Detroit, Michigan. As with their maize and blue Wolverines, people of Michigan root heartedly for their Detroit Tigers, and Wednesday afternoon, they were on the brink of extinction. Dan Dickerson of 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit was sounding down after the M’s staked themselves to a 3-0 lead. Then the Rigers roared to life and clobbered the M’s 9-3. Tomorrow, the Tigers have their ace on the mound, and I expect cat scratch fever from Tarik. It doesn’t matter what you do early, because the Tigers’ offense has the ability to roar at any time, led by Manager A.J. Hinch. As was the case on Wednesday, you can expect the M’s to be on the attack early, but Tarik will counterpunch the Mariners. I expect that Kerry Carpenter and Dillon Dingler will get base hits and home runs before the night is over, and I expect the cardiac kitties to roar past Randy Arozarena and the rest of the Seattle not so Mariners. The Tigers will be fueled by their city and will pummel the Mariners into submission.
