Come on guys lets put our support behind the young guy tomorrow, Galarraga i think it is? Hopefully he can produce Jurrjen type numbers when he faced the Indians.

Let's touch base when we closer to the date. cib, that sounds like a great idea, I typically drag a bunch of my Cub-fan friends to 1-2 games every year anyway.

Mark in Chicago, you are correct, there is a mood, a feeling that I didn't see/feel during opening week. This team has bonded. What a night. Except I am getting too damn old to sit through Jonesy 9th innings. And I'm down to my last 3 Xanax. Hi kids, I’m home!!!

This is how the Indians won all last year. It's a start. Baby steps. We now need to graduate to the next level by recording a downright shillacking from inning 1 or 2, holding and keeping the lead, and allowing one of the starters to notch up some W's. If we can manage that in the next game or two, I'll be feel pretty good that the Tigers are officially rising from the ashes. Hey, why not get the poor play out of the way in April instead of August and September? As many others have commented, the middle of the order really came thru tonight. If 3 - 6 can manage to get streaky at once, perhaps with a soupcon of clutch hits from Polanco and Pudge, this lineup is gonna crush teams. But I get ahead of myself.... let's just take those baby steps and move on to the next level before we start talking about October. Two come-from behind victories — both dramatic.

Is that sad or what? Watch baseball too much do I? Indeed. Yeah, sorry to say shut up earlier, but man, people bash Miggy and it's so obvious that he is MUCH MUCH better than he has played so far. The guy is the real deal and he has about to show everyone why he just got that much money. We got a glimpse of that tonight, now he can just go rake that he can stop feeling like he has to prove that he's good to Tigers fans.
