I’ve never been happier to have my CC charged $900.  
 

baseball on my birthday next week. So much for wanting Baltimore. 

 

This was me in March after Purdue beat Gonzaga.

They literally just charged my card a moment ago. 

I remember that joyful instant charge when the Lions beat the Rams last year.

Not sure if I can watch TBS in Canada. *sadface*

Where does this playoff run rate in Detroit sports lore?

[oblong]

Seriously… after they went down 2-1 it seemed inevitable.  That’s the kind of comeback that shows a different team.  It can’t be chalked up to luck.

I'm not sure if that graphic was right or not but it said that Ibanez pinch hit was the first pinch hit in Tiger history to put the team ahead. In history? Can't be...

[Chopper]

I love you Andy Ibáñez! 🤭

Nobody...nobody expected this run. It just wasn't supposed to happen.

Ever?  Or in the playoffs.

 

Definitely not ever.

[MichiganCardinal]

Skubal in game two on five days rest and game five (if needed) on four days rest?

This is fantastic.

Congratulations to the Tigers & all their fans. 🎉🐅❤️

Agreed, this team didn't just squeak in there. They dominated teams when they needed to down the stretch with that bullpen (and timely hitting). I had full confidence that they would not roll over even being down late. Amazing really.

How did you purchase?

Here I am isolated in central Idaho, surrounded by a bowl of mountains, and nobody to hold my hand during this cardiac of a game, but at 9 AM on Saturday morning — that’s right 9 AM according to MAX — I can watch the Tigers play the Guardians in the first game of the next series.

Sportsnet or TSN will have it. All MLB playoff games are on Canadian TV

Holding Houston to 2 runs in that 7th inning was huge. This Tiger team just keeps coming back. Defense, pitching and timely hitting will win SO many games...

9 AM??? What time zone is THAT?

If it's like the Lions, they charge season ticket holders immediately as long as you opt in during the season.

Though tickets on StubHub aren't that bad right now. $83 before fees for the cheapest ticket.

It's a 1pm game on a Wednesday though, so makes sense.

Mountain time zone; parts of Idaho are even in Pacific time, but I’m in mountain time two hours earlier than eastern.
