Still Alive

My Detroit Tigers beat Cleveland IN Cleveland Thursday to advance to the American League Divisional Series. Today, they will take on the Seattle Mariners in game one of a 5 game series. The Mariners are a good team, and it is going to be a tough series.

In a conversation I had with my dad this week, he felt that if the Tigers went on to play the Mariners, they wouldn’t do well. I know that he was extremely disappointed with the way they played at the end of the season. That may be why he believes this. I, however, am thinking positive.

I am going to hope that their win over Cleveland will be motivation to play better baseball. I hope that it brings back the energy that they felt in the first half of the season. Just like we had a slump, the Mariners can still have one, right? It’s a game after all.

Yogi Berra is credited with saying, “It ain’t over, till it’s over.” The next 5 games are extremely important.

Go get ’em Tigers!
