One Game Away

Tigs one win from first flag since '84
Kenny Rogers became the first Tigers pitcher ever to make consecutive scoreless playoff starts. As the towel-waving sellout at Comerica Park frequently chanted his first name, Rogers went 7 2/3 innings, allowed two hits (one on the infield), and beat Oakland, 3-0. If it had been any colder, he might have thrown a no-hitter. -- 7:28 pm


The Detroit Tigers are one game away from clinching a spot on the World Series. Dad and I pondered the idea of going tonight or tomorrow but have decided that we're going to take out chances and get tix to the World Series instead. Michigan is unseasonably cold right now, but it's good to be bundled up and powering through the wind. Working on Incue projects at various internet locales, mostly Starbucks on Lahser and Maple and the Border's on Novi Road. Both have piping hot coffee and a lack of loud talkers. I slip on the headphones, fire up some Floyd on iTunes and get to work. At it hard three hours before the California boys, so they have somethin' to read when they walk through the door in Culver City. Photos of the game to follow.
