The part of this series that stuck out the most to me was how clueless C-MO looked at the plate. I am sure that they will get that straightened out soon though. Despite the 3K's (I actually don't remember 3, just 2 of them), Granderson had an outstanding series. I'm glad to see that "my tiger" is hitting well. I have to agree with you that when Granderson didn't score on the passed ball it felt like they held him up to not "run it up". In pro sports you are paid to win, not make the other team feel good. If they did hold him for this reason it very nearly cost them a win. Mags had a tough day in right field (and can look very lost out there at times), but I chalk his struggles up to the strong wind and am not too concerned about that. I also thought (and Bilfer hit on it) that Guillen looked very good defensively at short in the 2 games played. Mario and Rod were talking about he lost 10 lbs in the off season, hopefully it will improve his range. Nice summary Kurt.
