That experience ranked as one of my all-time greatest games I saw live. The place was so quiet you could hear a mouse fart in after Seattle took the 3-0 lead. There was just a weird sense of doom hanging over the place the whole day leading up to the bottom of the 5th. Tickets for the game on the secondary market plummeted after Tuesday's loss. Tickets in our section were half off Wednesday morning and went down to 3 dollars at first pitch. Then the 3 run bottom of the 5th happened and the place shook off a months worth of frustration for the rest of that game. The Tigers scored at least one run in every inning from the 5th to the end of the game. It was fantastic live. A few games I have been to have been the Tigers last one at Tiger Stadium (amazing but sad), Verlander's first no-hitter, cycle game by Carlos Guillen, my 12th birthday where me and my friends were allowed onto the field to meet players, and still my all time favorite, the Wizard of Woodward game (2006) where the Tigers closed out the Yankees in the division series and the city erupted and the team was celebrating with the fans in the stands. They carried Leyland on their shoulders into the dugout that day like it was the movie Rudy. So a lot of cool memories and this one is in there somewhere and it wasn't even a close out game. They still have to win game 5 to get the chance to re-new and old 80's rivalry with Toronto.
