Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Relaxed Tigers unfazed by task.
Club remains calm ahead of Game 5 in the Bronx.
from the Tigers official site

"I'm playing Don Kelly at third base tomorrow, and Magglio Ordonez in right field," said Leyland.
"Basically, being totally honest with you, I would like to get through this game tomorrow with Fister, [Phil] Coke if necessary, [Joaquin] Benoit and [Jose] Valverde," Leyland said. "There's no secret to that. That's what we would like to get through the game with."

Max Scherzer is available after his gem of a start on Sunday. Justin Verlander, according to Leyland, is not, though Verlander said a few days ago he would lobby hard for it and might sneak into the bullpen anyway. Short of that, it's all hands on deck, but the right hands.
 
Detroit Tigers Team Notes

October 6 in Tigers history :

1945 - A goat and its owner make an appearance at Wrigley Field for Game 4 of the World Series. The pair is told to leave before the game ends, angering the owner. The Chicago Cubs lose to the Detroit Tigers, 4 - 1. Detroit will go on to win the Series in seven games and the Cubs won't win another National League championship for the rest of the 20th century. A belief that the Cubs were cursed by the goat will eventually develop.

2009: Detroit loses 6 - 5 to Minnesota in a one-game playoff to determine the winner of the AL Central title. Alexi Casilla singles home the winning run with one out in the 12th inning. The Tigers had led the division by 3 games with 4 to play, and were ahead by 7 games on September 6 before sputtering down the stretch. Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera, under a swirl of controversy over allegations of impaired driving and domestic violence, hits an early home run to put Detroit ahead, but is thrown out at home by Nick Punto in the top half of the 12th. It is the last regular-season game to be played at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Following the 2010 season, a panel of experts at the MLB Network will vote this the 16th greatest game of the past fifty years.
