Tigers Sweep A's!!!!!


Tigers swept the A's tonight 6-3 in game 4 of the ALCS and are World Series bound!!!! First time since 1984. Jeremy Bonderman started off the night not as well as he should have but the Tigers battled back and the game was tied at 3-3 for most of the game. In the bottom of the 9th Maglio Ordonez Smacked a 3 run homer to win the game and sweep the series. So, who's next? That depends on who wins the Cards / Mets series.

For a while it was looking like it was going into a 5th game. Everyone was holding their breath at every pictch and at bat. I had faith in my boys but it was heart stopping. A very emotional celebration took place on the field as players wearing the American Leauge Champions shirt and hats ran around the out field for the fans.


After the Tigers beat the Yankees the fans poured out of the Comerica Park, but tonight they stayed put and celebrated with the team. This is a very special win for this very special team. No one in the beginning had any idea that they would go this far. But I did. I knew. And I was right. Jim Leyland should win manager of the year for this and if he doesn't, he was robbed. Three years ago, this team had the worst record in baseball. Last year it wasn't much better. This year they are headed to the Wprld Series. BLESS YOU BOYS!!!!! We love you!!!!!
