Tiger pitcher Nate Robertson headed right to the computer after beating the Athletics last night in Game One of the ALCS. He was still a little pumped after the Biggest Game of the Year:
That was exciting. The emotion I was showing, it's pure adrenaline. This time of year, it's get-it-done or go home, and no situation is as big as those situations could've been for them. It was just big for me to go out and get out of them.
...
For the team, and for Ingey to come out and have an offensive display. Not just Ingey, but Pudge, the guys that get big hits, and Polly and Grandy. Up and down the lineup, coming up with big hits, big at-bats, taking some pitches that we're not necessarily known for doing, and we worked it. We worked the counts. Man, I'll tell you what, it was just fun baseball tonight, all the way around, making defensive plays.
Nicknames galore for the Tigers, apparently. Brandon Inge, Ivan Rodriguez, Gus Polidor, and the guy who played Gopher on The Love Boat got the big hits and Robertson got the win.
Game Two tonight.
