So what did they tell Vest when they went out to the mound?
”Imagine you are Sherlock Holmes and Moriarity has strapped a belt of explosives around a small child and if it explodes 2/3 of the Detroit Metro area will be destroyed by a neutron bomb.“
I’ve been watching Sherlock today and this is the first thing that came to my mind. Of course I’m really sick today. You need to cut me some slack.
Just for the record although most people know how this came about, in 2008 when the Tigers added Sheffield and Miggy and were expected to win the World Series and score 1000 runs -which is roughly 6 runs a game - it turned out to be a really bad year so sarcastically I started asking “where’s my six runs?“ Now there are many reasons to either ask this question or celebrate its achievement.
I’m laid up sick today with a bad cold so I haven’t been able to follow this game too closely but close enough to be alternatingly disappointed and happy as well.
