Tigers vs. A's in the ALCS -- Game 3

Well tonights game was supposed to be at 8pm but sadly Fox does not believe that the Tigers are good enough and they need to make sure that for the rest of the series that NY gets the primetime slot. They claimed that it was because of the weather but that was BS. Also there is rumors that the World Series will still be NY Yankees vs. the NY Mets regardless of what happens in the two CS series.

Now let's discuss the game. I made sure to set up the DVR to start recording it at 4pm and I made sure that I ignored all radio and internet so that I would be able to get home from work and not have any clue what the score was. Amazingly I was able to make that work. My wife screwed up and at about 4:45 she called to ask if she was supposed to be watching the game on ESPN.com. She finally realized that she shouldn't be watching but was spoiled for the 1st inning. Sadly for her 2 of the total 3 runs the Tigers scored were in the 1st. Again, Kenny Rogers like a week earlier came in and pitched a 7+ inning shutout. This post season he has pitched 15 innings and given up 0 runs. This from a guy who was expected to continue his career choking in the post-season. Jonesy came in for the save in the 9th and lucky made it less dramatic as game 2.

The Tigers have now won 6 straight and on their way to hopefully sweeping the A's today in Comerica Park. The game is about to start so I need to end this. Go Tigers!!!!
