I can't believe how much they SUCKED before and now they are on to the World Series! It's amazing and everyone here in Detroit is so proud.

I was at Alpha Gam Headquarters for a meeting this weekend and was so worried about not being able to watch the Tiger games. We went to dinner last night and the restaurant had a bar area with a TV. The game was on and it was 3-3. I kept my eye on it as long as I could, but then we had to go back to IHQ and finish up our meetings. My phone vibrated during the meeting and I peeked to see who it was and it was my mom. Since she's been so sick lately, I was really worried, so I excused myself to check the voicemail she left. It was "I just wanted to be the first to tell you that the Tigers are going to the World Series". I was really excited. They did a great job and I can't believe they swept Oakland. I am very proud of our guys.
I am concerned that we have a whole week off before the Series, because we may lose momentum in that time period. Then again, we may have some time to recoup from some injuries. I guess time will tell!
This is really fun
As a fun aside, it was an EMU student (my alma mater) who caught the winning HR ball. Also, Oct. 14th was the day Kirk Gibson hit a homer to win Game 5 of the World Series in '84. I was at the game, and a 19 year old student at EMU at the time. I didn't catch that ball, sadly, but I did sit next to the U Mich band in the bleachers and they were a riot!
I really wish I could afford to take my kids to a World Series game as my dad took me to that one...
