In the end, the ‘84 Tigers get a night to themselves.
As it should be, the ‘84 team got to stand in front of Tiger fans to celebrate their 25 year anniversary. Because of the rain-out, the night belonged solely to them. This is the one night I would not have missed if I were anywhere near Detroit. Not meant to be I guess.
So tomorrow Detroit tries to knock down the Twins in a double header, the magic number standing at 6. A lot has been said about how games earlier in the season didn’t mean much, and that the Tiger’s playoff chances were going to come down to the last week of the season. I disagree; the Tigers are 5-9 against the Twins this year. Reverse that record and this week would have been meaningless, and Detroit could have readied the starting rotation for the playoffs.
