Back to back sweeps.

Is six wins in a row also a Bert?

[IdahoBert]

Holy moly I missed all of this because I spent the last 30 minutes trying to get mlb.com to admit that I existed. They suddenly decided that my phone number was different than it’s been for 20 years that my password was different. I spent 20 minutes or so online with a really great customer service guy by the way and finally got it all resolved and I just assumed we’ve lost this game.

I’m watching the bottom of the ninth right now

That sounds like what usually happens to me.

Since calling up Perez, the Tigers are 6-0. Yeah, a coincidence. He only has one hit in all of his games but maybe he's our good luck charm? If you believe in that sort of thing.

A total moment of panic when the right fielder got that ball....he's gonna throw Riley out, isn't he? That guy has a cannon for an arm.

I chuckled when Riley hit the double because they showed a lady in the crowd pointing at her rally cap. Thank goodness she flipped her hat inside out or it would have been a loss.

Back when we played the Dodgers at home and had that big comeback with Keith’s HR and then Urshelas game winner, I was at that game and not only did I turn my hat into a rally cap, but I took the free Detroit Stars hat that was the giveaway for the game and turned that into a rally cap as well.  I wore double rally caps and we came back from being down 5 in the ninth to win.

I got so many high fives and so much credit from other fans walking out of Comerica that day.

Runners on first and second… Carp Ks. Dingler up… lines out and all hope is lost… strike out king Riley up… Riley, thinking he’s on the golf course… all is lost all is lost… life sucks… double down the line oh my goodness we’re tied… Colt up… 10-9 god it was worth the wait. Fun that’s what happens. 

 

[NorthWoods]

That turned into a fun game to watch.  Very happy to see Riley come through and then do a good job on the bases.

When I saw this after being on customer service for MLB for 30 minutes, I thought perhaps you were being ironic. I thought it was impossible that we had won and you’re awesome.

[Motor City Sonics]

I know I am late with this, but I was in transit from work to home when this happened.  If you give me a hard time about it, I will look for you, I WILL find you, and I will stare at you disapprovingly. 

 

THE BUS WAS LATE, BUT THE BUS IS HERE 

 

 

[IdahoBert]

I am completely floored. I thought the guys were dead ducks. I sure am glad they’re better than me.

Yes!

[IdahoBert]

Well, the plane trip to Boston is going to be vastly more pleasant after this win.

Hopefully many more in the future.

We walked away from the game when the delay started, came back and my wife turned the game on. I scrolled ahead to the bottom of the ninth, to get the final score and see how bad the damage was.

That was when I got a text from my son "Just need "Glayber and McGonigle to get on and a Kerry Bonds return". Followed by Greene!!!    What a game.

I messaged him we were playing catch up. Followed by WOW!!. My notifications let me in on what was happening. I kept quiet to allow allow the spouse to enjoy the ending. It was fun

DISGUSTING to blow a 6-1 lead.  YUCK!  Come back and make us forget that happened boys. 

But not disgusting to win that sucker down 7-9

The money, development resources, and reps wasted on Maeda, Paddack, Morton, Cobb and now Anderson are really bothering me.

I honestly can't give Harris credit for any positives because I simply can't look past the atrocious decisions he's made regarding SP.

That seems like a healthy mindset.

They’re good enough, they’re smart enough, and gosh darn it we like them… for the most part…
