The Moment I Knew
The moment I knew the Tigers were going to win, Curtis Granderson had just been pitched a his second ball. He had a 2-1 count. The camera showed Craig Monroe on deck, with a bat on his shoulders.
At that moment, for some reason I became calm. And I said, out loud "We're going to do it. Granderson's going to walk, and Monroe's going to hit a home run." Libby heard it. You can ask her.
So Granderson reaches, on a walk. As per my prediction.
Craig Monroe steps to the plate. And as soon as that ball went off that bat, I knew. And everyone else watching the game on my floor knew. And I was out in the hall high-fiving people I've never seen before. That's how awesome this was. That's how amazing this was.
If you don't know - Craig Monroe hit a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth. We'd been trailing 3-2. We won 5-3. So, Steve was one run off on his interpretation of my dream numbers. But still, Steve. That's really good.

Well, not known to be a prognosticator, I thought I did okay with your dream numbers. Have you had a dream about the World Series yet? Or the Lions going to the Super Bowl? In 2040, maybe. Oughta be a good one today, Bondy vs. Johnson. By the way, clock on wall at Yankee Stadium was 10:07 when Monroe hit the HR. 4 digit number. Just a hunch.
