A good victory

They all are good, aren't they? But this one, 8-7 vs. the Cards last night, was pretty sweet, indeed. First, the Tigers pulled off a come-from-behind win, featuring several spirited rallies. For a fan, that's always neat to see. Some times, in baseball, you don't think the players care about a game once the other team gets ahead by a couple-three runs or so. It's like, OK, this is over.
But the Tigers bounced back nicely.
And, they got a clutch hit from Gary Sheffield, whom I despise as a player. Now, he can hit. There is no argument here. But he is a one-dimensional piece of dirt as a player. If he doesn't hit, he cannot help you. At all. He doesn't move runners, he doesn't hit in the clutch (except maybe for last night) and he doesn't situation hit, at all. He doesn't play the field. He does walk a lot.
Any way, Sheff-dirt contributes and the Tigers rally. All in all, a good win.
