I think this is correct.

Granted, but compared to some clubs that’s a small sample.

After it became available on mlb.tv, I revisited the Tigers seventh inning and the Guardians ninth and those guys in the Cleveland dugout were a sad looking crew. As were their fans. I’m amazed that for the deciding game of this series Cleveland still couldn’t get a sell out. A part of me still feels like I’m dreaming. Short of a collapse it looks like the Yankees are cruising to win.

I’m toying with watching the Yankees - Red Sox elimination game, but I don’t know if I can weather fawning celebration of these two teams on ESPN.

Looks like Skubal won’t be able to pitch against Seattle until game three in Detroit. It’ll be like his last time, pitching on the sixth day. Too bad he’s not like Mickey Lolich who pitched game 5 in Detroit in the ‘68 series and on the third day game 7 in St. Louis.

I feel like a lot of the seeming toxins that accumulated in me towards the end of the season have been flushed out. I’m re-achieving an equanimity that’s been lacking and it’s a relief. Honestly, there’s been times where I felt like there was broken glass in my bloodstream. I obviously take this stuff too seriously.

Tigers presser on now.

A lot of respect for Cleveland and the moxie it took to come back from the scandal of two pitchers taken from them for gambling, and being so far back, it was the good feeling story of 2025 just as the Tigers were last year. But their loss is our gain, and I’m not shedding too many tears for them.

On MLB.TV and Cleveland is up and going right now, but the Tigers are so busy celebrating. They haven’t had theirs yet.

I guess the Tigers are too busy celebrating their post game interview is not up and going yet.

MLB TV will be showing the Tigers press conference in the next few minutes. They have the title card up right now but the press conference at hell itself hasn’t started yet. i’d love to see the locker room celebration.

I actually don’t care what happens after this. This is so sweet, anything after this is gravy. It would be great to keep moving on, but I’m just savoring this right now. Beating Cleveland, the team that beat us 16 times one year or whatever? Damn this makes me happy.

Two outs

We just need clean inning and it begins with nobody on base.

All they have to do is allow no more than two runs in the bottom of the 9th. That’s not so hard. That’s not asking for too much. It’s not like I’m asking for a DeLorean and time travel or anything.

Oh, no, stop this immediately.

I have figured it out. I am only following this on game day while watching the remastered Star Trek original series. I think this is the magic elixir. I’m not allowing myself to be disturbed by national announcers.
