Grandy shot is amazing, nice capture... You did good with being assigned the concourse level....

Super set Steve.
Unbelievably.....my Direct TV pooped out right at the start of the last inning due to rain....so I completely missed Papa Grande's efforts....and the win!

Great series hope they do well in the playoffs

Great work as always, Steve.

Maybe we'll have a I-94 World Series between the Brewers and the Tigers. I'd be quite pleased with that combination.

So would I. As a lifelong Mariners fan I couldn't stand to see the Rangers make it to the World Series two years in a row.

C'mon Steve you need to give those Tigers a little pep talk! Beating the Yankees is always nice but there is more to be accomplished. Hopefully they will bounce back at home. Nice capture on the Grandison shot.

Thanks Marc, message delivered, nice 5-2 win in Game 2 tonight!

That would be awesome wouldn't it? Then Prince Fielder could play against his daddy's old team in the Fall Classic.

Super set Steve.

Crap! I hate when the hard rain knocks out my DirecTV too. It was a good effort by Papa Grande.

Grandy shot is amazing, nice capture... You did good with being assigned the concourse level....

That one was from the outside 3rd base well, so I was at field level for it, and I JUST KNEW he would catch it too. I was on the batter and at the crack of the bat I knew where it was going, panned over and nailed the focus on Grandy for the whole thing. Just a split second later on that shot and the ball would have been much closer to his glove, but I'm told it looks even better this way since you can see his eyes, the ball is captured against the wall, and the TENSION in the shot with him laid out like that is really nice.
When NY visited here early in the year he made it a point to say hi to everyone, even a big handshake and hello for me too. This time around though none of that since this was the playoffs, and I understood but not everyone else did, oh well.
