<p>What a night - very cold, despite the scoreboard thermometer that seemed stuck on 50 degrees.</p>
<p>Bases loaded, one out and a double play - damn this is going extra innings.</p>
<p>Bottom of the ninth, two on, two out and Magglio Ordonez, supposedly damaged goods, hits his second home run of the night into the left field grandstand. The place, and the entire city, went crazy!</p>
<p>More good news - no repeats of the mayhem in 1984. Bubba Helms, wherever you are, stay there!</p>
<p>As Angels fans, we enjoyed watching the Tigers wipe the floor with the As. Very exciting baseball. And Ordonez is pretty darn cute to boot. Tiger fans just deserved it more too, I think, considering the empty Oakland bleachers for most of the regular season. </p>
<p>We’re rooting for the Mets in the other contest, even though two of our favorite former Angels — Eckstein and Spezio — play for the Cards now. Mets offense was very impressive.</p>
<p>UMDAD–much congratulations. Some of the people I love best in the world live in MI, and are rabid Tiger fans. And I have fond memories from when I was at UM myself.</p>
<p>I will enjoy the WS a lot if my Mets manage to limp into it. I’ll still root for them, of course, but I won’t so much mind losing to the Tigers, should that happen. And if, by some chance, the Amazin’s don’t make it in, I will root heartily for the Tigers.</p>
