    Down 8-6, bottom of 9th, 1 out, 2 men on.......3-run walkoff HR to dead center field.

    I'm a believer.

    I was just about to put up a "Good Morning, Joel" post, but I wanted to listen to the post-game interviews on ESPN and WEEI.

    Morning, Joel! (snoozing in your comfy, comfy bed.)

    That wasn't "M-V-P" you were hearing. It was "Please help me" as Sox fans were falling into the sink holes of the Big Dig :wink:

    And the Tigers beat up the Tribe bullpen also. But unlike the Sox it's 2 in the 6th, 2 in the 7th, and 3 in the 8th. Back from a 5-0 hole. No walk off Sports Center stuff, just great "win it in the 8th shut em down in the 9th" baseball.

    Just like what the Sox did tonight. Solo shot by Papi in the 8th to go ahead, and then Papelbon Sports Center highlight closing stuff in the 9th. :D

    Perhaps I didn't make it clear. Beating up the Tribe bullpen....BELIEVABLE.

    Got me on that one Rick. If the Tigers could have beaten up on Tampa they'd be more than 7 1/2 games better than the Sox.

    For those that don't follow the Tigers closely, Detroit is 5-2 against Tampa Bay this season :D

    A year ago who'd a thunk it? A burgeoning rivalry on this board between the Tigers and Red Sox. :)

    Rivalry? Nah. Everyone is a Detroit fan here.

    ...except maybe her :arrow: [​IMG] :D

    A team built on good pitching, in a park built for pitching? What's not to like?

    You know, I look at that sign, I look at the arrow, and I think I know what she's talking about.
