Starting Monday with my brother in the stands, the Tigers struck gold early, scoring six runs in the third inning en route to a 9-5 win in Detroit. It was an electric atmosphere, with the Lions preparing for their season-opening Monday Night Football game across the street.

Wednesday didn’t go well, but it allowed Kansas City to show their true immature colors in the rain. $narf won’t forget how you acted in our ballpark.

They were beat 4-2 the night before. Rajai Davis smacked a two-run homer to support Max Scherzer’s gutsy effort. Our manager made a real clutch move, taking Blaine Hardy out as soon as the poor snarf walked a leadoff hitter. That run would score in a close inning.

Joe Nathan finally arrived. In the ninth, two on, one out, the Royals gave away the series by substituting an ice cold Dyson for Aoki, an already fast player on second base. Nathan caught a signal from Ian Kinsler and picked Dyson off promptly. The ballpark erupted for the second out. Nathan already had himself one strike as the crowd rose to their feet. After fouling one off, he struck out the final hitter swinging to end the game, punching his fist and letting out a, “Hell yeah!”
