00:00My first major memories of baseball besides going to games was when I was
00:06five years old in 1964 and we had World Series tickets Philly's in the Cardinals
00:12and for some reason we weren't going I said dad how come we're not going the
00:17World Series because you know you know I mean I was five years I didn't follow
00:21every game as well they they didn't get to the World Series they were the
00:27Phillies were up six and a half games with ten to play it's one of the all-time
00:30chokes of all time this is for the Tigers the complete opposite I've never
00:35look I know the 73 Mets were over eight and a half or whatever out in the same
00:39time period to come back and make the playoffs that might be a little more
00:43impressive because there was less playoff spots well actually it's less
00:46impressive because the Mets had a pretty good team a guy named Tom Seaver was on
00:51that team he could be a good good player. Have you heard of Tarek Skubal? He's on this team.
00:55Yeah I understand that but their basic roster was better than the Tigers.
00:58I got you but but the crazy thing about this team is and you might disagree and
01:02I want to ask the question as well in addition to where you're watching
01:05tonight because they're gonna clinch tonight I think we're all pretty
01:09confident but now that you know they're going to the postseason it's a given how
01:14far can they go in the second season because if you play at Baltimore they're
01:19still dealing with some starting pitchers being out Rodriguez isn't back
01:23I'm worried about Corbin Burns because he's dominated the Tigers twice now
01:27right the only time the Tigers have lost is when Burns is pitching. So I'd probably rather stay
01:33away from Baltimore but then you look at Houston and you say to yourself they
01:36don't lose in the postseason in that building correct and they have so much
01:40like experience with Altuve and Bregman and Tucker and the list goes on and on
01:46Verlander might not even make the playoff roster so with that being said
01:50the way AJ Hinch manages this team the timely hitting the great pitching the
01:55unbelievable defense there's no reason they couldn't make a run. Yeah they could
02:00that's nothing would surprise me look if I would ask me to pick that series I
02:06would pick Houston to win just based on overall talent and the experience that
02:10you mentioned but how nothing this team has done would surprise me two four eight
02:17five three nine ninety seven ninety seven that's the telephone number the
02:21ticket text we do have a pair of tickets to give away Sunday's game Sunday's game
02:26there's a chance it could last till Sunday right and you know what even if
02:29it doesn't it's still gonna be packed there's still fan appreciation day I
02:32believe there's still gonna be a lot of fun at the ballpark the Lions don't play
02:35till Monday night so go out and have a good time win some tickets two four eight
02:40five three nine ninety seven ninety seven I also want to get Jeff what are
02:44people feeling like people you know this team has been as we know awful for
02:50ten years so if you're 20 years old now okay so you were 10 the last time the
02:57Tigers made the playoffs you know who knows if your memory is that great you
03:00know this is all new are you loving this did you did you swear off baseball and
03:06all of a sudden you know what two weeks ago I started watching again there's
03:11something about baseball and I don't know what it is maybe it's because it's
03:14every day that I do think totally gets the city more than any other sport even
03:21the Lions believe it or not even the Red Wings the Pistons right I truly believe
03:25there's something about a so-called pennant race it's every day like my mom
03:30is 82 years old god bless her she stayed up to watch the
03:34Twins game yesterday well she's a huge baseball fan I'm sure yes Freda is a big
03:39baseball fan and by the way Rod Allen was on the call doing the color here so
03:42very excited yeah very except but no I do wonder it's a great question like
03:46what are you feeling how far can they go it's all encompassing Tigers I mean
03:49they're gonna clinch today something nobody ever thought was possible back on
03:52August 11th they had a point zero two chance to make the playoffs now they
03:56have a ninety seven point one percent oh they got up to ninety seven point one I
04:00just made that's close fangraphs should have us at ninety nine percent I would
04:05I would assume yes two four eight five three nine ninety seven ninety seven
04:08it's the Carson Anderson show with the replacements 97 won the ticket
