I thought the game was very intriguing from beginning to end:
"Both underachieving teams began the final month with double-digit deficits in their divisions.
Perhaps the only intriguing moment happened in the second inning when Ivan Rodriguez came to the plate for the first time against the Tigers since they traded him, and the catcher was greeted with a standing ovation. He acknowledged the fans by taking off his helmet and waving to the sold-out crowd."
ARod with three at-bats with the bases loaded. Two hits, three rbis.
STORYLINE: ARod batting with runners on base? Yawn. This has received more ink that Hurricane Gustav.
Cano making two good plays in the field ... including the first diving stop I've ever seen him make which led to an out ... followed in the very next inning by another tank job on a sure double play.
STORYLINE: What's the deal with this guy? Is it just talent that can never be harnessed? Is it really possible that he's trying hard, but it just doesn't seem that way?
Yankees winning by six in the second inning and Magglio Ordonez is batting with bases loaded and two outs.
STORYLINE: How much did Ordonez drop off after last season's MVP-caliber campaign?
Phil Coke throws a shutout inning and strikes out two in his first major league inning.
STORYLINE: Can Coke step up and fill the Yankees' need for a lefty pitcher?
Crowd's reaction to Ivan Rodriguez's first at-bat?
Personally, I did not care too much about that.
