Just what the Doctor ordered. Knock down number two, throw a perfect strike from center field to home plate and stand tall. All this after a tense, but exciting game Sunday afternoon in Comerica Park where the game ends on a double-play preventing a bases-loaded meltdown from happening in the 9th.
Austin Jackson for President!! Okay. Not yet.
There are still a few to play and the only guarantee we really have is that the Tigers cannot lose 100 games this year. But we are getting closer to capturing the Cy Young for our Justin Verlander - possibly sewing that up this week - and while the Detroit Tigers will have their hands full in Tampa starting Monday evening, they will also be feasting on Kansas City and Minnesota going down this stretch and that could wrap up the campaign in September.
What is that I smell coming from the kitchen? It's another slate of fantastic Specials at CUBS' AC where the real sports fans know the secret is in the taste and the game is on the big screens and the frosty beverages are flowing profusely.*
GO TIGERS!!
*I always wanted to use that word somewhere.
