I am not a betting man, but if I were I would have to bet that more people watched the Detroit Tigers win Game 1 of the ALCS than who watched the debate.

The Coliseum was tame the entire game -- you could feel the place waiting to erupt, and every inning there was a double play or a spectacular grab that just punched the whole crowd in the gut. Except for me, of course -- I nearly lost my voice yelling. I even had a friend FedEx a Tigers jersey to me so that I could represent Motown properly from the second row of the upper deck! From where I was sitting, the ump called a terrible game. Not surprisingly, everyone around me agreed, too. Billfer was certainly sound in his prediction that the small zone would favor the A's, but hooray that it ended up giving the Tigers a boost. A fun story -- on the way back, I took the commuter rail and the car I was in was so packed with rowdy Tigers fans that nearly everyone else left in search of a more Oakland-friendly car.

Everything went our way. This was the game where the pitching matchup seemed to favor Oakland, I love our chances against Loaiza tomorrow. Really too bad about Casey though. Why why why were Santiago/Perez on the playoff roster instead of Shelton??? Great game Tigers! Everything went our way.

However, can we call someone up if we make it to the World Series? I know Shelton isn’t on the roster. Hence, “our worst fears” being realized.
