OCT 12, 24 ( 2 / 2 ) .. FOR "OUR" DETROIT TIGER BASEBALL FANS EVERYWHERE..

This past Wednesday, October the 9th, we published a Post about "Our" Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball Team. We labeled it Part 1 of 2 Posts.

Dating back to 2014, this is the first time in 10 years that "Our Tigers" have been in the MLB playoffs! 

So all of we "Tigers Fans" have been very excited that first, the Tigers were able to get into the playoffs, BUT then, traveling to Houston, Texas, on the road, the Tigers swept the Houston Astros out of the playoffs with two consecutive victories and advanced to play the Cleveland (formerly the Indians) Guardians in the five game Division Series.

All went very well. As we showed on October the 9th, The Tigers were one win away from moving on to the next round of the baseball playoffs.

On Thursday, October the 10th, Cleveland won a very close game 5 - 4 meaning the final (winner take all) game would be in Cleveland today, Saturday, October the 12th. 

Today Cleveland beat "Our Tigers" thereby ending our 2024 baseball season.

As you can see in the above "box score", in the top of the 5th inning, the Tigers scored first and were leading the game 1 - 0.

Then, in the bottom of the 5th inning, "The lights went out" and Cleveland exploded for five runs, adding additional runs in both the 7th and 8th innings to win 7 - 3.

In publishing this Post, Patti and I wanted "to process" the end of the 2024 season for the Tigers.

GRATITUDE.. 

The below words say so very much!

Patti and I texted Tom and Ginny the below message after the game was over.

OCT 9, 24 ( 1 / 2 ) .. FOR "OUR" DETROIT TIGER BASEBALL FANS EVERYWHERE..

Today, yes today, Wednesday, the 9th of October 2024, "Our Detroit Tigers" took another big step as they move through this years MLB (Major League Baseball) Playoffs hoping to advance to the next round.

This is the first time in 10 years, dating back to 2014, that "Our Tigers" have been in the MLB playoffs.

Thanks to the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit News and numerous other online publications in the public domain, I am showing some of the many photos online.

Below is a chart of the 2024 MLB Postseason. "Our Detroit Tigers" are shown in the extreme, upper left corner.

In the first (Wild Card) round, "Our Tigers" defeated the Houston Texas Astros 2 games to none and moved into the current round (the ALDS American League Division Series) facing the Cleveland (formerly The Indians) Guardians.

With todays 3 - 0 victory, "Our Tigers" are one win away from advancing into the ALCS (American League Championship Series).

Tomorrow, in Detroit, they will again play Cleveland. If they win they advance.

How about this! 

Detroit Tiger Toms grandson, the apple of his eye, and Toms daughter, were at the game and will also be back tomorrow.

Go Tigers!

Cap and Patti along with Detroit Tiger Fans Far and Wide!

Thursday, October the 10th. Today Cleveland won a very close game 5 - 4. The final, deciding, game of the series will be played in Cleveland this Saturday, October the 12th.
