Valium calms fan’s bullpen fears

Didn’t get home to be able to turn the game on until the seventh inning last night.  Watching Zach Miner struggle to throw strikes in the seventh?  Didn’t bother me.  Wow, what a great play by Zach at the plate to tag out the runner!  Eighth inning, Miner walks one with two outs… no problem.  Bobby Seay to the rescue!  Blast off Seay… no problem, #1 in tiger fan’s hearts Clete Thomas tracks it down.

Fernando Rodney in for the save, after a long-er outing on Monday?  No worries.  Single, stolen base, walk, passed ball?  Not a care.  Detroit will take care of this.  Detroit won’t lose.  Fly-out, line-out, ground-out, just as they draw it up before the game.  Tigers win, 5-3.  Fans have a night little Tuesday night.

Oh, right, I have some dental work today and my dentist prescribed me some Valium to take last night.  So while every other Tiger fan was nervous, I wasn’t nearly as ‘on-edge’.  Know what?  I’d recommend it to any fan for the stretch run.
