Damn, being one single away from the lead is as close as one can expect. 9th will be an uphill battle.

Wenceel remembered his jump, forgot his glove.

I forgot.

I again disagree with pinch hitting for Carpenter here. Especially with 2 outs 0 on.

Wings go ahead while the Tigers were going behind. DeBrincat with the goal.

Too much excitement.

Puck dropped

Sweeney had a chance to practically put the game away, with bases load. But will settle for 3-2 Tigers after 6. 3 outs to go.

Tigers lead 3-2. But why does TBS have the crowd noise turned down so low for all its broadcasts?

2 on, 1 out, Smith pulled. No time like the present.

Smith made that strike out of Vierling look easy. 1 on, 1 out

2-2 middle of the 6th. Top of the Tigers’ order coming up. If they can scrape out a run here they’d only be 9 outs away from victory.

Canadian TV coverage (Sportsnet 360) for viewers in Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador. Pens coming off a 6-0 loss to the Rangers last night.

I have felt that way from the opening pitch and still do. 2-2.

Guardians lead 2-1 on Ramirez blast.

Bibee’s pitch count was rising, with 34 through 1 1/3, but then was only 37 through 2 1/3.

Exactly. Living dangerously. Thank your lucky stars he only gave up one and the game is tied. Enough arms to put in someone else for the 4th.

Bibee let off the hook.

The QT one stands out for me, ugh, such a clash. At least it’s not the NHL, yet, which allows stains like this to the front of the jersey.

So this setup is similar to ALDS against the Yankees in 2006 - Tigers up 2 games to 1 with a chance to end the series with a Game 4 win. We remember how great that turned out. Everyone remembers for the Kenny Rogers et al. post-game celebrations with the fans, as do I, but I also remember it as the last game I ever attended with my dad. And I think it was his final time at a Tigers game, ever, even though he lived another 6 years.

Poor Bob. Poor us the viewers. It’s getting painful.

Leafs get shut out by the Habs 1-0 in the season opener for both teams. Leafs offensively played like the Cleveland Guardians on ice.

Sean Casey saluting Tigers fans.

Mets win and advance to the NLDS. What a terrible call by Costas on the Isbel double. He was asleep until the ball landed. He is having a rough playoffs. 2-2 Yankees-Royals in the 5th inning.

Lindor is something else. Grand slam in 6th inning gives Mets a 4-1 lead as they try to end series tonight.
