I still have hope but right now it could be stored in a very small cup.

If the Tigers go 9-0 and the Yanks go 5-6 then we tie. 3 games ago most though the Tigs had a shot, all that needs to happen for the Yanks is like tonight for example Baltimore wins it in the 9th. Momentum... Yep,

As opposed to Comerica Park, where at just about any point when you are making the circle in the lower level, you can see out onto the field.

Nice ballpark, though. Felt small, however. The drum beating was obnoxious, yup. Nice ballpark, though. Felt small, however.

I'm disappointed that the Tigers had so many injuries, I'm disappointed that Brandon Inge, Nate Robertson and Jeremy Bonderman all took steps backwards this season (not to mention Craig Monroe). But, you know what, that's baseball. A baseball season never goes as scripted. Hell, David, you may be right ... perhaps the Tigers will win their final 9 games and the Yankees or Red Sox will take an 0-for... I hope they do. The beauty of baseball is that you can't predict from one moment to the next exactly what will happen. It unfolds a day at a time, a game at a time, an inning at a time. It's why we are all fans: because there is always hope. As a famous movie character once said, hope is the best of all things.

It's hard to say because since 88 there has been so much disappointment, those of us "of a certain age" had built up sort of a callous against the pain. Last year wiped it all away and now we are raw again. So quite honestly, if the miracle does not happen and the last game is next weekend in Chicago, I imagine I'll sulk like an 11 year old until Pitchers And Catchers Report, when the hope will rise all over again . . .

I was 11 in '88, so I don't remember what it feels like to be out of a pennant race that you are technically in. How long does the hurt last?
