I had to explain to my friend Kasi what ALCS meant while I was watching the first inning and Barry Zito’s dominating the first and second innings by mowing down the Tigers’ batters.
Obviously, this will be the only time until the Cardinals open their series tomorrow that I would be able to talk with her without making mentions of the Cardinals in our conversations through instant messaging.
Anyway, as far as the game is concerned, the Tigers have two homers on tonight after Zito retired the first eight and Brandon Inge hit a homer that just went inside the foul pole in left field to put the Tigers on the board in the fourth inning.
Maggilo Ordonez singled in a run in the third to score Curtis Granderson as well in the Tigers’ third.
Pudge Rodriguez also hit a homer in the fourth inning that proved to be the stopping point for Zito as he was pulled in the top of the fourth inning and replaced Zito with Gaudin.
Brandon Inge picked up another RBI in the fourth inning to score Marcus Thames and Placido Polanco hit an RBI single to score Brandon Inge in the fourth inning to give the Tigers a 5-0 lead and that is what the score is now in the bottom of the fourth inning with runners on second and third with one out for Oakland.
There’s been some complaints about the glare off the windows in centerfield that was discussed on the air by the Fox TV announcers at the beginning of the game, which has not been a problem lately as the sun has gone down in Oakland.
