Always A Tiger

[mfbmike]

There was a 20 MPH wind blowing into the outfield. :rofl: They kept hanging curveballs/sliders.

It's funny too. Because the very first pitch of the game, Pettitte threw a fastball at Granderson's head. Granderon had to duck out of the way. It's almost like we made his ass pay for trying to end Granderson's career.

Polanco no homers all year, and then 2 in one game. Crazy.

Every single home run I hit was to right field. Which is where the wind was blowing. :rofl:

Nice win, you're having the same July jolt I had in my chise

 

[mfbmike]

Yeah, it's pretty funny how far out in front the Rays are. The AL is a joke in this chise I swear rofl.

I'm hoping I can get to 10 wins and get that trophy. lol.

6 straight, mike is about to ignite!

 

[mfbmike]

Yeah, definitely. If I get to 10 straight wins, I think it's def time to bump it up.

It's funny to think that at the beginning of this chise, I was actually swept by the Mariners. lol.
