OnWis97 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I decided to just go at the last minute tonight by myself. Paid $50 for a $27 ticket (got there 10 mins before game and wanted to just get in). Best $50 I ever spent. It was one of those great loud dome atmospheres that I have not been fortunate enough to witness in person. I agree with Tank. 3rd best game ever there after 1991 Games 6 and 7. Roughly 4.5 hours, but it flew by, as every pitch was important after about the 5th inning. A small market team with injured Slowey, Crede and one-time MVP Justin Morneau, coming back to force this game and keep on matching Detroit run for run. And to end it? .205 hitter Casilla knocks in .225 hitter Gomez.The two home runs and the double play (9th inning?) nearly blew the roof off of the dump.

fiasco! Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Sorry, Joel and Gary.Best team won, plain and simple. The Twins deserve the Central this year with the way they played to end the season. They have the hot hand right now and the Yankees better not be resting on their laurels.I am disappointed in the Tigers, for sure, but I have endured far worse disappointments as a fan. Remember, I've been a fan of this team for most of my 36 years (and a Lions fan too), so I know disappointment intimately. LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schtee Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm no Tigers fan, but I'm still peeved that Brandon Inge got robbed on the Hit-By-Pitch non-call. Baseball's rules are quite clear that even hitting clothing is sufficient.

schtee Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah, the Hit-By-Pitch rule has to stay like it is because the ball can graze fabric and not the body even on a tight 70's style jersey. Less subjective for the Ump to leave the rule as is.I'm just frustrated because I feel like the Tigers had a better shot to dump the Yanks in a short series because of their starting pitching. And the Twinkies have been a pinstripe-punching bag. @aghease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 One judgement for an ump on a HBP is if he can hear it. Well, obviously in the Dome, he couldn't.

I've posted a screen-cap and the rule here:http://sheahey.blogspot.com/2009/10/robbbbbed.htmlWith bad calls,we tend to focus on the losing team. However, I think Casilla was safe a couple of innings earlier, which would have ended the game prior to Inge's HBP.

NJTank Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It would have been a cheap HBP any way. I am glad the ump called it the way he did, the Tigers had the bases loaded one out, if they could not get a run home then shame on them. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
