There's No Miggy Like Our Miggy

Miguel Cabrera - Detroit Tigers
 

OK. Here's how it is.

Did you see it?

OK. Really. Listen up, then.

OK. Seriously.

Two pitches in a row.

Two pitches = Two Homers.

Here's what happened.

The last thing I saw Saturday night on TV was "Miggy" hitting his 39th homer -- a walk-off, game-winner -- bottom of the ninth inning against Kansas City.

41,000+ at Tiger Stadium went bananas.

(You might have noticed that I've got the fever -- Tiger Fever!

) And then, when I finally got my Sunday under control and switched on TV to check in on Tigers and Max Scherzer (going for win number 18) . . .

Well, I'm a little late -- It's the bottom of the 1st inning . . .

Runner on first . . . Miggy's up . . . First pitch to Miggy . . . Oh Yeah, Baby!

Line drive "laser" into the left-field seats . . . Tigers 2-0.

Unbelievable!

Two pitches in a row -- Last pitch Saturday night and first pitch on Sunday afternoon -- Two pitches -- Two Homers.

Way too cool for words!

Watching Cabrera hit Major League pitching right now is like watching a video game . . . Miggy might just hit a homer every time he bats.

When the dust settled on Sunday . . .

  • Scherzer won his 18th game
  • Miggy has a lock on the Batting Title at .360
  • Miggy has 40 HR's (Trailing Chris Davis of the Orioles by 5)
  • Miggy has 120 RBI in 124 games -(Leading Chris Davis of the Orioles who has 115)

    Stay tuned . . . 38 Games to Go!
