigers! Yee Haw!
